The Same Price As Asphalt Shingles

Have you seen our advertisements around town, “Metal Shingle Same Price as Asphalt”?  If so, you might be asking several questions. These questions might take the form of:

“How can it be the same price as Asphalt?” Great question.
Asphalt shingles have 3 different levels: 3-Tab Shingles, Dimensional Shingles, and Premium Shingle.

3-Tab Shingles:  Are the cheapest at around $4-$6 installed per square foot, and they last between 7-13 years on average in Virginia.

Dimensional Shingles: Are a medium range of cost and are between $5.50-$8 per square foot installed.  They last between 7-17 years on average in Virginia.

Premium Shingles:  These are the most expensive at $8-$12 per square foot, and last the longest for a temporary Roof.  The last between 12-20 years.

4Ever Metal Shingle Cost

The 4Ever Metal shingle Cost between $10-$14 per square foot which places it between the cost of the dimensional and premium metal shingles.  Most of the time the price for our 4Ever Metal Shingle will be cheaper than the premium shingles but more than a dimensional shingle.  The differences are listed below, but the main difference is all asphalt shingle roofs are temporary roofs, lasting between 7-20 years on average, whereas our paint alone will last twice that, and then another 60 years after.

40 Year Paint Warranty

Paint systems have come a long way from a paintbrush and bucket.  Old tin roofs would have to be painted as soon as the paint cracked or peeled off, or it would rust the tin right away.  So, the most often question we get asked is:

“How Can Paint have a 40-year warranty?”

The metal is taken through a bath of primer first, then through an oven with a temperature of 700-800 Degrees, then it goes through the paint and through the oven again.  This is done with a 20,000lbs- 40,000lbs master coil. This size coil is large enough to install 15 houses with metal roofs. So, with the SMP Paint system by Akzo Nobel, they offer a 40-year warranty on the paint from cracking or splitting and a 30-year warranty on the fade of up to 7 units.

Don’t forget that we are available at 540-222-1642 if you have any questions about your potential affordable metal shingle installation.

Galvalume Metal Lasts 100 + Years without paint

Tin roofs of the early 1900s and before had to be painted right away or it would start rusting and, in some cases, rust completely through the tin in 2-3 years.  Keep in mind that we still remove tin roofs that are the first roof when the home was built in the early 1900s. So, the question we get the most is:

“How can your Galvalume Metal last over hundreds of years, if tin unpainted only lasts 3 years?”

Galvalume is the answer.  It was created about 50 years ago. They thought it would only last about 50 years, so they went through and did tests on more than 10 roofs that were near 50 years old and they check for the PH levels and how much rust.  They found that on average it will last over 100 years.  The roofs that were over 50 years old without paint, still had 50 years plus left.  Galvalume is made with Zinc and Aluminum, which is run through a process of plating both sides of the metal.  Once that process is complete then they send it to the paint line to have the paint baked on.

Pre-Painted in Most Popular Colors

We have about 14 colors in Matte finishes that the 4Ever Metal Shingle can be made into.

28 Gauge Hardened Metal

The thickness of metal is always a common question.  Tin was created as very thin and moderately durable.  But the 28 Gauge grade 80 is twice as thick and as hard as the old tin roofs installed in the 1900s.  The durability of the 4Ever Metal Shingle with its line and form make it a great metal roof that is permanent

Therma Vent Energy Efficient System Available

The 4Ever Metal Shingle was created for the Therma Vent which is the 1# Under-Roof ventilation system in America by its results alone.  It takes attic temperatures from over 160 degrees down to 103 in the middle of the summer.  This system keeps your attic cooler than any under-roof ventilation system created.  This patented passive system saves the average customer 10%+ on energy bills in the summer months.
