Installing a new roof is an important investment in your home, so it shouldn’t be based on price alone. Instead of focusing only on the upfront cost of roofing materials. Homeowners should also consider the benefits and lifetime costs.
When doing this, many find that metal roofing comes out on top. It costs more to install than asphalt shingles, but its incredible durability lowers the overall lifetime cost. That, plus the many benefits metal roofing provides, makes it a smart choice for your Hampton Roads roof replacement.
Let’s take a look at why metal roofing is a great investment.
Metal roofing is available in many styles and colors, so finding a look you’ll love is easy. Options include standard metal roofing, simulated tile, metal shake shingles, and more. When it comes to color, the options are endless. You’ll want to choose a color that’s right for your climate, however. In a warm climate, it’s best to stick with lighter colors as it helps to keep heat from penetrating. In a moderate climate, like Tidewater’s, you could also opt for a darker roofing color.
One excellent reason to choose metal roofing is that it will likely be the last roof you’ll ever need! When properly installed, quality metal roofing lasts 50+ years. It’s more durable than asphalt roofing and stands up easily to whatever the weather brings. What about high winds? No problem! Metal roofing withstands wind gusts up to 180 mph, so a metal roof has an excellent chance of coming through a storm unscathed.
A metal roof protects your home from fire from a lightning strike or other sources. It won’t spark, thus it will not ignite. A Class-A fire rating is as good as it gets—and that’s what you’ll get with metal roofing.
When your choice of roof could help you save money, that’s also a consideration. Metal roofing reflects the sun’s rays and prevents heat penetration. What does that mean to you? It means your home is cooler in summer and warmer in winter—it also means you can save up to 25% on your heating and cooling costs.
It might come as a surprise that metal roofing is an environmentally friendly option. They are made from up to 95% recycled materials and can be 100% recycled at the end of their life. If you’re trying to lower your carbon footprint, choose metal roofing.
