Benefits of a Metal Roof

Installing a new roof is no small undertaking, and certainly a large investment. Metal roofs are more expensive than standard asphalt roofs; however, their benefits speak for themselves. Their durability, longevity, and overall quality make them an ideal choice for many homeowners.

Durability

Metal roofs are incredibly durable against outdoor elements and harsh weather conditions, especially in the snowy Mid-Atlantic region. Metal roofs can withstand wind gusts up to 140 mph, have reasonable impact resistance, and are resistant to fires. And contrary to commonly held beliefs, metal roofs are actually safe against lighting and will not make your home vulnerable during thunderstorms.

Longevity

Metal roofs last up to 3x longer than a typical asphalt shingle roof. You can expect an asphalt roof to last around 15 to 25 years, while also requiring routine roof maintenance and repairs. Metal roofs can last anywhere from 40 to 60 years, with little to no maintenance being required. With a metal roof, you can shelter your home and get a long-lasting peace of mind for many years to come.

Energy Efficiency

If you’re looking for an energy-efficient roofing option, look no further than a metal roof. Metal roofs reflect UV rays from the sun away from your home, instead of absorbing them like traditional asphalt shingles. The time it takes for your home to cool down in the hotter months will be significantly lower, too, which means you can reap the rewards of low cooling costs.

Less Maintenance Required

Asphalt roofs require a lot of upkeep. Your shingles will need to be replaced, leaks will need to be patched, and chimney flashing can become damaged or compromised over time. With a metal roof, you won’t need to perform as much maintenance and there’s no need for small, routine repairs. That can save you a lot of time and a lot of money in the long run.

Environmentally Friendly

Metal roofs are made up of at least 25% of recycled materials, if not more, and are completely recyclable. At the end of your roof’s lifespan, you can recycle your roof instead of allowing it to end up in a landfill. Many homeowners have also noticed that metal roofs allow for easier installation of solar panels than asphalt roofs.
