If your current roof is suffering from leaks, missing shingles, or other issues that are causing you stress, it’s probably time to replace the roof entirely. There are multiple options when you’re choosing a material for your new roof. Each material comes with its own pro’s and con’s, as well as drastically varying price tags from one material to another, so it’s important to understand which material will be the best investment for you and your home before making a purchase. Metal roofing is one of the roofing materials that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Once you read all of the benefits that come along with it, you’ll understand why so many homeowners are deciding on metal roofing for their home!
Durability and Longevity
One of the biggest perks of metal roofing is its strength and long lifespan. A properly installed metal roof should last anywhere from 40 to 70 years. In contrast, traditional asphalt shingles last just 20 to 30 years. Metal roofing is built to be low maintenance for homeowners during that long lifespan too. Asphalt shingles are easily damaged by high winds or harsh weather, but metal roofing can withstand even the worst storms with minimal to no damage. Don’t worry about rust either; since it’s a metal material the roofing panels are covered in an anti-rust coating before they’re installed.
Lower Your Carbon Footprint
Homeowners are becoming increasingly concerned about their carbon footprint and how environmentally friendly their home purchases are. Metal roofing is one of the most environmentally friendly roofing materials you can buy! The long-life expectancy means no waste on replacement or repairs for 40 to 70 years. When the metal roof does need replaced, the metal can be recycled so little to no product will end up in a landfill.
Lower Heating and Cooling Costs
Metal roofing is designed to reflect solar heat, rather than absorbing it like asphalt roofing. Homeowners who choose metal roofing will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 25% year-round! Those savings will add up in no time to help recover from the initial cost of purchasing and installing metal roofing.
Aesthetics
Metal roofing looks absolutely stunning once it’s installed. Your home will look sleek and timeless. The improved aesthetics of your home will boost curb appeal and the resale value of your home. If you plan to sell in the future, metal roofing may be just the edge you need to attract more buyers!
