While metal roofing may have a higher upfront cost than asphalt shingles, it offers superior longevity, lasting 40–70 years versus 15–30 for asphalt. It also requires less maintenance, is more energy-efficient, and provides better protection against Montana’s extreme weather. Over time, homeowners save significantly on repairs, replacements, and energy bills, making metal roofs the smarter long-term financial choice.

This is a common misconception. In fact, metal roofing reflects solar radiant heat in the summer, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%. In winter, proper insulation and underlayment systems prevent heat loss. Havoc Roofing uses high-performance barriers and installation techniques that ensure your home stays comfortable year-round in Montana’s fluctuating climate.

Yes—metal roofing is ideal for Western Montana’s harsh winters. It sheds snow quickly due to its slick surface and steep pitch options, reducing ice dam risks. It also stands up to hail and impacts far better than traditional roofing. Havoc Roofing installs systems rated for Class 4 impact resistance—the highest standard available.

Not necessarily. In many cases, metal roofing can be installed directly over existing shingles, saving time and disposal costs. Havoc Roofing conducts a structural assessment to determine if your current roof can support a new metal system or if removal is needed to address moisture or structural damage.

Metal roofing comes in a variety of profiles and finishes, including standing seam, corrugated panels, and metal shingles that mimic traditional materials like slate, tile, or wood. With options in color, texture, and sheen, Havoc Roofing helps customers choose styles that enhance curb appeal while providing unmatched durability.

Modern metal roofs are no louder than other materials when properly installed. Havoc Roofing adds solid sheathing and insulation beneath the panels, significantly dampening noise. Customers are often surprised to find their new metal roof is quieter than their previous asphalt roof, especially during storms.

Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, lowering cooling loads in the summer. Many systems also come with advanced coatings that enhance this effect. In Montana’s cold winters, Havoc Roofing uses insulated panels and reflective underlayment to keep heat in. These improvements often lead to noticeable reductions in energy bills.

Metal roofing is low maintenance but not maintenance-free. Occasional inspections, especially after severe weather, are recommended. It’s important to keep valleys and gutters clear of debris and ensure fasteners or sealants are intact. Havoc Roofing offers maintenance packages to keep your system performing optimally for decades.

Installation timelines depend on roof size, pitch, complexity, and whether an old roof needs removal. On average, residential installations take 3–7 days. Havoc Roofing prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing craftsmanship and keeps customers informed throughout the process with clear scheduling and updates.

Yes—metal roofing is one of the most sustainable roofing options. It’s often made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Its longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, and its energy efficiency reduces environmental impact. Havoc Roofing is committed to sustainable practices in every installation.
