If you’re replacing the roof on your home, barn, or shed, or building a new structure, you might be feeling overwhelmed by the available options for roofing materials. You want a roof that will protect your structure and look great. Consider the advantages of metal roofing, an attractive and practical choice that works with many home styles.

4 Advantages of Metal Roofing

1. Fire Safety

Most metal roofing has a Class A fire rating, making it one of your safest choices when it comes to withstanding a fire. Roof cave-ins are a serious risk during a fire, but a metal roof is a lightweight, secure option. When installed over shingles, the fire rating is downgraded, so talk to your roofer about your options.  

2. Simple Installation

A contractor familiar with metal roofing installation will be able to replace your roof quickly and efficiently, as it uses fewer individual parts than other roof types. This is an advantage if your roof is damaged or blown off during a storm.   

3. Weather Resistance

Metal roofs are highly leak-resistant, which is vital if you live in an area with large amounts of snow or rainfall. Snow and rain slide off a metal roof with ease because it’s slippery, and the interlocking panels prevent water from getting into your structure.

4. Lifespan

You probably don’t want to spend your time or money replacing your roof frequently. When you choose metal roofing, you’re choosing a durable, long-lasting material. Your metal roof will last 40-70 years, which is far longer than traditional asphalt roofs that only last up to 20 years.

Your home is only as safe and secure as your roof. Talk to a contractor about protecting your family and your investment with metal roofing when it’s time to replace your roof.
