At first glance, the price of a metal roof may cause the average home owner to shy away from this often ignored upgrade. But metal roofs offer many advantages over traditional asphalt shingles, and a little extra investment up front can save a lot of money down the road. Here is a list of some of the advantages of installing a metal roof on your home:
- Metal Roofing is very durable and adds to your home’s value more than say a renovated room would.
- There is very little maintenance and you can expect your roof to last over 35 years.
- Metal roofs are eco-friendly keeping your home ahead of the tech curve.
- Metal roofs reflect solar energy in the summer saving energy.
- You won’t have problems with shingles tearing or breaking off during storms.
- A metal roof has a typical standard warranty of 50 years.
- Your house will withstand wind, hail, fire and other disasters.
Metal roofs are also approved to meet some of the most stringent building codes in the country, making them more desirable for an insurance company to cover you in high risk areas.
