More and more homeowners are turning to metal roofing for new home construction and replacement roofing. Why? Because metal roofing is among the most durable of roofing materials, often providing homeowners a single roof for the life of their home.
A popular choice in the south because of the extreme heat, metal roofs have now become the latest trend in northern communities because more options in color and design provide the ability to create a more unique look. Where metal roofs had been a pretty basic structure in standard colors of dark brown or gray, now homeowners can choose from blues, greens and natural shades of taupe or sand, in creative profiles that can mimic slate, clay tile and wood shake.
Many benefits
Aside from their durability, metal roofs have other advantages that today’s homeowners value.
• They insulate year round – Metal roofs keep your home cool in the summer by reflecting the sun’s UV rays, but they also are excellent insulators in the winter, maintaining a more uniform temperature and keeping your home warmer when temperatures drop.
• They are quiet – Today’s metal roofs dampen sound as well as a shingle roof.
• They are environmentally friendly – Metal roofs are manufactured almost completely of recycled material. Add that to their longevity and choosing a metal roof means adding nothing to our world’s landfills.
• They save you money – Your metal roof will last 40 years or more, so while you pay more for materials and installation, your savings on utility bills and the fact that you may never need another roof puts money in your pocket.
• They can add new charm to your home – The many colors and styles of today’s metal roofing allows you to customize the look of your home, dramatically changing its appearance.
