As a growing number of consumers turn to environmentally-friendly options for their homes, metal roofs offer a range of benefits for the earth and the homeowners. Metal roofs are not only more recyclable than traditional shingles, but they also provide incredible protection from the elements: bugs, wind, pests, storms, and even fire.

After 20 years helping the homeowners in Lincoln, AL, with all their roofing repair needs, the David Perry Construction team outlines some of the many benefits a high-quality metal roof can provide: 

1. Long-Term Savings

In comparison to other types of roofing, metal roofs have unparalleled longevity. When installed properly by a certified roofing contractor, a metal roof has up to three times the typical lifespan of other roofing materials. For homeowners, this means saving on costly whole roof replacements for many years.  

2. Energy-Efficiency 

Whether you choose steel, tin, or any other metal roof, the bright reflections help to stave off the intense heat from the sun. As such, metal roofs are considered “cool” roofs and can help save you on air conditioning costs month after month. 

3. Sustainability

Compared to traditional shingles, which cannot be recycled at all, metal roofing is the perfect way to avoid unnecessary waste in the landfills. 

4. Lightweight

Metal roofs are significantly more lightweight than other roofing materials. As such, metal roofs are perfect for smaller structures, garages, and other types of roofs that can’t handle the weight of cement, cedar, or slate. 

5. Increased Property Value

Because of their incredible benefits and longevity, metal roofs can increase your home’s value anywhere from 1% to 6%. Additionally, most homeowners can also recoup nearly 100% of the total cost of the roof, which is a win-win.
