If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Ipswich 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.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Free Estimate
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Ipswich home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Panel Ordering & Prep
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Expert Installation
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Warranty & Completion
Every seam, fastener, and flashing point inspected. Your manufacturer warranty registered on completion day: 40-year paint finish, 25-year weathertight system warranty. Written workmanship warranty from Ipswich Roofing & Maintenance.

Why Choose Ipswich 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 A Fire Rating
Metal roofing is non-combustible with a Class A fire rating. Added safety for homes in fire-prone areas or those seeking lower insurance premiums.
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 MA.
Energy Savings
Reflective metal reduces cooling costs 15-25%. In MA heat, that adds up fast. Metal pays for itself over its lifetime in energy savings alone.
