Metal roofing is a popular choice in the Paducah area, from farmhouses and barns in McCracken and Graves County to lake homes and commercial buildings. It isn't the right answer for every roof, though, and the best decision starts with looking at the roof you have.
Why people in Paducah choose metal
- Wind and hail: a properly fastened metal roof stands up well to the spring storms that move through western Kentucky.
- Long life: metal is a long-term roof when it's installed correctly with the right underlayment and fasteners.
- Summer heat: lighter-colored metal reflects sun, which helps attics in hot, humid Kentucky summers.
- Looks: metal suits farmhouses, modern homes and lake properties.
When shingles may be the better fit
Metal usually costs more up front than architectural shingles. On a roof with a lot of valleys, dormers and penetrations, or a home you don't plan to stay in long, shingles may give you more value. We lay out both options side by side. For a deeper comparison, read metal roof or shingles?
