Is Tin Cheaper Than Asphalt Roofing? With starting rates lower than tin roofing, asphalt roofing is usually the most affordable choice when evaluating roofing costs. Asphalt shingles are a more cost-effective option for homeowners with tight budgets because they typically cost between $3.50 and $5.50 per square foot. Tin roofs, on the other hand, start at around $4 per square foot and can cost more depending on the material, such copper or aluminum. Long-term advantages of tin roofing include greater durability, resilience to severe weather, and a longer lifespan—up to 40–200 years, depending on the material—despite the higher initial cost. Because of this, tin roofs are especially desirable to homeowners who are prepared to pay more up front in order to avoid having to replace and repair them frequently.
