Homeowner Tip Roofing

Got Metal?

​Whether you’re putting a roof on a new home or your existing roof requires a total makeover. It’s time to consider a metal roof. Why would you consider metal for your roof, isn’t it expensive? Isn’t it noisy? Doesn’t it make my attic hot? No. No and No. Let’s discover the advantages of a metal roof.

VALUE
On average you would replace asphalt shingles 3 times to the life cycle of a properly installed metal roof. So that’s money in your pocket and it may even increase the resale value of your home!

DURABILITY
Unlike asphalt or other roofing styles, a properly constructed metal roof can handle just about anything Mother Nature can throw at it. Metal roofing can protect your home against extreme temperatures, high winds, hail, marine air and even fire – all with minimal maintenance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Metal roofing can save you up to 40% on your annual energy costs? Cool-metal roofing uses a reflective solar coating designed to minimize heat buildup and reduce air conditioning cost.

SAFETY
Metal roofs will not spark or ignite into flames during wildfires or lightning strikes.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Metal is considered the most environmentally friendly and sustainable roofing material available. Most metal roofing contains 30-60% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. Metal roofs can also often be installed over an existing roof, eliminating the environmental impact of disposal.

VARIETY
Residential metal roofs are available in a wide variety of styles, types and colors. They can make a bold architectural statement or effortlessly complement any home and neighborhood. They’ll also maintain their great looks much longer than other roofing materials.

So what are you waiting for now is the time to save money, add value to your home and be the talk of the neighborhood. Don’t forget to make sure that your new metal roof is UL approved and Energy Star compliant.
