The roof is an important part of our home and we want it to be the best. With so many choices in the market, it can be difficult to choose the right roof for your home. People are always asking which type of roof to choose, from shingles to metal roofs. Metal roofs are becoming more popular than ever, prompting the question: Should you choose metal roofing over shingles?
You have made the right decision to install a metal roof on your home. Now it is time to find a metal roofing installer. While there are many roofing companies, it is important to select someone with at least 10 years of experience in this industry.
Here are some benefits of installing metal roofs for your home:
Lightweight- If you have an asphalt shingle roof you can have a steel roof placed over it without the need for additional support. Metal roofing can sometimes be applied directly over asphalt shingle roofing. This saves you money on tear-off and disposal.
Metal roofs are extremely durable – With proper maintenance, they can last more than 50 years. Metal roofs are almost impenetrable and can resist rust and rot as well as insects. Consider switching to metal roofing if you have had issues with hailstones and tree branches impact damage.
Its Stylish- Metal roofs are a modern evolution of corrugated sheets that were used for roofing barns and sheds. The most popular option is standing-seam metal roofing, but there are other options. You can have metal roofing that looks like clay tiles, slate or wood shakes.
It Saves Energy –Your home's monthly energy consumption will be reduced if there is less heat being absorbed by the roof. Copper and other metal roofing options are naturally reflective.
