Metal vs Asphalt: Why More Lower Mainland Homeowners Are Upgrading — And How Valley Metal Roofing Makes It Worth It

If you're a homeowner in the Lower Mainland weighing asphalt shingles against a metal roof, you're not alone. With rising repair costs, unpredictable weather, and growing interest in long-term solutions, many BC homeowners are rethinking what kind of roof truly protects their investment.

At Valley Metal Roofing, we see this shift every day — and we're proud to lead the way.

Why Metal Roofing Is Gaining Ground in BC

Asphalt shingles have long been the go-to for residential roofs. They're familiar, cheap up front, and easy to install. But for homeowners thinking beyond short-term costs, metal is quickly becoming the smarter, safer, more valuable choice.

Here's why:

1. Real Longevity

Asphalt roofs often need replacing after 10-15 years. A metal roof? It can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. That means fewer repairs, less stress, and long-term savings.

2. Fire Resistance & Climate Durability

With BC's wildfire risk and heavy rains, homeowners want a roof that can stand up to the elements. Metal doesn’t ignite like shingles, sheds rain easily, and won’t rot or grow moss.

3. Energy Efficiency

Metal roofs reflect heat instead of absorbing it, helping keep homes cooler in summer. For homes with proper insulation and attic ventilation, that can mean serious savings on energy bills.

4. Increased Home Value

Buyers are getting smarter about home upkeep. A metal roof signals quality, security, and lower future costs. It adds curb appeal and often increases resale value.
