What are some other advantages of metal roofing?

Metal is light weight, so it can be installed over your existing roof without the mess of tearing off old shingles. Metal roofs are fire resistant; they can withstand the heat of burning debris falling from any nearby fire, whereas a conventional roof will easily catch fire. With proper installation, there is no threat of water damage or leaking, little accumulation of snow and ice, and has high resistance to storms or winds.

Will I like the appearance of metal roofing?

Metal roofing is more popular than ever in part because it is attractive, and it enhances the beauty of any style of building. What's more, metal shingles can replicate the look of slate, wood, tile, and shingle roofing, if you prefer the look of a traditional roof. With the wide variety of styles and colors available, you can choose the perfect roof for your home, church, or business.

How can I save on energy bills with metal roofing?

Metal reflects much of the sun's heat, rather than absorb it, as most other roofing materials do, so it doesn't get as hot during the day. Metal also cools more quickly, helping to keep the temperature of a house more moderate, resulting in less energy used to keep your house cool.

Will it cost more than conventional roofing?

A metal roof will cost more up front, but it has a much longer life span and can last for 70 years or longer. Compared to replacing your conventional roof every 12 years or so, you'll find metal roofing is a wise investment. It will be the last roof you will ever buy.

Is metal roofing quiet during rain and hail?

Metal roofing will be just as quiet as shingle roofing. Plywood decking and moisture barrier installation, or installation over your existing roof, will ensure a quiet roof. Also, attic insulation helps keep the noise level to a minimum.

Is metal good for the environment?

Yes. Metal roofing is 100% recyclable, in contrast to traditional shingles which must be disposed of in a landfill.
