01The Highlands

Metal Roofing in the Highlands, Lowell: what actually fails

In the Highlands metal suits the plainer roofs of the mid-century homes far better than the steep, many-valleyed roofs of the Victorians. Where an older house still has slate, the conversation is about repairing the stone first.

Southwest Lowell, built from 1826 and expanded from 1874, with the Lower Highlands at its edge.

  • Steep valleys and dormer cheeks
  • Slate, where it survives, repaired not patched
  • Porch roofs against steep walls
  • Ladder footing on steep pitches

What Metal Roofing in the Highlands, Lowell costs

Era sets the price. A Victorian with dormers and steep valleys and a mid-century house with a plain gable can sit side by side and be quoted far apart.

Note 01Do you repair metal roofs?

Yes. A loose panel, failed fastener seals or a leaking flashing at a chimney or wall is a repair, priced on its own like any other small job.

Note 02Why don't more people use metal roofs?

Mostly the up-front price: about $4 to $30 a square foot nationally, against $1 to $4 for asphalt shingle. Metal is rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30, so it makes most sense for an owner who plans to stay long enough to see the difference.

Note 03What is the downside to a metal roof?

Cost up front: on an average-sized Lowell home metal is estimated at $19,350 to $47,643 against $11,287 to $27,792 for architectural shingle. Snow also slides off metal in one go, so where it lands matters, and every valley and wall junction is custom flashing.
