Metal Roofing

Metal roofs can last longer than 50 years, whereas the average shingle roof only makes it to 20 years or so. A metal roof is much better suited to take on elements such as ice and strong wind gusts. Furthermore, the treatments the sheets receive typically wards off rust and corrosion.

Steel sheets are typically made from recycled metal, whereas shingle roofs might not be fully made from recycled materials. These roofs are 100 percent recyclable and provide safe platforms for solar panels and water collection systems.

Metal roofs don’t absorb heat as much as traditional roofs. Sometimes, reflective coatings can also be added to keep the heat away from the building. Property owners have found that their utility bills have been lowered by 25 percent thanks to metal roofs.

Metal roofs come in many different colors and styles. Some of these looks can create unique appearances for your building, while others can be painted to match your current style to increase your curb appeal.

Roofs can get expensive over time with the costs of repairs and maintenance. However, metal roofs don’t require rounds of repairs after most natural disasters. These roofs are fire-resistant, can take a beating from wind, rain, and ice, and rarely need upkeep to maintain their condition.
