Asphalt vs. Metal Roofing: Which Is Right for Your Home? — Zerman Restoration Blog

April 15, 2025

Both asphalt shingles and metal roofing offer distinct advantages. We break down cost, durability, aesthetics, and long-term value to help you decide.

Both asphalt shingles and metal roofing are popular in the St. Louis market, and the right choice depends on budget, architecture, energy goals, and how long you plan to stay in your home.

Asphalt shingles are cost-effective, widely available in architectural styles, and a strong fit for many residential replacements. Metal roofing typically costs more upfront but can last 40–70 years, resists wind and fire, and often improves energy efficiency.

We install both systems and help homeowners compare warranties, curb appeal, and long-term value. Whether you want classic shingles or standing-seam metal, The Zerman Way means proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation — not shortcuts.
