If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Northwood home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Metal roofing handles extreme weather better than any other residential material. Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218, meaning it withstands the largest hail without damage, often qualifying for insurance premium discounts. Class A fire rating per UL 790. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592.

Why Choose Northwood Roofing & Maintenance for Metal Roofing?
40-60 Year Lifespan
Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting residential roofing material. Install it once and never replace it again. The math works out better than replacing shingles twice.
Class 4 Impact Resistance
UL 2218 Class 4 rated. Handles the largest hail without compromising the waterproof system. Often qualifies for insurance premium discounts in IA.
Dedicated Metal Crew
Our metal roofing installers do metal work exclusively. They're not shingle crews handling an occasional metal job. Tight seams, clean transitions, and proper flashing, every time.
Energy Savings
Reflective metal reduces cooling costs 15-25%. In IA heat, that adds up fast. Metal pays for itself over its lifetime in energy savings alone.
