If you’re considering a new roof installation, modern homeowners are increasingly considering metal roofing as an option. Commonly found on rural homes, metal roofing has become increasingly popular in city and suburban areas as well. Roofing manufacturers have noticed and expanded their metal roofing product lines over the years with a wide range of different metals, styles, and colors, including options that mimic other roofing materials, like shingles, tile, and slate stone.
While more expensive than traditional asphalt shingles, metal roofs are significantly more durable and can last 2-10 times longer. In addition to increasing your property value, metal roofs reflect more of the sun’s energy. They can be up to 50° cooler than asphalt roofing shingles, significantly lowering cooling bills. In northern climates, snow rails can be added to protect roof gutters from ice and snow damage.
We offer metal roofing installation panels, standing seam, or ribbed metal panels, and they are available in a wide range of colors.
Standing Seam metal roofing panels provide the greatest protection against rain and moisture. Standing Seam roofing systems utilize a series of clips secured to the roof decking boards. The overlapping metal panels snap into place at the edges or seams without penetrating the metal roofing material itself, creating a water-proof barrier system for your home. These seams are designed to provide greater thermal expansion and contraction flexibility and require little maintenance.
Metal roofing panels are extremely affordable at about half the cost of Standing Seam metal roofing. Combined with a quality installation and underlayment, and properly maintained, these roofs can last as long as Standing Seam roofing systems. Metal roofing panels are fastened together through the panels and directly to the roof decking. Metal roofs work well on higher-sloped roofs.
Steel is the strongest of the metal roof options and usually the least expensive. To compensate for steel’s vulnerability to moisture and rust, the steel is galvanized with an aluminum or zinc alloy. Properly installed and maintained, steel roofs can last up to 50 years.
Copper is the most expensive metal roofing but can last up to 200 years. The softer copper metal is easier for roofers to work with and shape, resulting in easier installation. If left uncoated, the gleaming copper surface changes color through natural oxidation, which some homeowners find attractive. This copper roof is shown with snow rails to protect roofing gutters.
Modern metal stamping capabilities enable roofing manufacturing companies the ability to produce creative metal shingle shapes, styles and colors. Metal shingles are produced in smaller sheets, creating a distinctive design element for your home.
