Asphalt Shingles VS Lifetime Steel Roofing
|
If you go with asphalt, you’ll need to replace your shingles at least twice. I don’t care what the warranty says: An asphalt shingle will last 10-15 years—maximum. They start to break down as soon as they’re exposed to weather. And if you don’t replace them you expose your home to the elements, making it vulnerable. MIKE HOLMES Holmes makes it Right |
ASPHALT SHINGLES - UNDERSTANDING THE 7 COSTS OF ‘ TOTAL ROOF OWNERSHIP’
1. Upfront Roofing / Re-Roofing Costs - Its your money. Use it wisely. If you plan to stay in your home, do you really want to spend money on replacing your homes roof twice or more?
2. Expected Roof Life - What’s the true expected life of your roof if you choose asphalt shingles VS a metal roof? (15 yrs. or 50 yrs.? )
3. Future Roof Replacement + Landfill Costs – At just 3% annual CPI, are you willing to pay double for the future replacement cost of a disposable shingle roof + soaring landfill costs?
4. Future Roof Repair & Maintenance Costs - Will you need to spend on asphalt shingle roof maintenance over the next 20 years? Climate change & severe weather patterns predict YES. A new metal roof system comes with free lifetime maintenance included plus a 50 Year Product Warranty
5. Home Energy Costs Over Expected Roof Life - Can asphalt shingles help reduce your homes energy costs? Definitely not. An ECO ROOF on the other hand saves 15-20% on Summer cooling costs and 5% on Winter heating costs for the warranted life of your roof.
6. Property Appreciation / Depreciation Costs - Does an asphalt shingle roof appreciate at the same value as your home? You can choose to invest in a lifetime metal roof that appreciates in value with your home, or a disposable asphalt roof that depreciates in value over 15 years and becomes a future liability cost
7. Environmental Impact - Eco Sustainability - Eco Responsibly - Are asphalt shingles an environmentally sustainable solution? Absolutely not. Fossil fuels used to make shingles leach volatile gasses in to the atmosphere and contaminate ground water tables while on your roof and also in landfill. Metal roofing is 100% sustainable and can be recycled , and your homes carbon footprint is dramatically reduced because energy needed for Summer cooling and Winter heating is significantly reduced over the life of your ECO ROOF

Why Metal Roofing Makes $ense
A Sound Investment in Your Home
With constantly increasing material and labor costs, the lifetime ownership cost of keeping an asphalt shingle roof on your home can be significant. Asphalt shingle roofs have a much shorter life span than metal roofs, and need to be replaced approximately every 15-17 years according to Canada's National Research Council - this despite longer shingle manufacturer warranties.
Stop Renting Your Roof– Own It
Disposable asphalt roofing is a bad choice for the environment and your budget. This is because the life expectancy of asphalt shingles is generally short and unpredictable, making prudent budgeting almost impossible. When asphalt shingles near the end of their service life, they expose your building to risk which may require expensive roof maintenance and repair. Roof leaks are highly disruptive, and are an unnecessary building maintenance expenditure.
Eliminate Roof Repairs and Maintenance from Your Home Maintenance Budget
London Eco-Roof metal roofs come with the BEST WARRANTY IN THE INDUSTRY - a fully transferrable, non pro-rated, 55 year product warranty plus a 50 year workmanship warranty. No need to ever worry about roof maintenance or repairs again!
Improve Your Homes Property Value and Curb Appeal
Your home will reap the payback on investment in metal roofing through increased property value and enhanced curb appeal. Residential properties with metal roofs typically have a 4%-6% higher market value than similar properties with asphalt shingle roofs
Save Money on Energy Bills and Insurance
Energy costs are skyrocketing in Ontario. A London Eco-Metal Roof is self ventilating and reflects the majority of the sun’s rays. This means your new metal roof will not retain heat like asphalt shingles, tiles or cement. An energy efficient metal roof saves up to 15% on annual electricity bills and will keep your building cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter. Because metal is fire resistant it will also lower your home insurance costs. Speak to your insurance agent about lowering your insurance with a metal roof.
Maximise Heating and Cooling Equipment Life
A London Eco-Roof not only significantly lowers your homes energy bills – it also helps maximise the lifespan of heating and cooling equipment which operate more efficiently and effectively once a new metal roof is installed.
Reduce your Homes Carbon Emission Footprint
In most applications, metal can be applied directly over an old shingle roof, saving money and eliminating a great deal of mess. This is favourable since it provides an excellent secondary vapor barrier and reduces cost because there is no old roof to dispose of, and landfill space is spared, helping to protect our environment.
