Higher upfront cost, lifetime durability. Standing seam metal roofing handles Iowa's wind, ice, and snow better than almost anything else on the market, with a lifespan that can outlast the mortgage.
Backed by a 50-year color warranty. Most homeowners install it once.
The smooth panel design sheds snow and ice load better than shingles, reducing ice-dam risk.
No granule loss, no curling edges. Far less to check for over the life of the roof.
Reflects more heat than asphalt, which can help lower summer cooling costs.
Non-combustible, which some insurance carriers factor into premiums.
A durable, low-maintenance roof is a genuine selling point if you list your home down the road.
Trego Roofing is locally owned and based in Cedar Rapids, part of the Trego Custom Homes family. From tear-off to final cleanup, we aim for clear answers, respectful crews, and a roof built to endure Iowa weather — honest Midwestern building standards, not a sales script.

Not with a proper installation. It's installed over solid decking and underlayment, the same as asphalt, which absorbs sound.
No. Metal roofing doesn't attract lightning any more than other materials, and it's non-combustible if a strike does occur nearby.
We always do a full tear-off down to the deck rather than roofing over old shingles, for metal and asphalt alike.
Typically 40-70 years, backed by a 50-year color warranty on the material.
It reflects more heat than asphalt shingles, which can reduce cooling costs in the summer months.
