Metal Church Roof Installation Contractors
Why Are Metal Roofs the Best Choice of Roofing for Churches?
Churches will be around for many years and generations, and roofing for churches needs to be just as durable. Metal roofs are one of the best options for this. Along with lasting a long time, they also come with many other benefits, which we will discuss in this blog post.
Metal Roofs Are Cost-Effective
At first, getting a cheaper roof like asphalt might seem like a good idea. The initial cost is much lower, which saves the church money that it can allot to other operations.
However, when someone actually sits down and does the calculations, asphalt roofs will be more expensive than metal roofing for churches over time. On average, asphalt shingles will last between 17-23 years, while metal roofs can last between 40-70 years and longer. Over the course of 50 years, an asphalt roof will need to be replaced twice, while the metal roof will most likely still be up there. Asphalt roofs are not worth it over the long term when adding up all the roof replacements and repair costs.
Metal Roofs Lead to Energy Savings
Typically, roofs absorb heat from the sun, which gets transferred into the attic. From there, the hot air blows to the rest of the building. Metal roofs are a different case, though. Most metal roofs are naturally reflective, causing the sun’s rays to bounce off them. As a result, the building will be cooler than it would be with asphalt or any other type of roof. This means churches won’t need to spend as much on air conditioning.
Stone-coated metal roofs, in particular, can lead to even greater energy savings since they have a feature called above-sheathing ventilation. This allows hot air to move out of the roof decking, keeping the building even cooler.
Metal Roofing for Churches Is Stylish
Much of the time, with roofing for churches, we need to consider aesthetics and the overall style. Churches generally want roofs that will not only look great today but will look great over the course of many years.
Metal roofs are one of the best options in terms of aesthetics because of the wide variety of options available. At AM Burney Exteriors, we install three types of metal roofs — embossed interlocking, standing seam, and stone-coated. Here is an overview of each option:
- Stone-coated metal roofs: These combine the traditional look of asphalt with the superior durability of metal roofing.
- Standing seam roofs: These have long, vertical panels that have a sleek look and come in a virtually limitless assortment of colors.
- Embossed interlocking steel roofs: These come in various colors and have a unique look, thanks to their double embossed texture. The steel roofs we install also have highlights and shadow lines, giving the roof a stunning, elegant aesthetic.
With all the color and style options available, installing a metal roof can make the church look practically new.
Metal Roofs Are Weather-Resistant
Metal roofs are incredibly tough, durable, and weather-resistant, keeping everyone inside safe. They have a Class 4 hail rating (which is the best possible) and can withstand winds of 120-160 miles per hour, depending on the type.

Searching for a local metal roofing contractor for your church in Minnesota? Churches do so much more than provide us with a place to worship. They provide comfort, a place for fellowship and protection from inclement weather. In both rural communities and cities they are architectural landmarks. When a church roof is old from years of service, or has storm damage, a metal church roof installation is the perfect long-term solution for replacement value. Finding funds for a new roof every 17-23 years is a challenge. Plus, there are costly hours spent finding the right product and the right contractor to properly install it.
Consider a metal roof. Mainly because a steel roof will not have to be replaced every 17-23 years or so and why it is often called the “lifetime shingle.” A metal roof installation today, stops the re-roofing cycle of asphalt shingles.
Metal roofing for a church or religious facility offers strength, durability, beauty, and requires little to no maintenance. With warranties of up to 50 years and high resistance to weather such as hail and wind, a metal church roof, over its lifespan of usefulness, is easier on time and on budgets when compared to an asphalt shingle roof replacement simply because it does not have to be replaced as often.
At AM Burney Exteriors, our experts inspect the existing roof, work with the production manager and council on types of metal roofs, and work with budgets to offer the best product available on the market today. One that fits the architectural style of the building. Our goal is to protect the congregation, the property structure and the investment of time and money with optimal service. We pride ourselves in providing high-quality products, attention to detail and quality service to everyone of our clients. Choose between stone-coated steel roofing, standing seam roofs, or interlocking steel roof panels.
If looking to increase comfort and reduce energy costs consider new roof insulation that is specifically designed to withstand Minnesota’s extreme weather if that is a consideration. In addition, we offer full-service options including siding replacement and new window installations.
Should there be storm damage to a roof, we’ll work to replace the roof or siding if an insurance claim is involved. The process with insurance can be stressful but our experience with the insurance claim process may be of great help and comfort to those involved. Our goal: a stress free completion of beautiful, stately new metal roofs.
Why Choose a New Metal Church Roof Installation?
Most asphalt shingle roofs have a shelf life of between 17-23 years, depending on their exposure. Extreme sun, wind, snow, and ice, can wreak havoc on asphalt roofs and require maintenance or replacement more frequently than a metal roof. With a metal church roof, expect the roof to hold up to inclement weather better, look great longer, help with energy efficiency, and even reduce annual insurance rates in many cases. A few benefits when choosing a new metal church roof from AM Burney Exteriors are:
- A metal roof is hail resistant. Our metal roofs are strong and stand up to Class 4 hail, the highest rating possible, unlike most asphalt shingles.
- Our metal roofs stand up to wind better than any asphalt-shingle roofs, and are rated for 120-160 mph winds depending on the type.
- Metal roofs carry up to a 50-year warranty!
- Metal roofs are energy efficient. As utility costs continue to rise, metal roofs save money by lowering air conditioner costs because hot air is released more readily from the roof deck compared to petroleum-based asphalt shingles that hold the heat.
- Reductions in insurance costs are possible because of the durability of metal roofs.
- Metal roofs are lightweight in comparison to asphalt shingle, slate, or clay tile roofs.
- Our metal roofs do not deteriorate like asphalt shingles do.
- Little to no maintenance is required with a metal roof.
- A metal church roof will not warp, crack, chip, or peel.
- Pest, mold, and mildew resistant, our metal roofs provide a healthier structure for the congregation.
- Our roofs are beautiful and durable, holding color far longer than traditional asphalt shingle roofs.

Storm Damaged Metal Church Roofs

Installing a metal church roof at this time, will not only provide protection and durability against natural disasters. Money can be saved on future repairs, maintenance, energy costs and end the reroofing cycle when comparing a metal roof to an asphalt roof. These savings can be seen for years down the road.
