If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Dorchester Center 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.
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer coating is the gold standard. It resists fading, chalking, and color shift for 40+ years. Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal are our primary suppliers, both with proven track records.
