Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a metal roof cost in Myrtle Beach?
Metal roof costs in Myrtle Beach range from $8-$25 per square foot installed, or $12,000-$45,000 for a typical 1,500-2,000 sq ft roof. Standing seam costs $14-$25/sq ft, corrugated metal $8-$14/sq ft, and metal shingles $10-$18/sq ft. Coastal location and hurricane-rated installation may add 10-15% to base costs.
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost over asphalt shingles?
Yes, for most homeowners in coastal South Carolina. Metal roofs last 40-70 years (vs 15-25 for asphalt), reduce energy bills by 25-40%, qualify for insurance discounts up to 35%, and withstand hurricane-force winds up to 150 mph. The higher upfront cost is typically recovered within 15-20 years through energy savings and avoided replacements.
What type of metal roof is best for coastal areas?
Aluminum standing seam is ideal for beachfront properties due to complete corrosion resistance. For homes within 1-2 miles of the ocean, Galvalume-coated steel with a high-quality paint system works well at lower cost. We recommend avoiding bare steel or copper near saltwater without proper coatings.
Does a metal roof qualify for insurance discounts in South Carolina?
Yes! Most insurers offer 5-35% discounts for metal roofing in hurricane zones. Standing seam systems with proper installation may qualify for maximum discounts. Contact your insurance provider for specific credits available with your policy. We provide documentation for insurance purposes.
How long does metal roof installation take?
A typical residential metal roof installation takes 2-5 days depending on size, complexity, and weather. Standing seam systems take slightly longer than metal shingles due to panel fabrication. We schedule installations during favorable weather windows to ensure quality.
