Some common questions we are asked.

How long does a metal roof last?
Our metal comes with 40 year limited Sherwin Williams paint warranty, but it will easily last 60 years. This means the paint will likely fade some in 40 years, but the metal will still be good.

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last?
The average lifespan of a shingle roof is 20 years. Although some shingles now offer a 50 year warranty, all we can say is please read the fine print. We have had lots of customers say, “I put on 30 year shingles but they are worn out after 20 years.”

Metal costs more than asphalt right?
False. Right now our standard 40 year Wagler Panel actually costs less than 20 year asphalt shingles. Our metal price is $.77 per sq. ft. Add 30% for trim and accessories and the price is $1.00 per sq. ft. According to Home Depot the current price for 20 year asphalt shingles is $1.32 a sq. ft.

Our 16.25″ Standing Seam Roofing is $2.09 per sq. ft. Add 30% for trim and accessories and the price is $2.72 per sq. ft. According to Home Depot the current price for 40 year asphalt shingles is $1.86 per sq. ft.
So yes, Standing Seam will be a little more, but the standard Wagler Panel will be less than asphalt shingles. And they both come with a 40 year warranty.

Why would I use metal if everyone else on my street is using asphalt shingles?
What’s wrong with standing out a little? Show your neighbors your style with one of our 20 different colors or our textured panel. Ad value to your home with a metal roof. Pay less for insurance with a metal roof. Asphalt shingles are old hat, metal is new, smart and cutting edge!

Is a metal roof really maintenance free?
Yes. Metal will not blow off if installed properly. Most tree branches will not damage a metal roof. While you may lose 3 or for asphalt shingles to a storm, metal will generally be completely maintenance free. It also will not crack, rot, or bubble.

Is metal really recyclable?
Yes. Metal is 100% recyclable. In fact some of our metal is made with recycled steel. While you have to pay someone to take your asphalt shingles (and they will sit in land fills for hundreds of years), someone will actually pay for your old metal and you will not damage the environment.

I like metal, but my local lumber yard says it will take 3 weeks to get it.
False. Metal is available in 1-2 days from local metal roll formers. Most of these shops sell to the public and manufacture metal and trim. They also carry accessories like screws and vents. Their knowledgeable staff will help with your order and make sure you get everything you need.

When thinking about your next roof, please consider metal, and support a local metal roll former like Wagler Steel in Paradise, PA.

Last Wednesday Cliff, our shop manager, decided it is time to clean our Roll Former. The Roll Former is our main piece of equipment. It was made in the USA by MRS Roll Forming Systems. Our trusty machine has made almost 1 million feet of metal and on a recent day it made over 20,000 feet. We have done routine maintenance, kept it greased and the dies clean, but a lot of grit and grime had accumulated on the machine.

Here are a few pictures of roll former cleaning day.

When installing a new roof on your home, consider that Metal is the best financial choice.
Why is this?

1. Metal isn’t as expensive as you might think. In recent years there has been advancement in metal and paint manufacturing to bring down the price of metal roofs. Also, while standing seam metal is expensive, the most popular roofing panel in the country does not cost much more than shingles.
   
2. Metal Roofs last a long, long time. While the average shingle roof lasts around 20 years, Metal roofs last around 50. Wagler Steel Corrugated Metal now comes with a 40 year Valspar Warranty.
3. Energy Savings. While black Asphalt roofs soak in heat, Metal roofs reflect most of the sun’s rays. This allows your home to stay cooler in the summer.
4. Tax Credits. Federal Tax Credits are 10% of the roof cost while State and Local Credits may also be available.
5. Insurance savings. You can save up to 30% on your homeowners insurance with a new metal roof. Contact your insurer to see what discounts they offer.

Wagler Steel sells metal directly to retail customers and builders. We are also now selling our metal at 4 local lumber yards.

At Wagler Steel in Paradise, PA we are all about stream lined metal production. 10 minutes after an order is placed in the office it can be picked up in the shop. Steve, our roll former operator has even been known to roll metal out of the machine directly onto a customer’s truck or trailer.

Our metal is stored in coils, not on stacks of 10, 12, and 14′ sheets on racks throughout the shop. This insures that all your metal will have nice factory cuts, it hasn’t been sitting on racks collecting dust for weeks, doesn’t get scratched from being moved and restacked multiple times, and it is made specifically for each individual job.

Coil Storage - Our Metal is stored in Coil form, not in stacks of sheets.
