How much does metal roof installation cost in Myrtle Beach?

Metal roofing costs $8-16 per square foot installed depending on material and style. Standing seam steel runs $9-12/sq ft. Aluminum standing seam costs $10-14/sq ft. Stone-coated metal shingles range $8-11/sq ft. For a 2,000 sq ft home, expect $16,000-$32,000. While more expensive than asphalt initially, metal roofs last 50-70 years (vs 15-25 for asphalt), require minimal maintenance, and reduce energy costs 20-25%, providing better lifetime value.

Will a metal roof be noisy when it rains?

No! This is the most common metal roofing myth. Modern metal roofs installed over solid roof decking with proper underlayment and attic insulation are actually quieter than asphalt shingles during rain. The solid deck and insulation deaden sound effectively. In blind tests, homeowners often can't distinguish metal from asphalt roofs during rainstorms. Standing seam systems with concealed fasteners are especially quiet.

What type of metal roofing is best for coastal areas?

For Myrtle Beach salt-air environments, aluminum standing seam is ideal as aluminum naturally resists corrosion and never rusts. Alternatively, steel with Kynar 500 coating provides excellent protection and costs less. Avoid galvanized steel without premium coatings near the coast. We recommend 24-26 gauge steel or .032-.040 aluminum thickness. Stone-coated steel with acrylic coating also performs well. All fasteners and flashing must be corrosion-resistant stainless steel or color-matched aluminum.

Can metal roofs withstand hurricanes in South Carolina?

Absolutely! Metal roofing is one of the most hurricane-resistant systems available. Properly installed metal roofs withstand sustained winds of 140-180 mph depending on the system. Standing seam with concealed fasteners and mechanical seams offers superior wind resistance. Metal also resists impact from flying debris better than most materials. Many metal systems are Miami-Dade County approved for high-velocity hurricane zones. Insurance companies often provide discounts for metal roofing due to superior storm performance.

How long do metal roofs last in Myrtle Beach?

Metal roofs last 50-70+ years in coastal South Carolina with minimal maintenance. Aluminum lasts longest (70+ years) due to natural corrosion resistance. Steel with quality Kynar 500 coating lasts 50-60 years. Copper and zinc can exceed 100 years. This is 3-4 times longer than asphalt shingles (15-25 years coastally). The finish warranty typically covers 30-40 years, while the metal substrate is warranted for 50+ years. Metal roofing often outlasts the building itself.

Do metal roofs help reduce energy costs?

Yes significantly! Metal roofs with reflective coatings reduce cooling costs by 20-25%. They reflect 70% of solar radiation (vs 5-15% for asphalt), keeping attics 30-50°F cooler. This reduced heat transfer means AC runs less frequently. ENERGY STAR certified metal roofs qualify for federal tax credits and utility rebates. In Myrtle Beach's hot climate, metal roofing typically pays for itself through energy savings within 15-20 years, making it cost-effective long-term.

What's the difference between standing seam and metal shingles?

Standing seam features vertical panels with concealed fasteners and raised seams, offering sleek modern appearance, superior water-tightness, and longest lifespan. Best for lower-slope roofs and commercial buildings. Metal shingles mimic traditional roofing (slate, shake, tile) with exposed fastening, easier installation, lower cost, and work on any roof pitch. Both provide excellent durability and hurricane resistance. Standing seam costs more but offers ultimate performance. Metal shingles provide metal benefits with traditional aesthetics at lower price.

Does metal roofing increase home value?

Yes! Metal roofing increases home resale value by 1-6% depending on the market and home type. Coastal homes particularly benefit as buyers value storm resistance and low maintenance. Metal roofs transfer remaining warranty to new owners, making homes more attractive. Energy efficiency, insurance discounts, and minimal maintenance requirements are strong selling points. High-end metal systems (standing seam, copper) in luxury markets provide highest ROI. Metal roofing is increasingly seen as a premium upgrade rather than alternative.
