Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
No louder than any other roof when it is installed over a solid deck with underlayment. The deck and underlayment absorb the sound.

Chapter 01
Standing seam, corrugated and metal shingle systems
Richardson Roofing installs and replaces metal roofs for homeowners across Springdale and Northwest Arkansas: new builds, aging asphalt roofs ready for an upgrade, and roofs storm damage has already opened up. Arkansas weather brings intense summer heat, severe thunderstorms, high winds and seasonal hail, and metal systems are engineered for that kind of resilience.
Standing seam is the premium choice for residential properties in Springdale. Continuous panels run from the ridge down to the eaves, the seams are raised above the metal and the fasteners are completely concealed. With no screw holes through the panels, that design removes the main path for water intrusion and gives you a sleek, modern look.
If you want metal with a different profile, we also install exposed-fastener corrugated panels, which have a classic, rustic look and are often more budget-friendly, and stamped metal shingles that mimic wood shake, slate or tile. You get the longevity of metal without giving up traditional curb appeal.

Metal against asphalt, in Arkansas conditions
Many Northwest Arkansas homeowners ask how metal compares with asphalt shingles. Asphalt remains popular and cost-effective, but metal has distinct advantages. A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 50 years or more, where asphalt shingles typically need replacement every 15 to 20 years.
Metal is highly resistant to high winds, heavy rain and the hail impacts that can severely damage an asphalt roof, and it is highly fire-resistant. It is also highly reflective, bouncing the sun's radiant heat away from the house, which can significantly reduce cooling costs in a hot Arkansas summer compared with heat-absorbing dark shingles. Maintenance is lighter too, since there are no granules to lose and no algae to speak of.
The upfront cost of a metal roof in Springdale is generally higher than asphalt. Because a metal roof can easily outlast two or even three asphalt roofs, the long-term cost of ownership is often lower. The exact price depends on the material (standing seam versus corrugated), the pitch and complexity of your roof and the square footage, and your free consultation covers every option with honest, detailed estimates and no hidden fees.

Owner questions
What owners ask before they sign
Rain noise, lightning, going over old shingles and upkeep come up on nearly every metal quote. If hail is what started the conversation, start with the free hail inspection.
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. A metal roof does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike, and because it is non-combustible it adds an extra layer of safety if one ever occurs.
Can you install metal over my existing shingles?
Often, yes, depending on local code and the condition of your deck. We check both during the free consultation and tell you plainly whether a tear-off is the better call.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need?
Very little. Metal needs significantly less ongoing care than a shingle roof, which can lose granules or grow algae over time.
