Advantages To Having A Metal Roof

  1. Expected Life & Longevity: If your metal roof is properly installed, then it can last up to 40-70 years without needing any major repairs unlike traditional asphalt roofing which only lasts up to 12-20 years.
  2. Durability: The metal roof will keep out any form of precipitation such as water, snow, sleet, or hail. It will also not be affected by high, strong winds up to 140 miles per hour. Over the years, your roof will not crack or corrode.
  3. Maintenance: Depending on the type of metal you use, your roof will require minimal maintenance, just occasionally do check-ups to make sure debris is not clogging up.
  4. Weight: The typical weight of tile is approximately 750 pounds per square and concrete tile is close to 900 pounds per square, but metal roofing is very light and most varies from about 50-150 pounds per square. Due to the lightweight material, you can downsize the number of roof support members and save money.
  5. Safety: Metal roofs will not spark and ignite into flames during a wildfire or lightning strike.
  6. Heat Conduction: The roof will reflect solar radiant heat, which will save you money because not a lot of air conditioning will be needed. It can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%.
  7. Added Home Value: If you ever decided to put your house on the market, a metal roofing would add value to your home due to all these great benefits. People looking to buy a house have metal roofs as a necessity nowadays.
