Metal roofing has made huge advances in recent years, both in popularity and in technology. Metal roofing, once available only in corrugated sheets, is now available in a variety of styles and colors that mimics the look of traditional building materials such as wooden shakes, slate, and tile. Metal roofing is also strong against all kinds of weather, from wind to hail to heavy snow. Metal roofing is gaining a reputation for strength, style, and longevity.
Value
Metal roofing has an excellent value over time. While the initial cost is higher than some other materials, metal roofs have a longevity which makes the cost-over time a solid investment. A homeowner who plans to stay in their home long-term will benefit from the longevity of metal roofing, and a homeowner who plans to sell will find that a strong roof that won’t need to be replaced soon is a strong selling point.
Style
Metal roofing is available in a variety of styles to mimic popular roofing products such as asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, clay tile, or slate roofing. With so many options, there is bound to be a style to fit any style of home.
Savings Over Time
In addition to the money saved from not having to replace your roof as often, metal roofing can have other advantages. ENERGY STAR® qualified metal roofing products such as Matterhorn’s reflect more of the sun’s rays, meaning that less heat is transferred into your home. This can reduce cooling cooling costs during hotter months.
Metal roofing may also save you money on your insurance. Because metal roofing is so strong, some insurance companies will offer a discount on your home insurance premium if your home has a qualified metal roof.
