Metal Roof Lifespan
At Perfection Metal Roofing, Inc., one of the most common questions we hear from homeowners is: “How long does a metal roof last?” The answer is clear—a professionally installed and maintained metal roof can last 40–70+ years, often outlasting two or three shingle roofs.
For families across Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, that means investing once and enjoying decades of protection.
Average Lifespan of Metal Roofs
- Steel & Aluminum Roofing: 40–60 years
- Standing Seam Metal Roofs: 50–70 years
- Copper & Zinc Roofs: 80+ years
By comparison, traditional asphalt shingle roofs last only 15–25 years, making metal a smarter long-term solution.
