FAQs
What are the benefits of metal roofing over traditional shingles?
Metal roofing offers numerous benefits including durability, longevity, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather conditions. Metal roofs can last 50 years or more, compared to around 20 years for traditional shingles. They also reflect sunlight, reducing cooling costs in the summer.
How does metal roofing perform in extreme weather conditions?
Metal roofing is exceptionally durable and performs well in extreme weather conditions. It is resistant to high winds, heavy snowfall, and hail. Metal roofs are also fire-resistant, making them a safer option in areas prone to wildfires.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not significantly noisier than other types of roofing. Proper installation includes insulation and underlayment, which dampens noise, making the sound of rain or hail no more noticeable than it is with asphalt shingles.
What maintenance is required for metal roofing?
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Regular inspections to check for debris, loose fasteners, and sealant condition are recommended. Occasional cleaning to remove dirt and organic growth will keep the roof looking its best.
Does a metal roof affect home value?
Yes, metal roofs can positively affect home value. Their durability, longevity, and energy efficiency are attractive features for potential buyers, potentially increasing the resale value of your home. Additionally, metal roofs are often seen as a modern and stylish choice.
Can I install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
In many cases, metal roofs can be installed over existing shingles, which can save time and money. However, it is important to have a professional roofer assess the condition of your current roof to ensure it can support the new metal roofing without issues.
