Beyond the Storm: Why Metal Roofing Outperforms in Severe Weather

Every year, Wisconsin homeowners face the same challenge — unpredictable weather that tests the limits of a roof. Between lake-effect snow, summer hailstorms, and high winds off Lake Michigan, your roof has to do more than look good — it has to stand strong when it matters most.

At Moore Quality Exteriors, we believe durability and design should go hand-in-hand. That’s why more homeowners in Sheboygan and eastern Wisconsin are choosing metal roofing systems built to outperform and outlast traditional materials. Here’s why metal roofing is the clear choice when the storms roll through.

Superior Strength Against Wind, Hail, and Snow

Metal roofing is engineered for performance. High-quality steel and aluminum panels interlock to form a continuous weather-tight barrier that resists lifting, cracking, and leaking.

• Wind resistance: Properly installed metal roofs can withstand gusts over 140 mph — crucial for Wisconsin’s spring and summer storm seasons.
• Hail resistance: Metal roofing is rated Class 4 (the highest impact resistance available), meaning it can take a beating without losing its integrity.
• Snow shedding: Smooth surfaces and reflective coatings prevent snow buildup, reducing weight stress and ice damming on your home.

In short — when asphalt shingles start to curl and crack, metal roofing stays firm.

Long-Term Durability and Cost Efficiency

While traditional roofs may need replacement every 15–20 years, a metal roof can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. That longevity makes it one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make.

It’s also fire-resistant, rot-proof, and energy-efficient — reflecting sunlight in summer and locking in warmth in winter. For Sheboygan homeowners looking to lower energy bills while boosting resale value, metal delivers long-term performance that pays for itself.

Designed for Beauty, Not Just Brawn

Gone are the days when metal roofing meant industrial gray panels. Today’s systems come in a range of profiles, textures, and colors — from classic standing seam to stone-coated designs that mimic shake, tile, or slate.

This flexibility allows homeowners to match Sheboygan’s architectural styles, from lakefront cottages to modern farmhouses, all while benefiting from modern protection.

Sustainability That Works Beyond the Storm

Metal roofing is one of the most sustainable options on the market. It’s made from recycled materials, fully recyclable at end-of-life, and contributes to LEED-certified home performance.

And because it lasts decades longer than shingles, it reduces waste in landfills — helping Wisconsin homeowners protect both their homes and the environment.

Professional Installation Makes the Difference

A metal roof is only as good as its installation. At Moore Quality Exteriors, our certified crews ensure each panel is secured, sealed, and vented to manufacturer standards. We don’t cut corners — because the goal isn’t just to survive the next storm, it’s to outlast every storm to come.
