When a metal roof is installed properly, it can withstand almost any extreme weather or climate condition. Unlike asphalt shingles, a metal roof doesn’t face damage from windstorms, heavy rain, or the extreme conditions of both coastal living, as well as mountain living. Metal roofing is also fire resistant, making it a great investment if you live in an are more likely to experience wildfires. Metal roofs will last an average of 40-70 years, over double the average of typical asphalt roofing. Metal Roofing Options Metal roofing comes in a large variety of colors, designs, styles and material choices. You can really customize a metal roof to give your home the look you want. If you are wanting to maintain the look of asphalt shingles with the durability and strength of a metal roof, you can install metal roofing that mimics the look of shingles. The possibilities are endless. Environmentally Friendly Metal roofing is one of the most eco-friendly roofing options on the market. All metal roofs are made from at least 25% recyclable material; some types are made with a higher percentage of recycled material. Metal roofs are also 100% recyclable. Generally, asphalt shingles need to be replaced every 15-20 years and involve dumping old shingles full of crude oil into our landfills. Metal roofing requires less mess and has a much longer life span. It is also much lighter than typical shingle roofing, making it possible to build new construction homes with a lighter structure. Metal roofs can also be installed over an existing roof, which keeps debris and materials from filling up the landfills. They are also more energy efficient, helping you save on energy costs. Cons of Metal Roofing While there are many benefits to metal roofing, there are some drawbacks to take into consideration. The top drawback for homeowners is the upfront cost. Metal roofs can cost up to $900 per 100 square foot, while shingles get up to $200 per 100 square foot. While that is a lot upfront, you won’t need to anticipate replacing a metal roof in 15-20 years, as you would an asphalt roof. Another drawback is denting. While metal roofs can withstand most denting problems, a large hailstorm or fallen branches can cause denting. It is also recommended to make sure you like the sound of rain on a metal roof. What some find comforting, others find irritating. |
