When choosing a material for your roof, you naturally want to go with something that is durable, easy to maintain, and long-lasting. Nothing beats a metal roof in these three areas.
In the last two decades, metal roofs have risen in popularity because people are finally realizing they come with benefits you can’t get from asphalt shingles or other roofing systems.
Metal roofs can survive harsher conditions that other roof systems can’t, including wildfires, hurricanes, and hail. With an average lifespan of between 40-70 years+, you won’t have to replace a metal roof every 20 years like you would an asphalt shingle roof. A metal roof is also naturally waterproof, as long as it’s been installed properly.
Perhaps the best part is that metal roofs don’t need much, if any, maintenance, provided it was installed correctly.
Since metal naturally reflects heat, you’ll notice a decrease in your energy bills when you have a metal roof. Of course, to get all the benefits from a metal roof, you want to have it installed by professional roofers.
If you’ve looked into metal roofs, you’ve probably noticed they’re a bit pricier than other roofing systems, like traditional asphalt shingles. That’s because they’re far more durable and last much longer than other systems. Metal roofs have also been shown to boost property values by nearly 6% in some locations.
Although steel seems to be the most popular, there are a handful of material choices for a metal roof, each with a varying average lifespan:
Installing a metal roof takes skill, so be sure you hire a professional roofing company to do the job. It’s not something you can research online, watch a few videos, and expect to get right.
