METAL ROOFING · CHARLOTTE, NC & ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA
Metal Roofing in Charlotte, NC — Built to Last 40 to 70 Years
A standing-seam metal roof is one of the smartest long-term investments a North Carolina homeowner can make: it sheds hail and heat, resists our humidity, cuts cooling costs, and can outlast two or three asphalt roofs. 365 Roofs installs durable, great-looking metal roof systems across Charlotte and all of North Carolina.
Why Metal in North Carolina
Metal Roofing Is Made for Carolina Weather
North Carolina throws a lot at a roof — blistering Piedmont summers, sticky humidity, spring hailstorms, and the occasional tropical system pushing inland. That combination is exactly where metal roofing shines. A quality standing-seam metal roof reflects solar heat instead of soaking it up, resists the algae and rot that humidity encourages, and stands up to hail and wind far better than aging asphalt. It’s no surprise metal is one of the fastest-growing choices across the state, from Charlotte suburbs to the mountain communities around Asheville and Hickory.
The headline benefit is lifespan. Where a typical architectural asphalt roof lasts 15 to 25 years here, a properly installed metal roof commonly lasts 40 to 70 years. For homeowners who plan to stay put, that can mean installing one metal roof instead of replacing an asphalt roof two or three times — a compelling long-term value even though the up-front cost is higher.
The Benefits
Why Homeowners Choose a Metal Roof
Exceptional Lifespan
40–70 years of service life — often the last roof you’ll ever need to buy for your home.
Storm & Hail Resistant
Metal sheds hail and resists the wind uplift that tears at asphalt shingles during Carolina storms.
Energy Efficient
Reflective finishes bounce back solar heat, which can help lower summer cooling bills in our hot climate.
Low Maintenance
No granules to lose and nothing to rot — a metal roof asks very little of you year to year.
Sustainable
Metal roofing is typically made with recycled content and is fully recyclable at the end of its long life.
Clean, Modern Look
Crisp standing-seam lines and a wide range of colors add curb appeal and can boost resale value.
Metal vs. Shingles
Standing-Seam Metal or Asphalt Shingles?
It comes down to how long you plan to stay and what you value. Asphalt shingles cost less up front, come in many styles, and are the most common NC choice — a great fit if budget is the priority or you may move in the next several years.
Standing-seam metal costs more initially but lasts two to three times as long, resists storms better, and can trim energy bills — the stronger value if you’re staying in your home for the long haul. Weighing a full roof replacement? We’ll price both options and give you an honest recommendation for your home and budget.

Cost & Financing
What Does a Metal Roof Cost?
A metal roof costs more up front than asphalt — that’s the honest tradeoff for its decades of extra service life and lower long-term cost of ownership. Your exact price depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the metal system and finish you choose, and the details of your home. Because the up-front number is larger, we offer financing so a metal roof can fit a monthly budget rather than requiring one large payment.
The best way to know your number is a free, measured inspection. And if a recent storm damaged your existing roof, replacing it with metal may be partly covered by insurance — see our insurance claim help and storm damage pages.

Metal Roofing FAQ
Metal Roof Questions, Answered
How long does a metal roof last in North Carolina?
A properly installed standing-seam metal roof typically lasts 40 to 70 years in our climate — often two to three times the life of an asphalt roof. For many homeowners, it’s the last roof they’ll ever need to install.
Is a metal roof worth the higher cost?
If you plan to stay in your home for the long term, usually yes. Metal costs more up front but lasts far longer, resists storms, and can lower cooling bills — so the lifetime cost often compares favorably to replacing asphalt two or three times. We’ll price both so you can decide.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
Not the way people imagine. A modern metal roof installed over solid decking with proper underlayment is comparable to other roofing materials for interior sound — it’s nothing like a bare metal barn roof.
Does metal roofing hold up to hail?
Metal handles hail and wind very well — it sheds impact rather than losing granules the way asphalt does. Large hail can leave cosmetic dents on some panels, but metal’s overall storm resistance is a big reason NC homeowners choose it. See our storm & hail damage page.
Do you offer financing for metal roofs?
Yes. Because metal has a higher up-front cost, financing is a popular way to spread it into manageable monthly payments. Ask us about current options when we provide your estimate, or visit our financing page.
