I did a metal roof 17 years ago in Las Vegas, a Spanish Tile look, Here’s another Great advantage besides the weight. There’s a coating underneath that dissipates the Heat, and you know how Hot it gets in Vegas. During the summer you can’t touch that clay tile and it holds the Heat. If it’s 110 degrees during the day at 2:00 in the morning it’s still 101, that’s Why you’re running the AC 24/7. I could touch the metal roof without smelling my skin burn. I swear the attic was 35-40 degrees cooler
Why do people put these huge expensive houses on such tiny lots ? A giant French country house with views of neighbors from every window !
You ought to see Arcadia, CA ... mansions on postage stamp lots.
Simple, the cost of land in the city. It’s easy to buy land in rural areas not the city.
its funny the contortions Americans go to to make things look like shingles, shows how conditioned we are to accept only what we are used to
Can you do a follow up to show how it is installed?
Evidently not.....LOL
Here's some good info, not enough to be a tutorial. ua-cam.com/video/cAcsEV6B2Qk/v-deo.html
How has color held up.
Compare it to standing seam-that’s the most relevant comparison !
Great videos! To the point, informative and encourages proper installation techniques! Former building inspector here.
I’m just trying
It would be nice to see how it's installed
Why don't you inquire with roofers, and let us know?
Step 1: Obtain roof.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
Metal shingle roofs look like crap after 10 years...ESPECIALLY if you get a hail storm. I take it Matt doesn't do many re-roofs.
Anon Ymous 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
So how does a slate roof look after a hail storm?
@@TheOherik unless its softball size hail, it'll look just like it did before the hail storm. It may even survive that, but most likely you'll have cracked tiles.
Damn. Just replaced a metal roof, but we only got 101 years out of it. Metal roofs must be horrible.
@@miragesmack007 that would make you what, 130 years old?
I like ecostar's 100% recycled rubber slate looking shingles!
If lightining strikes, do i feel a tickle under my britches?
I hope that was open cell foam sprayed between the rafters since they are using a ice and rain shield barrier on the outside of the envelope.
I installed roofs for 2 years and I've never seen a metal shingle. You got the most unique stuff on here. I've done metal roofs but they are sheets not shingles.
I'm going 2 years as a pro and helped out on weekends for 5 years have never seen metal shingles installed.
I've heard of them as well as stone coated metal roofs that look like asphalt but haven't used any.
It's just that people don't really go to these products due to their cost.
It's already rare enough to see presidential shingles and they are expensive. GAF Glenwood is already very expensive, Home Depot sells it at around $36 a bundle and it takes 9 bundles a square. That's $324 a square while Owens Corning Duration Storm is only around $120-$140 a Square.
@@bryanmartinez6600 I think it's also being unaware if the product. I was only aware of the sheet metal roofing (which I associate with country styling), but saw this video ua-cam.com/video/cAcsEV6B2Qk/v-deo.html and am interested. Not sure if I'd be as willing to try this, vice the asphalt shingle.
LOL REALLY?! It's like first day on the job I saw one!
I’m happy to find this! Our 130 years old steel roof has finally given out. Actually the nailing gave out.
Video idea.
Maybe do a video on solar panels and battery backups. With some common questions and some tips.
Ashish Patel seeing how California its Mandatory all new home building to have solar
That's on a different part of UA-cam
Yes, that was my first thought. How is the solar install on these shingles
Your voice sounds like Andy "Nard dog" Bernard from The Office.
someone finally said it.
What happens when you walk on it?
Great question, hope you don't mind my input! Aluminum crushes very easily but often comes with a styrofoam backer. If walking on it may be needed to keep it clean always get the backer! In our climate, it's better to use steel, Kynar Coated Steel.
You can walk on a slate roof easily without damaging it. You just step on the part of the slate that's closest to where it's nailed down, ie. the part that's closest to the roof where it's supported directly underneath by the roof. After all, when slates have to be able to be replaced you have to walk on the slates to get to the point needing a repair. If anyone says you can't walk on a slate roof they don't know what they're talking about. It's a canard.
What is the cost vs a traditional 3 tab roof?
Roofer's rule of thumb as of 2018, 2.5 xs.
@@Austinroofingcontractors So instead of $12,000 for a roof replacement, figure $30,000......wow!
I understand. A good quality asphalt roof should be able to last 20-25 years at least. And don't forget that the average American has less than $1,000 in savings.
To get to the point quickly, if you want a truly long lasting roof just invest in one roof which won't ever rust or decompose, ie. a slate roof. My parents cape cod style house has had a slate roof for 73 years without a leak. The house was built by the builder of all the homes on the street for his daughter's family so everything was top quality. The only problem that rarely occurs is the steel roofing nails rusting through and the piece of slate falls down into the gutter undamaged. You just re-nail it in place. In 73 years no more than a dozen shingles have had to be re-nailed in place. You pay extra up front for slate shingles but then can totally forget about the roof. I've seen slate roofed homes which were demo'd and the slates were carefully removed for re-use on another home. They're quite the win-win choice.
The problem is. American's own a house for an average of 7 years before they move on to something else. Unless you are talking a high end house, likely not a good investment and when the rubber meets the road, will likely not make the house worth much if any more. In Europe and countries like Germany where they have houses that stay in the family for multiple generations. We spoiled American's get tired with things too quickly, throw it aside and move to something different. Sad, but true.
Why are they so expensive to install? A lot of the old houses in Ohio have slate roofs. Surely a lot of those folks were not rich. Was slate just cheap back then and easy to install and then got more expensive over time?
Why are there steel nails slate should be installed using copper nails.
Dennis Fernau Actually Europeans tend to move house almost as frequently. It's just that slate and tile are expected here. Houses don't command a premium because of it, but a house with an alternative roof will certainly be less saleable. The thing about slate and tile, is that they last indefinitely and we prefer the reassurance that we won't have to replace the roof within a few years of moving in.
NOTHING beats a standing seam copper roof. The house will rot away before the copper roof does.
Dont stand under it .
When it finishes snowing.
Avalanche.
Real slate lasts forever.
125 to 200 yrs
As in the snow that comes off the roof in a big pile/ avalanche.
Slate and rubber roofs have the same result.
No-one's gonna think it is a slate roof if they see curved eaves - slate is formed in dead flat layers so it doesn't come curved
No shit Sherlock! The point is it's very close for the cost and weight savings.
Matt, have you ever used Decra Steel Roofing?
I've had a metal roof like this since 2009 in the Northeast and it handles hail, trees, ice and snow beautifully. Finish is still amazing, and I get compliments all the time. We used "Interlock" brand, which may be a northeast name for a broadly available product. It looks a lot like the stuff Matt is installing.
Wish I had found this last year prior to redoing my asphalt shingle roof :(
I've had a similar metal roof that's matte dark grey for 9 years. It still looks new! My house was built in 1904 and some moron nailed through the original slate roof while they were putting on a crappy asphalt roof. We wanted to get back the Victorian look and it is awesome.
Nice roof but a shit design. All those ridiculous ridges and valleys from some architects wet dream. I guess Americans measure value by how many convolutions in a roof design. Sad
Check out Edco metal shakes. Lifetime warranty and transferable. Made in USA
How does this hold up in wind?
160 mph according to website
Garrard and Sierra stone-coated steel (invented in Australia, 30 years ago) are pinned in the front. In the College Hills, Glendale CA fires of ~1990 (my home town, and near where I grew up), caused by notorious arsonist John Orr on a Santa-Ana wind day, the only houses left standing were those with stone-coated steel roofs. Clay tiles are pinned in the back and they blew off, rendering their advertised fire resistance useless.
Some of us guys from church went to put a tarp on an elderly lady's house after a tornado and she had a metal shingle roof. The only place where there was any shingle damage was where trees punctured holes in the roof, none were lifted. The house was an older concrete block home and other than the tree damage the home was fine. Across the highway where the tornado was confirmed to be an FROM all the homes were leveled.
DEREMEYER1 -- You made some good points, but thumbs down for all the shouting.
John Becich - double lock standing seam metal roof will last forever
Kynar is definitely a very durable thermoset polymer but it will degrade over time. What is the mil thickness of Kynar applied? 1, 2, 3 or more? That home is not spitting distance from Chicago 😏. Noise is not something new I want to endure. Kynar degrades. Paint fades. Then what is the surface prep like to repaint? Polyurea?
Finished roof reminds me of that SuperDura synthetic slate.....
How "walkable" is it? Looks like it'd dent easily under foot.
if you wear snowshoes, it won't cave in.
Socks and under 100pds!
First rule of building should be don't fake anything! Use metal if you want, but don't use metal pretending to be slate. Same with plastic "timber" cladding etc. None are convincing, and all look cheap and tacky.
I'm currently building a terrace and I want to cover it. There is already a roof on the house made of metal plates like yours. How do I connect the new roof to the old one? How do I put the plates under the old ones that are fixed
Cost compared to 30yr asphalt shingles?
Roll over method is another common installation practice to eliminate J.
“30 year”
How's this roof holding up so far?
@@edmora1935 my 25 year are holding up pretty well at 21 years in, western ny state. Time to look into doing something.
The asphalt shingles are the greatest load of shit that anyone could put on a roof bar none!!
I put on a metal roof over 20 years ago when living in California. Much lighter roof than the previous cedar shake roof (especially when wet). Because the roof loading is less, it is more effective in preventing earthquake damage on the building structure. A second advantage, a metal roof is far more effective from external fire damage. The only negative aspect is that TV antennas in the attic no longer worked....
Interesting Keith. But now nobody cares about TV antennas anymore. So now with these new designs the appeal is substantial. I wonder how easy it is to keep cool in this house. I had new build home in CA that had beautiful concrete shingle tiles and at about 1pm every night the horrible heat would radiate through the house like an easy bake oven and you would sweat in bed if you didn't have the AC on and I wasn't comfortable having the windows open in CA. It was incredible how hot this roof made the house. I installed a whole house fan to deal with this problem. It was great but whenever you didn't have it running the house would again heat up and bake even though it had next level high rated insulation and had an energy star certification. Another draw back to the wonderful fresh air from the whole house fan is it also brought in dust into the house.
@@orlandotourist4302 That's not entirely true. Lots of people who live outside of urban areas still care very much about TV antenna signals, as they frequently don't have Cable TV in their areas, and also don't have sufficient internet capacity to rely on streaming video services. My parents are one example, and we're still up in the northeast where even "rural" isn't that secluded. I'd imagine the issue only gets worse as you get out into the midwest.
@@c182SkylaneRG Those are what we call poor people.
I like to roll my real slate along the edges like that too.
In a weird way, I also like the ability to bend these shingles to contour to the eaves you've got there, but from a traditional perspective, try bending slate! Haha!
Bend it baby!
Miss the rouge videos...but you failed to tell us if this was steel or aluminum...
Matt you should check out Decra too we had one installed 5 or so years ago we absolutely love it, it looks like a shingled roof and I don't think anyone would know either. Down side we were the first in the south to have one so they say, I think if memory serves they do more out towards California, the first installer messed it up and it had some leaks. Decra stepped up and got someone out here and did a beautiful job with no charge to us. I can't remember the wind ratings but I remember it was pretty high compared to normal roofing when I looked it up also has a 50 year warranty, this is all from memory. To date we have been through hail and a few hurricanes with 20in+ of rain in a day with zero problems. I think it was rated to 2" hail with no damage.
met
Don't think anyone would know? Keep telling yourself that. Doesn't take an experienced eye to notice these stamped metal roofs...
Decra is a great product fixed correctly, however it looks like what it is a pressed metal tile coated with a pretty impressive granite material.
Paul Webb, I think it looks better then shingles frankly.
I like the look of the Decra product, but the installed cost is about 4x that of 30-year asphalt and 3x 50-year asphalt. Personally, I REALLY want to get a way from asphalt on my house, but a $80K roof on a 3000 sf ranch house (45 degree pitch) is just too expensive!
Cost....?

The building style may be in the country but it’s built in the city so it still a city house
Why do stores still sell asphalt shingles and they do not stock metal shingles? So much better than asphalt. I think builders can't move past the same old ways of doing things.
They say it will last a 100 years but it hasn't been around a 100 years ,any time a hail storm goes through ,that statement tells me ura crack pot an haven't done shit but game ru k people money an u sub it out an the sub contractor did all the work ur passing it off as ur work ,
Black? In Austin. I know it might look nice but doesn't it absorb enough heat to be worth design changes?
Matt what do you think of EDCO verses TAMKO?
Is there a reason there isn't a 1x2 behind that drip edge to keep water off that fascia?
I’m a roofer and do shingles and standing seam and propanel and this looks like shit 😂
What’s the pricing on this compared to standard asphalt shingles? Does anyone have an idea?
THANKS MUCH !! and different Underlayments i have not seen.
Just STILL REALLY NEED A Wood Worker (i can trust) to construct a different Roof Frame over back room.
Why id you only hold that one piece of roofing upside down? Why not show us the upper part of the piece instead or was there something not compatible with viewing it.
You can get a recycled plastic shingle/shake here in Australia and the guy that makes them will guarantee them for 200 years .

They have those in the States too. They suck. Cost about as much as the real thing, but they color will fade and they scratch very easily and cut pieces don't look right on one story buildings (or anywhere where they are visible from a window).
Great Moose Detective I guess it's down to the manufacturer , I have one that has been floating around my truck for about 10 years that I use for all manner of things and it's not scratched or faded .
I get you're point about the cuts but here we traditionally put a bull nose capping on hips that hide cuts and keep the valley cuts tight so you don't see much .
splashpit
I used CertainTeed's fake slate once about two years ago. It looked okay for our installation, but like i said, it scratched incredibly easily, and every cut revealed that the color is much lighter 1/16" below the surface. A hip roof with no trees over it would be fine, but cut shingles on any rake will look exactly like they are- cut plastic. I tried everything to blend them in (flipping the cut side to the inside and roughing up the cut to match the texture), and nothing looked good for the money. I would never use a fake slate again. Real slate is much nicer.
Very melty / burny in fires, so no thanks - especially in hot, dry Oz.
The guy that makes them won't be here in 200 years to claim your warranty.
It must be super expensive. You didn't even mention cost. The number one factor in any building project.
I was quoted between 2.90 and 3.25 per sq foot for the metal. Not that bad.
Really surprised Matt didn't compare costs. There are no websites that tell you a cost to you can compare if it's worth the extra (sad face)
That would be really helpful, even just a ballpark
Love it but, do they make this metal roof that imitates the asphalt shingles look?
There are 2 that I know of
Boral Granite Ridge and
Decra shingle XD
The thing is they cost several times more than normal shingles but can actually last a lifetime unlike shingles in my opinion.
Have never done an install of them because of how expensive and shingles are common and more affordable. A good shingle is Owen's Corning Duration Storm
Usually when you go to a higher end roof, your trying to get away from that cheap asphalt look. Typically your trying to simulate shake, tile, stone roofs.
how did it take you to install it or did you hire a roofer
I found individual metal shingles in my neighbors attic where the roof line was changed. Really cool ones, and very old! I was a roofer for many years, didnt know they had these back then.
How does this compare to something like a Euroshield rubber roof?
I would like to know which is more resistant to hail.
I think the days of asphalt 3 tab old school shingles are limited. People are sick of replacing them in every wind strorm, or every major hail storm, and the life span. I wonder if insurance companies will look into this and give you lower premiums if you do roofs like this.
I agree with ya Virgil and that would be nice, but think about what you just said " Insurance companies giving lowering premiums" That's kind of an oxymoron ?
D B, Really ? In half just for a metal roof, did they say the specific reason. I would think it would go up do to the fact that you're increasing the value of the home.
Insurance companies do prefer metal roofs and have to factor in risk to their premiums. So more often then not especially if the metal roof is a under insurance replacement they will adjust your premium for the lower risk.
Metal roofs are not only more durable but far easier to repair. If one part of a roof gets heavily hail damaged on asphalt shingle you can't really just replace that one spot. It will look different due to wear and not to mention the lifetime of the surrounding shingles is much less.
Metal roofs on the other hand can easily be recoated if need be to match wear and their far greater durability means they aren't paying for a repair that will have to be replaced anyway in 5-10 years when the other shingles wear out.
Metal roofs also lower the insurance risk because they are not as prone to snow loading as an asphalt roof so there is less chance of a collapse. And to protect areas people may be under when snow breaks loose horizontal snow guards are easy to install.
Agreed they are complete garbage
I think when it comes to replace my asphalt shingles I will be going this route, or something similar. Not going to tear up a completely good roof. I manually tabbed my asphalt shingles about 7 years ago after loosing some here and there due to wind. Took me an entire weekend, but I dont lose shingles anymore
In northern climates that get a lot of snow there is a problem with large sheets of snow/ice sliding off the roof all at once. This happened to a neighbor where the ice chunk busted his AC condenser. There are these spikes or blocks that need to be installed around the lower side of the roof to prevent this. Please do a video explaining this.
You can build a cover for the AC condenser to protect it.
Trying to get A quote but will give it to me because I email address
This is a lovely look, especially for houses made of cracked stone or even cracked concrete block. I'd put this on a commercial building of such block, using a Mansard design.
I have experimented personally with radiant barrier, and glass films, on property I own, to great success in southern California where the sun really bears down. A radiant barrier needs to be shiny, to work, on at least one side, and that's the side that needs an air gap. (A vacuum gap would be even better, but that's impossible.) I doubt this roof will serve that purpose, with its lack of sheen and that mesh beneath; the heat can conduct via the mesh, to the sub-roof, and then radiate into the attic. So that attic might not be such a conditioned space, when it's all done.
I hope there is follow up, with temperature readings ... sans HVAC assist.
Vive le motif de la toiture française.
Those houses look like something from Disneyland. That's not a compliment. Everything in the US looks so fake. Fake slate effect metal roofs? Wouldn't house my dog in it. A decent slate roof will last a century or more.
Well good for you and your dog. Personally my dog has a metal roof in his doghouse and he loves it. It’s not fake metal either, it’s real.
Hi Matt, love your videos. Going to be building a new home in Sarasota Florida area. Could you give me some help on finding a great builder. Thanks
I have had a similar product on a roof in Oklahoma and a hail storm dented the heck out of it. Looked like someone beat it with a ball peen hammer. Luckily it was a rental for me and the rental policy didn’t have the cosmetic damage exclusion. So we replaced it with UL2218 Class 4 impact resistant shingles and cut our insurance in half. If it had been a home owner policy they would have had the exclusion that doesn’t cover cosmetic damage and I would have been stuck with a dented roof. Matt is off with his description of impact resistance. Sure, it will hold up but look like crap after a decent hail storm.
Metal roofs are very durable but after a hailstorm it will be no different than a car body.
what about the rumor that mades when it's raning? is it going to be loudy af ? or is it something underneath that keeps it sturdy from flexing and trembeling ?
Mr-Bledi .....not too bad. One area of my house is roof directly over living space....2x6 rafters, insulation, plywood, roofing paper, then shingles. Maybe slightly noisier, yet not unpleasant.
I agree that your metal roof is superior but the idea that it needs to breathe is not supported by real world usage. I have had 2 metal roofs over 20yrs and both had foam underneath......one rigid and the other spray foamed. Neither has needed to breathe. Ice and water barrier is an excellent underlayment and then screw the metal right to it. No worries, I have this setup right now.
What about zinc? This looks beautiful and lasts ages, we’ve been using it for ages in Europe. in fact the Victorian railway station in my city was restored and re-roofed with zinc ‘scales’ ten years ago. Fabulous. Google Norwich Station roof... UK

How easy is it to replace a damaged shingle?
Just had Hy Grade Roofing install a metal roof at my house. Worst decision I could have made. They promised to install the roof in 4-6 weeks, of course they were late. When they finally showed up without the proper equipment and damaged my property. They are really proud of the “Quality Audit” that they do, but of course they won’t give you a copy of the audit…lol BTW -the “Quality Audit” they did at my house consisted of 2 guys coming over to pickup the leftover junk they left at my house for a month. They never even went up on the roof! Save your money use someone else!
Cost?
If you have to ask ...
If the prices are comparable to Certainteed Matterhorn then in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia you're looking at $450/sq and around $1000 installed. Make sure your roofer has been trained since they are significantly different from asphalt.
whats cost comp
HELP!
We are in need of an honest reliable roofing company. Prices have gone sky high and skill has withered to nothing since hurricane Laura & Delta!
It's a good looking roof. If the paint is warranted for 30 years, how long will the steel last?
I have one question/observation. Does the steel block cell signals? Cellular carriers don't guarantee connectivity indoors, and it is my experience that I miss more calls than I get. Will this only exacerbate the problem?
nice product but what is the PRICE? best i can find is about 300/square. affordable.
How's it hold up to lightning? Grounded?
Roger Kerkmann not many Commercial buildings burning down
Greg Shaw commercial buildings got a lot of cast iron pipe, just wondering how it's grounded, the juice has got to go somewhere.
pretty much nothing holds up to lightning in general.
The paint might interfere with the local welding when it gets hit but overall it should carry a huge amount of current... Replacing welded shingles is gonna be tough....
What about grapefruit-size hail? And how would it hold up with a solar array? And, of course, how would the solar array hold up to grapefruit-size hail?
What's the downside to a roof like this?
Not much. The only downside may be that it's a little more expensive than 3-tab ? But in a place where snow load isn't a factor, a builder might be able to use a 2X6 roof rafter instead of something bigger and make up some of that cost ?
Look at it like this, whats a new roof cost today now add 20% or more in 10 to 15 years or maybe a tear off Double it or more in 10 to 15 year one an done if done right
I can not find anything comparing metal shake, metal shingle, standing seams and stone coated roofs. manufacturers. My concern is with the differences in valleys, trapping water ezpansion and contraction and how that relate to caulking etc.
I scrolled through but didn't see if it was asked. What about the metal rusting? Esp in northern climates like Pennsylvania (phila) where days can be extremely icy then next day melt then re ice again
Thanks for sharing. Metal is the way to go. Asphalt shingles are short term disposable junk. There are literally mountains of asphalt waste in every local landfill (I've seen it)
What most people don't know is that metal roofing can be pressure washed, primed and repainted down the road when the paint fades or starts looking faded or chalky.
👍🤔
Is a metal roof loud in a rain storm like the old tin roof?
Cedar rots, and hail will destroy it….
Lots of choices for roof coverings. They all have good and bad. Pick the one you like and get the best installer you can find. That being said, nothing better than slate for steep slope roofing. The longevity of slate is key to its value in the eyes of homeowners. After all, roofing can be expensive. Slate is one of the few roofing options that doesn't need to be replaced within the span of a lifetime. In most environments, slate shingles will last at least 125 years and sometimes as long as 200 years.
Another good one Matt . . . Thank you
I would hope at the cost of this roof it would perform better than a cheap asphalt roof. However there are several asphalt shingles that perform very well in regards to hail. We put a roof on my parents house and it was nearly 5 times the cost to go metal vs asphalt. My dad did it but i won’t. Ps I make high end shingles. Lol
In my humble opinion metal is the best choice. In 26 years I re-roofed 4 times - and while I was younger, and in one case due to a tornado. I am 58 now - I'll never recommend anything else. And with a 32 year guarantee, (easily lasts 40 years), I'll never roof again.
Just my 2 cents given my experience.
Would you send me a link to your company's website. Other question, do you charge a fee for consulting and or a quote for a housebuild?
Easy-to-spot fake. Way too uniform. And what happens when the paint fades? 30 years and you get weird fading and rust streaks? No thanks.
ArthurDentZaphodBeeb 30 years is just the warranty. Kynar paint has incredible fade resistance. This is a lifetime product.
fading paint is a FAR cry from "rust streaks"
at 90 pounds per square I doubt its steel. would be nice to know that and the gauge
Ruins asphalt shingles when it hails? no.
"Imma gonna show you how to build this awesome table from free pallet wood and $5 of paint, but first let's put this wood through my $10,000 planer...", every build and DIY channel.
How do you think we got the $10,000 planers....
Beautiful but pricey. 😅
Take a panel and huck some golf and baseballs at it to simulate hail storm, I'd love to see what happens. Really good looking roof. Thanks
How does it compare to asphalt shingles as far as developing leaks over maybe 20 years?
I was looking for metal roofing and had a roofer tell me to not go with metal roofing due to heat expansion and winter cold pulling out fasteners (?) causing leaks that are almost impossible to find. Neighbor across the street with metal roof just 'foamed' over the metal in their back due to leaks (blech)! How does this hold up in the desert southwest temperature swings?
Most old slate roofs have the progressively less weather exposure. Up the roof from the eaves. Does this product have this? Some colour mottling would also make it look authentic
Could you update this roof. How has product held up. I like the look and want metal. Is it worth the cost. Thanks
