Why is metal and steel roofing growing in the St.. Louis market?  The answer is easy--metal roofing outlasts asphalt shingle roofing every time.  If adequate research is completed by any consumer shopping for a new roof from a cost, aesthetic and efficiency standpoint, the smart purchase always leads to steel or metal roofing.

Take a quick view of the cost comparison between asphalt and stone coated steel roofing.  In the St. Louis market on a walkable pitch roof the cost of an asphalt shingle (25-30 year) install should be in the $225 to $300 cost per square (100 square feet).  An asphalt shingle roof without adequate ventilation might last 20 years.  Over a 40 year term the cost will be more than doubled due to inflation.  A stone coated steel roof Decra roof can be installed for about $500 per square.  50 years of stone coated steel makes purchasing an asphalt roof seem ridiculous.

Take a moment to visit our metal roofing page RG Metal.  Set up an appointment with a project manager and research our stone coated steel line from Decra.  Save yourself time and money!  Still not convinced?  Check out our website for low and steep slope optionsRG Roofing & Exteriors
