Metal Roofing
Durable standing seam and metal panel roofing systems built to last 50+ years with minimal maintenance.
About Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has become one of the fastest-growing segments in residential roofing, and for good reason: it lasts two to three times longer than asphalt shingles, withstands extreme weather, and delivers significant energy savings. Edison Roofing Contractor installs premium metal roofing systems throughout Middlesex County, offering homeowners a roofing solution that can be the last one they ever need. Standing seam metal roofing is the gold standard for residential metal roofs, featuring raised interlocking seams that eliminate exposed fasteners and create a sleek, modern appearance. The concealed fastener design prevents water penetration at attachment points, which is the most common failure point on exposed fastener metal roofs. We also install metal shingle systems that replicate the appearance of traditional shingles, slate, or tile while delivering all the performance benefits of metal. Metal roofs excel in the New Jersey climate, shedding snow efficiently, resisting wind speeds up to 140 miles per hour, and reflecting solar heat to reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent. They carry Class A fire ratings, are completely resistant to rot and insect damage, and require virtually no maintenance beyond occasional debris removal. Our installation process accounts for thermal expansion and contraction, proper underlayment selection for metal substrates, and the specialized flashing techniques that metal roof longevity depends on. When you invest in a metal roof from Edison Roofing Contractor, you are investing in a roofing system that will protect your home for half a century or more.

Metal Roofing FAQ
Is a metal roof noisy during rain?
This is one of the most common misconceptions about metal roofing. When installed over a solid roof deck with proper underlayment, a modern residential metal roof is no louder during rain than an asphalt shingle roof. The plywood or OSB decking, underlayment layer, and your attic insulation all absorb sound before it reaches your living space. The old perception of noisy metal roofs comes from agricultural and industrial buildings where metal panels are installed directly over open framing with no sound-dampening layers. Your home has multiple layers of sound insulation between the metal surface and your interior. Contact Edison Roofing Contractor to visit one of our completed metal roof projects during a rainstorm and hear for yourself.
How much more does a metal roof cost compared to asphalt shingles?
A standing seam metal roof typically costs two to three times more than an architectural asphalt shingle roof upfront. However, the cost calculation changes dramatically when you factor in longevity. An asphalt roof lasts 25 to 30 years, meaning you will replace it at least once over a 50-year period. A metal roof lasts 50 years or more with virtually no maintenance, making its total cost of ownership comparable to or lower than asphalt when measured over the life of your home. Add in energy savings from solar reflectivity and potential insurance premium reductions, and metal roofing is often the more economical choice long-term. Edison Roofing Contractor provides detailed cost comparisons so you can make the decision that fits your situation.
Can you install a metal roof over existing shingles?
While it is technically possible to install certain metal roofing products over an existing shingle layer, we generally recommend a complete tear-off for the best results. Removing the old roof allows us to inspect the deck for damage, install proper underlayment, and ensure the metal panels sit on a flat, uniform surface that prevents oil-canning and ensures optimal performance. Installing over existing shingles can trap moisture, hide deck damage, and create an uneven surface that affects the appearance and performance of your metal roof. The modest savings from skipping tear-off are rarely worth the compromises. Contact Edison Roofing Contractor for a free consultation to discuss the best approach for your specific situation.
