For over nine years, Honolulu has turned to 3-D Sheetmetal for its metal fabrication, metal roofing, and HVAC needs. Allow the benefit of their experience and expertise to inform you on the advantages of metal roofing for your property.

One reason to go with metal roofing over other types is for the variety from which to choose: tin, aluminum, copper, zinc, and galvanized steel. These different types of metal allow you some flexibility in price, style, and durability for what you are trying to buy - a decided advantage over other roofing types.

Metal roofing is renowned for its durability. They are known to last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material type. By comparison, asphalt roofs top out at around 20 years before they need a replacement. Also, metal roofs can withstand strong winds and require less general maintenance & upkeep.

By reflecting solar heat, metal roofing is energy efficient, reducing cooling costs considerably. There is a hidden safety component as well, as the metal roof can protect a home in the event of a lightning strike.

There are a few issues with metal roofing, however. With the added durability of metal comes the added expense versus asphalt. Metal roofing generates more noise during heavy rainfall compared to traditional roofing. Still, these are small prices to pay for the overall long-term benefits of metal roofing.

Covering the island of Oahu, 3-D Sheetmetal is here to take care of your property's transition to metal roofing, along with any HVAC services you may require.
