When it comes to looking for what roof is going to be best for you, then you have to consider a few competitive areas between the two types of roofs. From having to remove debris to colors and options available, the two are competitors for a reason: they have a lot of pros and cons!

When you look at durability and longevity, metal roofs are going to win every time. They are not exactly lightweight like shingles, but what they lack in lightness they make up for in the other two categories. Shingles on the other hand are going to last a shorter period of time and are nowhere near as durable as metal.

So far, it looks like you’re going to need some metal roofers to take care of installing that new roof! More and more people are going to metal because it is also eco-friendly and totally recyclable whereas shingles are not. The downside of a metal roof is the cost.
