If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Stem home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Metal roofing handles extreme weather better than any other residential material. Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218, meaning it withstands the largest hail without damage, often qualifying for insurance premium discounts. Class A fire rating per UL 790. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592.
