When it’s time to have a new roof installed, you’re faced with the decision of what material to use. This is a roof you’ll likely rely on for at least the next few decades, so you want to make the right choice. Homeowners are increasingly choosing metal roofs because of the variety of key benefits this sturdy material provides.

The Advantages of Metal Roofs

1. Environmental Responsibility

A roof should serve as an effective insulator, and choosing the right material has a positive impact on your energy costs for the life of the roof. Metal, for example, reduces cooling costs in the summer and heating costs in the winter. This is because the reflective finish reflects solar heat and insulates from the cold. 

2. Longevity & Maintenance

The average roof’s life span is about 20 years, but consumers can expect a metal roof to last 50 years or more. Metal roofs also require little maintenance and upkeep. 

3. Cost

While metal roofing costs more than other materials, such as asphalt, it is an investment that saves a significant amount of money over the life of the roof.
