Most standing seam metal roofs last 50 to 80 years. High-end metals like copper or zinc can approach the 100-year mark when they’re installed correctly and inspected regularly. Scheduling periodic inspections and addressing minor issues early will help the panels perform well in severe weather and reach the upper end of their life span without unexpected repairs.
Standing seam metal roofs cost more to install than many other roofing materials, but they pay off through a long service life, often 50 years or more, and minimal routine maintenance. Their panels resist fire, rot, and pests, and they can reflect heat to help lower cooling bills in hot climates. If you plan to stay in your home for decades or want a roof that needs little attention, the higher up-front price can be worthwhile.
Light shades—such as white, beige, or light gray—reflect more sunlight than darker finishes, which can help keep attic temperatures down and may reduce summer cooling costs. Darker panels absorb heat but can offer a striking contrast on certain home styles. Weigh your climate, neighborhood aesthetic, and energy-efficiency goals when selecting a color, and confirm that your preferred finish is approved by the metal manufacturer for long-term fade resistance.
