Why homeowners in Shiloh choose metal
- Longevity: a quality metal roof can last 40 to 70 years.
- Storm resilience: stands up to high winds and sheds debris.
- Energy efficiency: reflects heat and can lower cooling costs.
- Low maintenance: no granule loss like asphalt shingles.
Standing seam and metal options
We install standing seam and other metal systems suited to your home's look and budget, and we can compare them side by side with an asphalt shingle replacement so you can decide with real numbers.
Standing seam versus exposed-fastener panels
Standing seam hides its fasteners under raised seams, so there are no screw holes exposed to the weather. It costs more and is the long-life option for homes. Exposed-fastener panels (often called R-panel or 5V) are screwed through the face of the panel. They cost less and suit barns, shops and some homes, but the screw washers need checking and eventually replacing.
Is metal right for your Shiloh home?
- Good fit if you plan to stay a long time, want lower long-term maintenance, or have a simple roof shape.
- Think twice if you may sell soon and need the lowest upfront price, or the roof has lots of valleys and dormers.
- Noise is rarely a problem over solid decking and underlayment, which is how we install it.

Common questions
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. Metal does not make a strike more likely, and if lightning does hit, metal is not combustible.
Can metal go over my existing shingles?
Sometimes, depending on local code and the condition of the roof underneath. We usually recommend tearing off so the decking can be checked.
Will hail dent a metal roof in Shiloh?
Large hail can dent metal, though it usually does not cause leaks the way it can with shingles. Thicker panels and textured finishes hide dents better, and we can walk you through the options.
Have tornadoes come through Shiloh?
Yes. NOAA records an EF1 tornado that touched down just southwest of Shiloh on Oct. 14, 2014, and an EF2 tornado that ended about two miles east-northeast of Shiloh on Nov. 16, 2011. A home in the 2014 path lost part of its roof.
