5 Reasons a Metal Roof Pays for Itself

Why More Sheboygan Homeowners Are Choosing Metal Roofing for Long-Term Value

If you're considering a new roof for your home, there's one option that stands out for its unmatched durability, performance, and long-term value—a professionally installed metal roof.


At Moore Quality Exteriors, we specialize in high-performance metal roofing systems built for Wisconsin's harsh weather. Unlike asphalt shingles that wear out after 15–20 years, a metal roof can last 50+ years—and it does a lot more than just protect your home.

Here are five solid reasons why a metal roof practically pays for itself over time.


Energy Savings That Cut Monthly Costs

Metal roofs reflect solar heat instead of absorbing it like dark shingles. That means your attic stays cooler in summer, reducing the strain on your air conditioning.

Homeowners in Sheboygan typically see energy savings of 10–25% on cooling costs after switching to metal—especially those with south-facing roofs or poorly ventilated attics.

Lower Homeowners Insurance Premiums

Because metal roofs are fire-resistant, wind-rated, and hail-durable, many insurers offer discounts—sometimes up to 35% off your premium depending on your policy and location.

This isn’t just theory. Several Moore Quality Exteriors customers in the Sheboygan area have seen real reductions in their annual insurance bills after upgrading.

Tip: Before installation, check with your provider to learn how much you could save.


Virtually Zero Maintenance

Tired of paying for shingle patching, moss removal, or storm repairs? A metal roof requires almost no upkeep. It resists cracking, curling, and mold growth, and it sheds snow and debris more effectively than any other roofing material.

That means fewer out-of-pocket repair costs—and fewer headaches—for you.


Increased Resale Value

Buyers in today’s market are looking for durability, energy efficiency, and long-term peace of mind. A metal roof delivers on all three.

According to national remodeling data, metal roofing can increase home resale value by up to 6% and helps properties sell faster—especially in weather-prone areas like Sheboygan where buyers know the value of a tough roof.

It’s a smart investment that boosts curb appeal and buyer confidence.


A Lifespan That Outlasts Everything Else

While a standard asphalt roof lasts 15–20 years (maybe 25 with perfect conditions), a metal roof from Moore Quality Exteriors is built to last 50 years or more. Many systems come with warranties that extend decades beyond what you’d get with shingles.

Think about that: one metal roof = two or even three asphalt roofs. That’s thousands saved in tear-offs, re-roofing, and labor over the life of your home.


Make the Switch. Invest in the Future.

When you factor in the energy savings, insurance discounts, maintenance elimination, resale value, and lifespan, it’s clear—a metal roof isn’t just a roof. It’s a financial asset.
