The facts about metal roofs:

1.) Lasts longer that asphalt- Longevity is one of the top reasons consumers report choosing metal roofing for their homes. A metal roof can last as long as fifty years or more, requiring very little maintenance and looking beautiful all the while.
2.) Energy Savings- Metal materials not only secure and improve your home, but also provide long-term savings on energy bills. Metal roofing does just that, saving up to 40% of your annual household energy costs, depending on your geographical region.
3.) Insurance Discounts- If you live in an area that experiences extreme weather from time to time, be it hail, heavy wind or forest and canyon fire, you should be aware of the availability of impact-resistant UL Standard 2218 tested metal roofing and fire-resistant Class A, B and C metal roofing. While important for the safety and security reasons alone, these quality metal roofing products may also earn you discounts on your homeowner’s insurance!
4.) Recoup costs when you sell- Homes with metal roofs saw up to an astonishing 95% of the cost recouped at resale. This is not true of asphalt shingle roofs, which must be replaced and repaired more frequently.
5.) Expense- There is no doubt metal roofs cost more in the short time and initially. However over time with the energy savings, insurance discounts and peace of mind you will never have to do your roof again, it’s overall cheaper than asphalt.
