What is the Difference Between Metal and Asphalt Roofing?
When you plan to get a new roof for your house, the first thing you need to decide is what roof material you would like best. There are two main types of roofing materials – metal and asphalt. Each has its pros and cons. Below is a quick breakdown of the main differences between the two materials.Cost
For those looking for a more affordable option upfront, asphalt tends to be cheaper than metal to install. However, due to metal roofing’s energy-saving features, longer life span, and durability, metal roofing tends to factor out as more cost-efficient over the long-term than its asphalt counterpart.Color
If you are looking for a standard roof with basic colors, then asphalt is a great choice. Or maybe your HOA requires you to have a certain look or type of roof. However, for those wanting something a little more unique that has no HOA constraints, metal roof panels tend to offer a larger selection of color options.Lifespan
A metal roof has a lifespan of approximately 50 years or more, whereas, on average an asphalt roof typically lasts about 20 years. As a roof is a large investment, sometimes it ends up better to choose something that will last longer even if it costs more upfront. Overall, a metal roof may calculate to cost the same as asphalt over its lifetime. This is because, during the same period, you may have to replace an asphalt roof 2 or 3 times.Durability
When installers use the proper methods and secure them properly, they can both withstand strong wind gusts. They are similar in that sense, but metal roofs are more resistant to other elements, such as, fire, hail, mold and moisture.Why Choose Xterior as Your Roofing Company?

Frequently Asked Questions on Roof Replacement Financing
What is a roof loan?
Simply put, it is a personal loan with the only purpose of providing a homeowner with financing for a new roof. Anyone who owns a house knows that mortgage, property taxes, and unexpected expenses tend to add up. If you are not able to put much money down or pay in cash, a roof loan allows you to acquire a new roof and stay on budget. Since it is a personal loan, not a home equity loan, the bank does not require collateral.Is there anything specific I need to apply for a roof loan?
The process is relatively simple and while it can vary, here are the factors most lenders look at:- Credit score
- Cost of roof project
- Household income
- Current expenses and bills
- Reliability of contractor’s services (no lender wants to provide a loan for a project with a contractor who might leave town and abandon the project).
What should I ask or consider before signing a roofing loan?
Just as with any other loan, it is important to ask about the following items:- Interest rate
- Monthly payment amounts
- Loan term
- Any fees associated with the loan – such as an origination fee
- If there is a prepayment penalty for paying it off early
Do roofing companies offer payment plans?
The best thing about a roof loan with Xterior is that most of our lenders allow for low monthly payments. This makes it much easier to pay off and does not leave you with no money in the bank in case an emergency comes up.Can you finance a roof with bad credit?
