Metal Roofing FAQs
Your Metal Roofing Questions Answered
- What are the benefits of metal roofing?
Metal roofing is highly durable, fire resistant, and can last up to 50 years or more with proper maintenance. It is also lightweight and reflects solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs.
- Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not significantly noisier than other types of roofs when properly installed, and the insulation and solid sheathing used during installation help absorb sound.
- Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No, metal roofing does not increase the chance of a lightning strike. Metal is a non-combustible material and can dissipate the electrical charge, reducing the risk of fire.
- Can a metal roof be installed over my existing roof?
Yes, in many cases, metal roofing can be installed over existing roofing materials without removing the current roof, as long as local building codes and the condition of the existing roof allow it.
- How does the cost of metal roofing compare to other materials?
While the initial cost of metal roofing may be higher than other materials, its long lifespan and low maintenance needs can make it a more cost-effective option over time, especially when factoring in energy savings and potential insurance discounts.
- Is there a warranty on metal roofing installations by Griffin Roofing?
Yes, Griffin Roofing offers a 10-Year Leak-Free Workmanship Warranty on all metal roofing installations to ensure peace of mind, along with additional product warranties supported by our certifications as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and GAF Master Commercial Contractor.

After getting a bunch of estimates and doing my research, I went with Griffin Roofing, and I’m really glad I did. Patrick was involved from start to finish, and what stood out most was how personal and clear he was every step of the way. It was a big job — over 5,000 sq. ft. of roofing, plus some areas of roof decking that needed replacement — and he made it all feel simple and manageable. When we went through materials like shingles, membrane, drip edge, and flashing, he didn’t just tell me what to use. He explained why he recommended each product and what made it the right fit for my roof. That kind of clarity and attention to detail really built my confidence in the process. Pricing-wise, Griffin’s quote was right in line with the other estimates I got, maybe even a little lower than some. I’d call it solidly mid-range pricing with top-tier workmanship and service. His crew was professional, respectful, and clearly knew their stuff. When questions or small changes came up, Patrick was responsive and easy to work with. If you want someone who knows their craft, communicates clearly, and actually cares that the job’s done right, Griffin Roofing is an easy recommendation.
Patrick has installed new roofs on two of my homes, both in-town, historic home renovations in the last 8 years. If my wife makes me move a third time, I'll call him again. Just an all pro, from the consult, to the day of, to the follow up. Patrick's team is skilled, thoughtful, and they work neat. In fact, I believe they spent just as much time cleaning during and after, as they did actually installing the shingles (for anyone who has not replaced a roof, cleanup is just critical). Please accept this as an emphatic recommendation for Griffin Roofing.
