Metal roofs are durable, weather resistant, and incredibly long-lasting. A properly installed, high-quality metal roof can last 40-70 years with proper maintenance. In the case of wildfire or lightning, a metal roof will not catch flame.
Metal roofs are incredibly resistant to extreme weather. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) found that a metal roof is among the most hail-resistant types of roofing, able to withstand nearly golf-ball-sized pieces of hail with only cosmetic damage.
A metal roof is comprised of between 25%-95% recycled materials. When a metal roof is replaced, the old roof is 80% – 100% recyclable, making a metal roof incredibly environmentally friendly compared to a standard shingle roof.
Yes! While homeowners have chosen asphalt shingle roofs for decades due to a lack of options, a residential metal roof is becoming a popular choice for homeowners. Metal roofs require much less maintenance, can last up to three times longer and are much more weather-resistant.
In the short term? Yes. In the long-term? No! Between the reduced maintenance, stellar weather resistance, and increased lifespan, a metal roof will end up paying dividends in the long term.
Yes. Like any other roof, a metal roof will eventually need to be repaired to keep it at 100% functionality. The difference between a metal roof repair and an asphalt shingle repair is frequency: your metal roof will need repairs much less often!
Sometimes three times as long! A properly installed, frequently maintained asphalt shingle roof can last between 15-20 years. A metal roof, in turn, lasts between 40-70 years.
Metal roofs are super energy efficient. Because of their ability to reflect the sun’s UV rays, a metal roof can save an owner up to 15%-25% on their cooling costs!
Yes, but this risk is incredibly minimized with the proper coatings and maintenance.
40-70 years! Because of this, both commercial metal roofs and residential metal roofs are among the best choices if you are in the market for a roof with a stellar lifespan.
