5 Reasons to Install Metal Roofing Systems 

If you want to replace your home’s roof, it may be worth considering other options than asphalt. In fact, metal roofing systems have seen a surge in popularity and increased demand in the residential market. But if you are still on the fence, here are a couple of reasons that should convince you to give metal roofing a try.

1. Durability

Metal roofs are one of the most durable types of roofing that you can ever install. They can withstand hail, fire, extreme temperatures, and even winds up to 140 miles per hour. Not only that, but thanks to their rust-proof coatings, they can also resist corrosion and cracks. And even if the roof experiences a bit of wear and tear, you can repaint it instead of getting a roof replacement.

As a result, you can expect your metal roof to last anywhere between 40 and 70 years with minimal maintenance. In contrast, asphalt shingle roofs tend to last up to 20 years. 

2. Energy Efficiency

It’s true that metal roofs usually cost more than their asphalt counterparts. However, you’ll be able to recover your investment by saving money on cooling your home. More specifically, the coating of metal roofs reflects heat instead of absorbing it, minimizing heat gain and reducing your energy costs by up to 40%. At the same time, in cold climates, metal roofs provide excellent insulation and help maintain your home’s temperature. 

3. Eco Friendly

Metal roofs are one of the most sustainable types of roofs on the market. They are made using at least 25% recycled materials while also being fully recyclable themselves. As an example, you can recycle steel roofs more than once without noticing any degradation in their durability. So, if you want to do your part to help protect the environment, metal roofs are the best choice. 

4. Customization Options

One of the main reasons people choose metal roofs is their customization options. While some people prefer metal sheets, others go for shingles as they can be designed to resemble other materials such as slates and clay tiles. 

Additionally, metal roofs are available in a wide range of colors and finishes, which gives you more control over the final look of your roof. As a matter of fact, there are over 100 color options, so you can always find one that suits your needs. 

5. Return on Investment

If you want to increase the value of your home, you can never go wrong with a metal roofing system. Prospective buyers will be drawn to its appearance, especially if it has been customized. Furthermore, they will be excited to see that they don’t have to spend money on a new roof in the foreseeable future. And even if you don’t plan to sell your home anytime soon, getting a metal roof is always a good investment as it will positively impact your home’s curb appeal. 

Final Thoughts

From their durability to their energy efficiency, there are a lot of reasons to choose metal roofs. However, keep in mind that this type of roofing is much harder to install and requires professional expertise. That’s why you’ll have to rely on a certified roofing contractor such as Tadlock Roofing.
