Asphalt Shingle Roof vs. Standing Seam Metal Roof: Before & After

Before: Three-Tab Asphalt Shingle Roof
This home originally had a traditional three-tab asphalt shingle roof, one of the most common roofing systems in residential construction. While affordable, three-tab shingles typically last 15–20 years and are more vulnerable to hail, wind damage, moisture intrusion, and temperature fluctuations. Over time, this can lead to higher maintenance costs and the need for earlier replacement.

After: Standing Seam Metal Roofing System
The home was upgraded with a standing seam metal roof, one of the most durable and energy-efficient roofing options available today. Standing seam metal roofing features concealed fasteners and raised seams, which significantly reduce the risk of leaks and wind uplift.

This new metal roof provides:

• 40–50+ year lifespan
• Superior protection against wind, snow, ice, and heavy rain
• Lower long-term ownership costs
• Improved energy efficiency through solar heat reflection
• Minimal maintenance requirements

The clean, modern profile of the standing seam panels dramatically enhanced the home’s curb appeal while delivering long-lasting performance and peace of mind.

Why Choose Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

Standing seam metal roofing is ideal for homeowners looking for a long-term roofing solution. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal roofs do not crack, curl, or lose granules over time. They are especially well-suited for climates with extreme weather, making them a smart investment for homeowners who want durability without compromise.
