Q: Are tin roofs cheaper than shingles?

While tin roofs have higher installation costs due to specialized labor, they offer long-term cost benefits compared to shingle roofs. Tin roofs are more durable and require less maintenance, leading to savings over time. Although asphalt shingles have lower upfront costs, tin roofs' longevity can lower the total cost of ownership, making them a smart long-term investment.

Q: How long does a tin roof last?

Tin roofs can last up to 70 years when professionally installed, greatly adding to their appeal for many homeowners. With excellent maintenance and favorable conditions, their lifespan can exceed 100 years in some cases. Factors like weather exposure, installation quality, and regular upkeep significantly impact a tin roof's longevity. Regular inspections by a professional can identify and address minor issues to prolong a tin roof’s usable lifespan.

"I had originally called as I had some storm damage and needed them to look at a couple shingles. When they came out, they assured me they didn't need to go up onto the roof at all and told me I had some nail pops and the obvious shingles that were missing. I was quoted for the work (just under $1000) and had to put $500 as a deposit. fast forward to the day they came out. Not only did they bring a shingle not even close but when the project manager was up on the roof told me that I had way more going on up on the roof and they highly recommend replacing the whole roof due to water damage and condition of shingles. At this point I did my due diligence and shopped around after getting the quote for a full roof replacement. I got quotes from 4 other companies who all came up quite a bit lower (material costs across the board were lower), and the icing on the cake was the fact that EVERY SINGLE ONE asked me the question why didn't the first company go up on the roof at first as they all agreed I needed to replace it. So, if Cochran would have just went on the roof in the first place I wouldn't have had to even put the original deposit in which they didn't even fix issues as it needed replaced and so I paid essentially $500 for them to caulk a couple place and not just go on the roof THE FIRST TIME and find the issue up front... I called to let them know I was going with another company who was a much lower quote for the exact same work, and they didn't even offer a refund (ethical thing to do since they didn't even go on roof at first) and even admitted that they should have just gone on the roof the first time when I asked them to! If you are looking for a quote from this company, all I have to say is just avoid or be careful."

"Other companies would not call me back because I was not replacing the entire roof. They explained why one side of the bump out had rotted. I was happy with the price quoted for replacing the shingles with a metal that matched the color copper penny roof on out barn. This was a small job but they treated us with respect.
