What Metal Roofing in Lowell, MA costs

One permit office for the whole city, Development Services at City Hall, so the paperwork is the same everywhere. What moves the number between neighborhoods is the size of the problem, the roof shape and how hard the roof is to reach.

Note 01What 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.

Note 02Is it cheaper to put a metal roof on or asphalt shingles?

Asphalt shingles, up front: about $1 to $4 a square foot against $4 to $30 for metal, nationally. Metal is rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30, so over a long ownership the gap narrows.

Note 03Do metal roofs prevent ice dam damage?

Metal sheds snow more readily than shingle, which helps, but an ice dam is caused by heat from the house melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. The eaves detail, the insulation and the ventilation still decide whether water gets in.
