When building a new home or renovating an existing roof, deciding what kind of roof is best for your needs can be difficult. There are many different options available. From asphalt shingles, wood shingles, concrete tiles, to our personal favorite, metal roofs, how do you know which option is the right one for you? Well, here are the benefits that metal roofing options can bring to your residential building.

 

Metal Roofing is Durable

Have you ever visited an old barn that has a roof over 100 years old? That roof was probably metal and installed correctly. While the expected lifetime of a metal roof is 40-70 years, some can last longer, meaning they are a very durable, long-lasting option. Metal roofs are durable because they are built to last with strong materials such as tin, zinc, aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel. If you are looking for a roofing option that will last your home a long time, metal roofing is an excellent option for you.

 

Metal roofs are non-combustible and have a Class A Fire Rating, which also increases their durability. The likelihood of your house getting struck by lightning on the roof and starting a fire goes down tremendously with a metal roof option. There are many great reasons for a metal roof option if you live in a stormy climate. For example, if you live in a snowy region, metal roofing also sheds snow a lot easier than alternative options. You do not have to worry about your roof caving in because of snow pile up.

 

It’s Easy to Repair Metal Roofs

If you are looking for a roofing option that is relatively quick to install, metal roofs are an excellent option for you. While it can be a quick process as a professional, doing it yourself can be time-consuming. So rely on the professionals for installation. However, if there are damages to your metal roof, it is a lot easier to replace the damages for metal roofs than other roofing materials. Metal roofing is less likely to run into the need for repairs than other options. However, if you need to replace a part of the roof, it will continue to do its job for years to come.
