In the scenic mountain town of Asheville, NC\u2014where architectural styles range from historic bungalows to modern cabins with Blue Ridge views\u2014homeowners need roofing that\u2019s just as beautiful as it is durable. At Best Choice Roofing, we proudly offer both standing seam and corrugated metal roofing systems, designed to withstand North Carolina\u2019s unpredictable mountain weather. Whether you’re nestled near the River Arts District or up in the hills of Montford, metal roofing offers year-round protection with a sleek, modern finish that complements Asheville\u2019s eclectic charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite metal roofing\u2019s rising popularity across Buncombe County, there are still a lot of outdated misconceptions keeping some homeowners from making the switch. So let\u2019s clear the air and bust six of the biggest myths about metal roofing in Asheville<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Myth: Metal Roofs Make Your Home Hotter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Truth:<\/strong> Actually, the opposite is true. Modern metal roofing reflects solar radiant heat<\/a>, which can lower cooling costs by up to 25% in the summer. The humid Appalachian climate makes a big difference. We also install cool roof coatings for even better thermal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Myth: Metal Roofs Are Noisy in the Rain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong> Truth:<\/strong> We get it\u2014Asheville sees its fair share of summer storms. But a properly installed metal roof (like the ones we do at Best Choice Roofing) includes solid sheathing and insulation, which dampens sound just as effectively as traditional shingles. No loud tin-can rattle here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Myth: Metal Roofing Only Works on Modern Homes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong> Truth:<\/strong> Thanks to a range of color options and panel profiles, metal roofs complement everything from arts-and-crafts cottages to craftsman-style homes. Corrugated panels can even add rustic charm to log cabins or tiny homes tucked into the hills. It\u2019s about choosing the right style\u2014and we help with that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Myth: Metal Roofs Rust Quickly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong> Truth:<\/strong> Today\u2019s metal roofs are typically coated with galvalume or galvanized finishes that resist corrosion for decades. Our standing seam panels feature hidden fasteners to keep moisture out, and they\u2019re built to handle Asheville\u2019s mix of rain, snow, and sun without flinching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Myth: Metal Roofing Is Way More Expensive Than Shingles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Truth:<\/strong> While the initial cost may be higher, metal roofing is an investment that lasts<\/a>. With lifespans of 40\u201370 years (compared to 15\u201320 for asphalt), you\u2019re saving on future replacements and repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Myth: Metal Roofs Attract Lightning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong> Truth:<\/strong> Metal conducts electricity but doesn\u2019t attract it. In fact, metal roofing is one of the safest materials during a lightning storm because it\u2019s non-combustible. It won\u2019t spark or catch fire, which offers peace of mind during Asheville\u2019s frequent thunderstorm season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
