For years, when it comes to materials for roofing, we typically don't think of metal roofing. We think of asphalt. You may be missing out on a home upgrade that will give your home steel strength and good looks too.
Â
Now is the time to consider outdoor projects. Roofing now, when the wet weather is gone, is the time to consider metal roofing. Check with roofing contractors to see if they offer metal roofing. Metal roofs can really give you a lot of positives for your home. The prices are reasonable and the contractor can go over with you why metal roofing is the way to go. The roofing materials come in many colors to match the style of your home and, roof panels will last for a much longer time.
Â
Think of it: roofing with metal roofing lasts 33 years longer than traditional asphalt. When you consider asphalt, remember, compared to metal roofing, for a real comparison, you need to understand that metal roofing lasts almost 3 times longer. A metal roof has good cost value and good prices because metal roofing lasts longer. By the way, also consider that you can't place on your roof more than two layers of roofing. If you go asphalt, the third application means you have to rip and scrape off the old, then put new materials on. Not an issue with metal roofing.
Â
Metal roofing doesn't require so many nails. This gives you a great smooth finish without having to pierce your roofing with so many nails. Metal roof panels don't have as many seams either. This means that metal roofs don't have as much opportunity for wind, rain, and dust to get into your roofing system. You really need to consider not only the tear down of other roofing but, the possible damage that the process could bring if you don't use metal roofing.
Â
Metal roofing has so many different styles. Panels come in colors and styles that will match your home. Get the roof that enhances the overall beauty of your home. Steel roofing gives you more variety. With this variety, you can get just the right fit for your taste. Metal roofing is becoming much more popular. Ask your contractor to tell you where they have roofs where they've installed metal roofing and take a look. I'm sure that you'll see that the homes with the strongest curb appeal in the neighborhood are the ones with metal roofing.
Â
Something I haven't mentioned yet, did you know that for some metal roofing there's federal tax credits for installing the panels? It's true. Check with your metal roofing contractor for panels that not only look nice but, give you additional savings from the government. Why do they give you credits? Well, some metal roofing materials reflect the sun. It lowers your cooling costs. Also, heavy snow loads can be a thing of the past. The heavy stuff will just slide away.
Â
Metal roofing, once you start paying attention really is the new trend in roofing. Prices are where they should be, durability is where it should be, value, appeal, and overall cost makes roofing with metal roofing the right choice. Now that the weather is good, now is the right time too.
