Metal Shake FAQ

How Do You Install Metal Shake Roofing?

At Alcor, our professional team installs metal shake roofing using a meticulous process that ensures longevity and durability. First, our professionals evaluate your property to determine the specific needs and adjustments required. Next, quality underlayment is laid, which serves as an added protective layer against water and ice. After this, the metal shake panels are installed, starting from the bottom and working up towards the ridge. Each panel is secured to the roof decking and interlocked with neighboring panels to provide a complete barrier against the elements. Lastly, we install the ridge cap, covering the roof's peak for further protection. Alcor always follows industry standards and ArrowLine’s manufacturer guidelines.

How Much Longer Will A Metal Shake Roof Last Compared to Other Common Roofing Materials?

Compared to standard roofing materials like asphalt shingles, typically lasting 20 to 25 years, a properly installed metal shake roof from Alcor can last 40 to 70 years—essentially, 2 to 3 times longer. This remarkable difference in longevity is because metal roofing materials are extraordinarily resistant to weathering, decay, discoloration, and other forms of damage that typically affect different roofing types.

Does A Metal Roof Cost More Than Other Roofing Materials?

While it's true that the initial cost of a metal roof can be higher than some other roofing materials, it's crucial to consider it as a long-term investment for your property. Over its lifetime, a metal roof from Alcor can end up costing less than other materials due to its superior durability and low maintenance needs. When you consider the cost of replacing an asphalt roof multiple times over the lifetime of a metal roof, the cost comparison can look quite different. Furthermore, a metal roof can increase the resale value of your property, providing a greater return on your investment.
