Metal Roofing in South Lowell: what actually fails

On South Lowell houses built in more than one phase, metal is often best on a single section first: a porch, an addition or a garage. The seam where it meets the shingled main roof is detailed as carefully as the panels.

Built in phases between 1826 and 1906 as working-class residential streets, including the tightly knit late-1800s homes around Sacred Heart Church.

  • Close-set neighbors and where to set a ladder
  • Seams where additions meet the original roof
  • Flat sections tied into pitched ones
  • Two eras of roof on one house

What Metal Roofing in South Lowell costs

Junctions set the price. Houses built in more than one phase carry seams where additions meet the original roof, and those seams are priced as their own detail.

Note 01How long does a metal roof last compared with shingles?

Metal roofing is generally rated at 40 to 70 years and asphalt shingles at 15 to 30. The fasteners, seams and flashings decide whether a metal roof reaches its rating, which is why they are checked on every visit.

Note 02What 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 03How much does it cost to put a metal roof on a 2,000 sq ft house?

Nationally, metal runs about $4 to $30 a square foot, and for an average-sized Lowell home of about 1,387 square feet it is estimated at $19,350 to $47,643. A 2,000-square-foot house will usually sit higher, but roof area, pitch and valleys decide it, not floor area.
