Benefits of Choosing Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofing offers distinct advantages in durability, energy savings, and environmental impact. These features make metal roofs a practical choice for both commercial and residential properties in Laguna Beach.
Durability and Longevity
Metal roofs are highly durable, able to last 50 years or more with proper our roof maintenance service. They resist cracking, shrinking, and eroding better than traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles.
The materials we work with—such as steel, aluminum, and copper—each provide strong protection against physical damage. For example, steel offers excellent impact resistance, while aluminum is corrosion-resistant, especially important in coastal areas like Laguna Beach.
Metal roofing systems also resist insect damage and are less prone to rot. This longevity reduces the need for replacement and lowers long-term costs for building owners and homeowners.
Weather Resistance and Energy Efficiency
Metal roofs perform well under extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. Their interlocking panels create tight seals that prevent leaks more effectively than many other roof types.
Metal reflects solar radiant heat, which can lower cooling costs by up to 25% in warm climates. We recommend light-colored or reflective metal roofing finishes to maximize energy savings during California’s hot summers.
Additionally, metal roofs are fire-resistant, providing enhanced safety for properties near wildfire-prone areas. This combination of durability and energy efficiency protects your investment year-round.
Environmental Sustainability
Metal roofing materials are often made from recycled content and are 100% recyclable at the end of their service life. Choosing metal reduces landfill waste compared to traditional roofing materials.
Because metal roofs can last decades longer than asphalt, they reduce resource consumption through less frequent replacement. Their energy efficiency further decreases overall environmental impact by lowering energy consumption for cooling.
At Laguna Beach Elite Roofing, we prioritize sustainable materials and practices whenever possible. Metal roofing is a responsible choice for those looking to minimize their ecological footprint.

Metal Roof Installation FAQs
How much does metal roof installation cost per square foot?
At Laguna Beach Elite Roofing, metal roof installation typically costs $12-$16 per square foot for aluminum and Galvalume steel systems, $18-$25 for premium standing seam, and $25-$40 for copper and zinc options. An average 2,000 sq.ft. home ranges from $24,000-$32,000 for quality steel systems. Factors affecting price include metal type, panel profile, coating quality, roof complexity, and existing roof removal. Our certified installations of McElroy Metal and ATAS International systems ensure you receive manufacturer warranties alongside our craftsmanship guarantee.
What types of metal roofing systems do you install?
We install standing seam, metal shingle, stone-coated steel tiles, corrugated panels, and metal shake systems. Our most popular coastal installations include Kynar 500 finished aluminum standing seam from Sheffield Metals, stone-coated Gerard steel tiles, Decra shake profiles, and 16oz copper systems for premium properties. Each system is selected for specific performance characteristics, with standing seam dominating coastal installations due to superior wind resistance and minimal penetrations.
How long do metal roofs last in coastal environments?
Properly installed metal roofs in coastal environments last 40-70 years depending on material and coating quality. Aluminum and copper systems excel in salt air conditions, often reaching 50-70 years with minimal maintenance. Steel systems with proper Galvalume or Kynar 500 coatings typically perform for 40-50 years. Our coastal installations include specialized fastener systems from SFS Intec featuring enhanced corrosion resistance and additional protective measures at cut edges and transitions where salt air exposure presents the greatest vulnerability.
What are the benefits of metal roofing for Southern California homes?
Metal roofing offers exceptional benefits for Southern California homes: Class A fire resistance critical during wildfire season, 25-40% cooling cost reduction through reflective coatings, excellent performance during occasional heavy rainstorms, and minimal maintenance requirements. Metal roofs meet California Title 24 energy requirements without additional modifications, qualify for insurance premium discounts, and can support solar panel installation without roof penetrations. Their lightweight nature also provides seismic advantages in our earthquake-prone region.
Is a metal roof worth the investment compared to other roofing materials?
Yes, metal roofing delivers exceptional long-term value despite higher initial costs. While premium metal systems cost 2-3 times more than asphalt shingles upfront, their 40+ year lifespan eliminates 2-3 replacement cycles required with conventional materials. Homeowners typically recoup 85-95% of installation costs through increased resale value according to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value reports. Annual energy savings of $200-$500, potential insurance premium reductions, minimal maintenance expenses, and enhanced storm resistance further justify the investment for quality-focused homeowners.
