Metal Roofing are Built for the Long Haul
While metal roofing may cost a bit more upfront, it lasts two to three times longer than asphalt shingles. But more importantly, for Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington homeowners, metal roofing sheds snow easily without seeping into the structure underneath, and needs almost no maintenance once installed. If you want a roof you’ll never have to think about again, metal is an excellent choice.
Why Homeowners Choose Metal Roofing
Lasts 40-70 years; two to three times longer than asphalt shingles
Sheds snow and ice faster than any other roofing material
Near-zero maintenance once properly installed
Advantages of Metal Roofing
The Long-Term Roofing Choice for Demanding Climates
Metal roofing isn’t just popular for its looks. It’s chosen by homeowners who want a roof that handles real weather, lasts decades, and doesn’t require constant upkeep. And that’s a combination few other materials can match.
Superior Snow Performance
Metal roofs shed snow quickly and efficiently, reducing the weight load on your structure and minimizing ice dam formation. Their smooth surface lets snow slide off before it can accumulate and cause potentially expensive problems.
Exceptional Longevity
A properly installed metal roof can last 40–70 years, meaning most Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington homeowners who choose metal roofing will never need to replace it again. That longevity changes the cost math significantly over the lifetime of a home.
Near-Zero Maintenance
Metal doesn’t crack, curl, weaken, or lose granules over time. It’s resistant to rot, insects, mildew, moss, and other organic buildup. Beyond occasional cleaning and inspection, metal roofs, even in our climate, require very little attention once they are properly installed.
Energy Efficiency
Metal reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it, as asphalt shingles do, reducing summer heat gain and lowering the costs of cooling your home. Many metal roofing products even qualify for energy-efficiency incentives. We’ll walk you through everything.
Class A Fire Rating
Metal is a non-combustible material and carries a Class A fire rating. Class A is the highest fire rating a roofing material can achieve. For homeowners in wildfire-prone areas, metal roofing can provide you with meaningful added protection.
Sustainable and Recyclable
Most metal roofing contains a large percentage of recycled content and is fully recyclable at the end of its life. For homeowners who prioritize sustainability, metal roofing is one of the most environmentally responsible options.
Metal Roofing Types
Metal Roofing Options Available from Remedy Roofworks
We install several types of metal roofing systems, each suited to different homes, budgets, and aesthetic preferences.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam is the gold standard of metal roofing. Panels run vertically from ridge to eave, with raised seams that interlock and conceal all fasteners. Because no exposed fasteners penetrate the panel surface, standing seam systems are exceptionally watertight, weather-resistant, and long-lasting.
They’re the preferred choice for homeowners who want maximum performance and a clean, contemporary look.
40-70 Year Lifespan
Class A Fire Rating
Concealed Fasteners
Excellent Snow Shedding
Multiple Panel Widths
Premium Performance
Corrugated Metal Panels
Corrugated metal panels are a cost-effective and durable option that has been used reliably on residential and agricultural buildings for decades.
Installed with exposed fasteners, they’re simpler and faster to install than standing seam, making them a practical choice for outbuildings, garages, and budget-conscious residential projects where longevity and performance still matter.

Metal Shingles
Metal shingles combine the longevity and performance of metal roofing with a profile that mimics the look of traditional asphalt shingles, wood shake, or slate.
They’re a greatchoice for homeowners who want metal’s durability but prefer a more conventional roofline aesthetic, and they integrate cleanly with the look of most residential homes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing
Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners when they’re considering metal roofing.
Is metal roofing loud when it rains or hails?
When installed over a solid roof deck with proper underlayment, which is standard practice, metal roofing is no louder than asphalt shingles during rain. The solid decking and insulation layers absorb sound effectively. Some homeowners actually find the sound of rain on a metal roof pleasant.
Does metal roofing attract lightning?
No more than any other roofing material. Metal is a conductor, but it doesn’t attract lightning strikes. In fact, because metal is non-combustible, a metal roof is generally considered safer than asphalt or wood if a strike does occur nearby.
How does metal roofing handle snow and ice?
Metal roofing performs exceptionally well in snowy conditions. Its smooth, low-friction surface allows snow to slide off before significant accumulation occurs, reducing structural load and minimizing the conditions that lead to ice dams. Standing seam systems in particular are well-suited to heavy snow environments because of their concealed fasteners and watertight seams.
What’s the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal roofing?
Standing seam panels connect via raised, interlocking seams with no exposed fasteners, making them more watertight, longer-lasting, and better suited to residential applications. Corrugated metal panels use exposed fasteners that go through the panel itself, which is simpler to install and less expensive, but requires periodic inspection of fastener seals over time. Standing seam is the premium system; corrugated is a practical, durable option for outbuildings and budget-conscious projects.
Is metal roofing worth the higher upfront cost?
For many homeowners, yes, especially when viewed over the full life of the roof. While metal costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, it can last two to three times longer, requires far less maintenance, and may improve energy efficiency and home resale value. If you plan to stay in your home long-term, the math often favors metal. We’re happy to walk you through a cost comparison for your specific situation.
