Thank you for sharing comments regarding homes in the north!
Great videos! To the point, informative and encourages proper installation techniques! Former building inspector here.
I’m just trying
I’m happy to find this! Our 130 years old steel roof has finally given out. Actually the nailing gave out.
I found individual metal shingles in my neighbors attic where the roof line was changed. Really cool ones, and very old! I was a roofer for many years, didnt know they had these back then.
Good video good communication skills. I've done one metal roof in my lifetime still looks great.
Thanks for all the great informative videos. I'm just a novice but still I learn a lot that I will use in the future.
I've had a metal roof like this since 2009 in the Northeast and it handles hail, trees, ice and snow beautifully. Finish is still amazing, and I get compliments all the time. We used "Interlock" brand, which may be a northeast name for a broadly available product. It looks a lot like the stuff Matt is installing.
I did a metal roof 17 years ago in Las Vegas, a Spanish Tile look, Here’s another Great advantage besides the weight. There’s a coating underneath that dissipates the Heat, and you know how Hot it gets in Vegas. During the summer you can’t touch that clay tile and it holds the Heat. If it’s 110 degrees during the day at 2:00 in the morning it’s still 101, that’s Why you’re running the AC 24/7. I could touch the metal roof without smelling my skin burn. I swear the attic was 35-40 degrees cooler
Another good one Matt . . . Thank you
I've had a similar metal roof that's matte dark grey for 9 years. It still looks new! My house was built in 1904 and some moron nailed through the original slate roof while they were putting on a crappy asphalt roof. We wanted to get back the Victorian look and it is awesome.
THANKS MUCH !! and different Underlayments i have not seen.
Just STILL REALLY NEED A Wood Worker (i can trust) to construct a different Roof Frame over back room.
Nice vid! Very informative. Matt, how many of the details on the build are you involved with during the design process? Like do you pick the rain screens or does the architect?
Great video! As always
To get to the point quickly, if you want a truly long lasting roof just invest in one roof which won't ever rust or decompose, ie. a slate roof. My parents cape cod style house has had a slate roof for 73 years without a leak. The house was built by the builder of all the homes on the street for his daughter's family so everything was top quality. The only problem that rarely occurs is the steel roofing nails rusting through and the piece of slate falls down into the gutter undamaged. You just re-nail it in place. In 73 years no more than a dozen shingles have had to be re-nailed in place. You pay extra up front for slate shingles but then can totally forget about the roof. I've seen slate roofed homes which were demo'd and the slates were carefully removed for re-use on another home. They're quite the win-win choice.
The problem is. American's own a house for an average of 7 years before they move on to something else. Unless you are talking a high end house, likely not a good investment and when the rubber meets the road, will likely not make the house worth much if any more. In Europe and countries like Germany where they have houses that stay in the family for multiple generations. We spoiled American's get tired with things too quickly, throw it aside and move to something different. Sad, but true.
Why are they so expensive to install? A lot of the old houses in Ohio have slate roofs. Surely a lot of those folks were not rich. Was slate just cheap back then and easy to install and then got more expensive over time?
Why are there steel nails slate should be installed using copper nails.
Dennis Fernau Actually Europeans tend to move house almost as frequently. It's just that slate and tile are expected here. Houses don't command a premium because of it, but a house with an alternative roof will certainly be less saleable. The thing about slate and tile, is that they last indefinitely and we prefer the reassurance that we won't have to replace the roof within a few years of moving in.
NOTHING beats a standing seam copper roof. The house will rot away before the copper roof does.
I was looking for metal roofing and had a roofer tell me to not go with metal roofing due to heat expansion and winter cold pulling out fasteners (?) causing leaks that are almost impossible to find. Neighbor across the street with metal roof just 'foamed' over the metal in their back due to leaks (blech)! How does this hold up in the desert southwest temperature swings?
Is there a reason there isn't a 1x2 behind that drip edge to keep water off that fascia?
I hope that was open cell foam sprayed between the rafters since they are using a ice and rain shield barrier on the outside of the envelope.
Matt you should check out Decra too we had one installed 5 or so years ago we absolutely love it, it looks like a shingled roof and I don't think anyone would know either. Down side we were the first in the south to have one so they say, I think if memory serves they do more out towards California, the first installer messed it up and it had some leaks. Decra stepped up and got someone out here and did a beautiful job with no charge to us. I can't remember the wind ratings but I remember it was pretty high compared to normal roofing when I looked it up also has a 50 year warranty, this is all from memory. To date we have been through hail and a few hurricanes with 20in+ of rain in a day with zero problems. I think it was rated to 2" hail with no damage.

Don't think anyone would know? Keep telling yourself that. Doesn't take an experienced eye to notice these stamped metal roofs...
Decra is a great product fixed correctly, however it looks like what it is a pressed metal tile coated with a pretty impressive granite material.
Paul Webb, I think it looks better then shingles frankly.
I like the look of the Decra product, but the installed cost is about 4x that of 30-year asphalt and 3x 50-year asphalt. Personally, I REALLY want to get a way from asphalt on my house, but a $80K roof on a 3000 sf ranch house (45 degree pitch) is just too expensive!
Hey Matt, love the video - could you do a video using edco metal siding and review it?
Most old slate roofs have the progressively less weather exposure. Up the roof from the eaves. Does this product have this? Some colour mottling would also make it look authentic
Great video!
Any thought on the new stone coated metal shake roofing products like the one from Tek?
A couple of thoughts.
1. Is a painted metal shingle still considered a barrier to radiant heat? I understand how galvanized steel will reflect a large portion of radiant heat, but painted steel gets just as hot a asphalt shingles in the sun it seems.
2. I can't see this being more hail resistant than decent asphalt shingles. Hit both with a plastic faced hammer a few times an see which one gets damaged more easily. I'd bet it's the steel. These may be more wind resistant if they bottom edge ties into the row below it though.
Nice roof, good video!!
Matt, can you review the Erie Construction, Metal Shingle Roof? Thanks
I installed roofs for 2 years and I've never seen a metal shingle. You got the most unique stuff on here. I've done metal roofs but they are sheets not shingles.
I'm going 2 years as a pro and helped out on weekends for 5 years have never seen metal shingles installed.
I've heard of them as well as stone coated metal roofs that look like asphalt but haven't used any.
It's just that people don't really go to these products due to their cost.
It's already rare enough to see presidential shingles and they are expensive. GAF Glenwood is already very expensive, Home Depot sells it at around $36 a bundle and it takes 9 bundles a square. That's $324 a square while Owens Corning Duration Storm is only around $120-$140 a Square.
@@bryanmartinez6600 I think it's also being unaware if the product. I was only aware of the sheet metal roofing (which I associate with country styling), but saw this video th-cam.com/video/cAcsEV6B2Qk/w-d-xo.html and am interested. Not sure if I'd be as willing to try this, vice the asphalt shingle.
LOL REALLY?! It's like first day on the job I saw one!
Wish I had found this last year prior to redoing my asphalt shingle roof :(
It's a good looking roof. If the paint is warranted for 30 years, how long will the steel last?
I have one question/observation. Does the steel block cell signals? Cellular carriers don't guarantee connectivity indoors, and it is my experience that I miss more calls than I get. Will this only exacerbate the problem?
If lightining strikes, do i feel a tickle under my britches?
Could you update this roof. How has product held up. I like the look and want metal. Is it worth the cost. Thanks
I'm currently building a terrace and I want to cover it. There is already a roof on the house made of metal plates like yours. How do I connect the new roof to the old one? How do I put the plates under the old ones that are fixed
Have you ever carried out work in the UK?
Will you ever be open to working overseas with your company?
Thanks really liking that look. 👀👍
how loud is the raindrop noise compared to traditional metal roofing?
Love this metal shingle roof
how did it take you to install it or did you hire a roofer
How about Carlisle’s rubber slate tile? Very classic look add in some scalloped detail etc. also can Use their membraned ice and water barrier
How does it compare to asphalt shingles as far as developing leaks over maybe 20 years?
what about the rumor that mades when it's raning? is it going to be loudy af ? or is it something underneath that keeps it sturdy from flexing and trembeling ?
Mr-Bledi .....not too bad. One area of my house is roof directly over living space....2x6 rafters, insulation, plywood, roofing paper, then shingles. Maybe slightly noisier, yet not unpleasant.
Show a vid on installation as to how you stage the roof.
Thanks for sharing. Metal is the way to go. Asphalt shingles are short term disposable junk. There are literally mountains of asphalt waste in every local landfill (I've seen it)
What most people don't know is that metal roofing can be pressure washed, primed and repainted down the road when the paint fades or starts looking faded or chalky.
👍🤔
Matt, have you ever used Decra Steel Roofing?
This is a lovely look, especially for houses made of cracked stone or even cracked concrete block. I'd put this on a commercial building of such block, using a Mansard design.
I have experimented personally with radiant barrier, and glass films, on property I own, to great success in southern California where the sun really bears down. A radiant barrier needs to be shiny, to work, on at least one side, and that's the side that needs an air gap. (A vacuum gap would be even better, but that's impossible.) I doubt this roof will serve that purpose, with its lack of sheen and that mesh beneath; the heat can conduct via the mesh, to the sub-roof, and then radiate into the attic. So that attic might not be such a conditioned space, when it's all done.
I hope there is follow up, with temperature readings ... sans HVAC assist.
Vive le motif de la toiture française.
I put on a metal roof over 20 years ago when living in California. Much lighter roof than the previous cedar shake roof (especially when wet). Because the roof loading is less, it is more effective in preventing earthquake damage on the building structure. A second advantage, a metal roof is far more effective from external fire damage. The only negative aspect is that TV antennas in the attic no longer worked....
Interesting Keith. But now nobody cares about TV antennas anymore. So now with these new designs the appeal is substantial. I wonder how easy it is to keep cool in this house. I had new build home in CA that had beautiful concrete shingle tiles and at about 1pm every night the horrible heat would radiate through the house like an easy bake oven and you would sweat in bed if you didn't have the AC on and I wasn't comfortable having the windows open in CA. It was incredible how hot this roof made the house. I installed a whole house fan to deal with this problem. It was great but whenever you didn't have it running the house would again heat up and bake even though it had next level high rated insulation and had an energy star certification. Another draw back to the wonderful fresh air from the whole house fan is it also brought in dust into the house.
@@orlandotourist4302 That's not entirely true. Lots of people who live outside of urban areas still care very much about TV antenna signals, as they frequently don't have Cable TV in their areas, and also don't have sufficient internet capacity to rely on streaming video services. My parents are one example, and we're still up in the northeast where even "rural" isn't that secluded. I'd imagine the issue only gets worse as you get out into the midwest.
@@c182SkylaneRG Those are what we call poor people.
What about grapefruit-size hail? And how would it hold up with a solar array? And, of course, how would the solar array hold up to grapefruit-size hail?
Can we use this over space truss or frame.
Wonder if this is available in Spain?
How does it work with moss in the northwest
Video idea.
Maybe do a video on solar panels and battery backups. With some common questions and some tips.
Ashish Patel seeing how California its Mandatory all new home building to have solar
That's on a different part of TH-cam
Yes, that was my first thought. How is the solar install on these shingles
What about lightning/lightning strikes? How this roof react to a lightning strike?
I scrolled through but didn't see if it was asked. What about the metal rusting? Esp in northern climates like Pennsylvania (phila) where days can be extremely icy then next day melt then re ice again
If the prices are comparable to Certainteed Matterhorn then in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia you're looking at $450/sq and around $1000 installed. Make sure your roofer has been trained since they are significantly different from asphalt.
In northern climates that get a lot of snow there is a problem with large sheets of snow/ice sliding off the roof all at once. This happened to a neighbor where the ice chunk busted his AC condenser. There are these spikes or blocks that need to be installed around the lower side of the roof to prevent this. Please do a video explaining this.
You can build a cover for the AC condenser to protect it.
Does it cost the same or close to as a solar shingles?
Is a metal roof loud in a rain storm like the old tin roof?
sweet home. I like the roof too. can we see more of the home?
How do I shop for metal shingles? How much cheaper it is compared to a metal roof? Thanks
What do you think of Spidertie roof?
Black? In Austin. I know it might look nice but doesn't it absorb enough heat to be worth design changes?
Take a panel and huck some golf and baseballs at it to simulate hail storm, I'd love to see what happens. Really good looking roof. Thanks
I like ecostar's 100% recycled rubber slate looking shingles!
Would you send me a link to your company's website. Other question, do you charge a fee for consulting and or a quote for a housebuild?
like your video's , honest opinions
What are some easy ways to create air gaps?
Hi Matt, love your videos. Going to be building a new home in Sarasota Florida area. Could you give me some help on finding a great builder. Thanks
How would you install solar on a roof like this?
@1:02 whats the weight again?
Can you do a follow up to show how it is installed?
Evidently not.....LOL
Here's some good info, not enough to be a tutorial. th-cam.com/video/cAcsEV6B2Qk/w-d-xo.html
How has color held up.
How well would this roof work for a rain harvesting system? I'm guessing great with water runoff but I'd like to hear more. Thanks
Should work great, but you might contact the manufacturer about paint composition and if there is any lead at all in the materials.
Does the metal shingle heat up in the sun like asphalt shingles do? Is there a shingle that does not get hot or reflects the heat? I guess the air gap should help, but would love it if the shingles did not get hot.
If it is metal then cause it would heat up dah!
That looks good.
How easy is it to replace a damaged shingle?
What about hurricanes wouldn’t hold up?
Matt what do you think of EDCO verses TAMKO?
Please come to Las Vegas NV and SHOW them how to BUILD houses the RIGHT WAY in dry and VERY HOT climate!!!!!
Can you put this metal shingle over asphalt shingles and plywood deck roof?? Also how was the sound during rain?
With the spray foam and air gap it wouldn't be to loud. And yes you could go over but it's always best to pull the old one to save weight and allows you to check the condition of your plywood or boards dependent
How does this compare to something like a Euroshield rubber roof?
I would like to know which is more resistant to hail.
how is the wind rate and protection, I'm in South Florida and getting ready for a new roof.
I put this on my roof, yrs ago....love them! I think the rating is 120 mph for 8 hrs. One down side is a challenge to add aftermarket gutter covers. Also, last I checked, cost was about 3 times the cost of asphalt shingles. I still highly recommend them.....he fails to mention this is a roofing system, it nearly all locks together.
whats cost comp
Miss the rouge videos...but you failed to tell us if this was steel or aluminum...
Homeowner here. I've installed a metal roof by myself (50 yr warranty) and it took a bit of work (I'm a perfectionist) and it turned out great. Air gap helps keep things cooler. Insulating foam helps. It does take a bit of training, and mine was a different style with more dimension to it. Very walkable on the front edge that bent down to the next level down. Prep is CRITICAL for straight lines. There's no forgiveness and sloppiness here! Valleys take extra work for a tight fit. Some metal bending and cutting needed. Yes it cost extra, but I didn't have to retrofit the house for extra weight. I had cedar shingles before with skip sheathing.
Ju, which manufacturer did you go with for your metal roof?
Cost per ft installed?
It would be nice to see how it's installed
Why don't you inquire with roofers, and let us know?
Step 1: Obtain roof.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
I have an aluminum shingle roof. How do I safely clean algae and dried pollen from it? The installer does not provide a cleaning service.
Put a copper ridge cap on that and you won't have any algae
Lots of choices for roof coverings. They all have good and bad. Pick the one you like and get the best installer you can find. That being said, nothing better than slate for steep slope roofing. The longevity of slate is key to its value in the eyes of homeowners. After all, roofing can be expensive. Slate is one of the few roofing options that doesn't need to be replaced within the span of a lifetime. In most environments, slate shingles will last at least 125 years and sometimes as long as 200 years.
Price per square?
Cost for steel vs asphalt?
I might go with this on a Mansard roof.
Yep. Do it your self.
So cool
I would hope at the cost of this roof it would perform better than a cheap asphalt roof. However there are several asphalt shingles that perform very well in regards to hail. We put a roof on my parents house and it was nearly 5 times the cost to go metal vs asphalt. My dad did it but i won’t. Ps I make high end shingles. Lol
Looks great. I wonder if there is an impact on cellular reception. Not generally the first thing you consider with roofing material selection. However, my in-laws have a heavy, steel “terracotta-look” roof. Cellular reception is heavily impacted in their home. You’d have to step outside to take a call or be near windows to get a better signal. We ended up installing an internal cellular transmitter to address the issue. And more recently with newer technology, we use wifi calling. Guess I’ve answered my own question is some ways.

Kynar is definitely a very durable thermoset polymer but it will degrade over time. What is the mil thickness of Kynar applied? 1, 2, 3 or more? That home is not spitting distance from Chicago 😏. Noise is not something new I want to endure. Kynar degrades. Paint fades. Then what is the surface prep like to repaint? Polyurea?
Its a little unclear which type of shingle and color this is. Could you tell us please? Is it Edco Arrowline Slate Charcoal Gray?
Check out the box. It is the stone color.
Check out Edco metal shakes. Lifetime warranty and transferable. Made in USA
Cool Video
How do I get a hold of your company to do work for me?
I can not find anything comparing metal shake, metal shingle, standing seams and stone coated roofs. manufacturers. My concern is with the differences in valleys, trapping water ezpansion and contraction and how that relate to caulking etc.
nice product but what is the PRICE? best i can find is about 300/square. affordable.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
I just want to know if you would be willing to travel to Memphis Tn to build me a house?
