Metal Roof Installation
Metal Roof Installation You Can Count On
A metal roof is one of the smartest long-term investments you can make in your home. It sheds snow and ice, stands up to high winds, reflects summer heat, and can last two to three times longer than a traditional asphalt shingle roof. For Central PA homeowners who plan to stay put, that means fewer repairs, no reroofing every couple of decades, and a clean, modern look that adds curb appeal.
As part of our roof replacement services, Elite Custom Roofing installs complete metal roofing systems with the underlayment, flashing, trim, and ventilation details that make them perform. We’ll help you compare panel styles, colors, and cost against architectural shingles during a free, no-pressure consultation, and our financing options make an upgrade to metal more affordable.

Corrugated & Exposed-Fastener Panels
Durable, cost-effective metal panels that handle Central PA weather well. A great fit for porches, garages, outbuildings, and budget-conscious projects.

Benefits
The Benefits of a Metal Roof
Why more Central PA homeowners are choosing metal for their next roof.
Exceptional Longevity
Metal roofs can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, two to three times longer than asphalt shingles.
Sheds Snow & Ice
Smooth metal panels shed snow and help reduce the ice dams that damage shingle roofs during Central PA winters.
Wind & Storm Resistance
Interlocking panels and secure fastening systems stand up to the high winds and heavy rain of summer storms.
Energy Efficient
Metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it, helping keep your home cooler and reducing summer energy use.
Fire Resistant
Metal is noncombustible, so embers that land on your roof won’t ignite it, adding peace of mind.
Eco-Friendly & Low Maintenance
Made with recycled content, fully recyclable at the end of its life, and needs very little maintenance.
Compare Your Options
Metal Roof vs. Asphalt Shingles
Both are excellent choices. The right one depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay, and the look you want.
Metal Roofing
- Can last 50+ years with proper care
- Sheds snow and ice easily
- Very low maintenance
- Reflects heat for summer energy savings
- Higher upfront investment, strong long-term value
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
- Typically lasts 20 to 30 years
- Lower upfront cost
- Dozens of colors and profiles
- Easy to repair and match
- The most popular roof in Central PA
Our take: if you plan to stay in your home for many years and want the lowest long-term maintenance, metal is hard to beat. If upfront cost matters most, architectural shingles deliver excellent value. We’ll price both for you.

Questions & Answers
Metal Roofing FAQs
How long does a metal roof last?
A professionally installed metal roof can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, which is two to three times longer than a typical asphalt shingle roof. Individual panels can also be repaired or replaced if they’re ever damaged, without replacing the entire roof.
Does a metal roof cost more than shingles?
Yes, metal roofing has a higher upfront cost than architectural asphalt shingles. Because it lasts much longer and needs very little maintenance, many homeowners find it costs less over the life of the roof. We provide free written estimates so you can compare both options.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Not when it’s installed correctly. A metal roof installed over a solid roof deck with quality underlayment is typically no louder than an asphalt shingle roof inside your home.
Are metal roofs good for Central PA winters?
Yes. Metal roofs shed snow and ice much more easily than shingles, which helps reduce ice dams and the damage they cause. We can also recommend snow guards above entryways and walkways to control how snow slides off the roof.
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. This is a common myth. A metal roof does not make your home more likely to be struck by lightning, and because metal is noncombustible, it won’t catch fire if lightning does strike nearby.
