Your roof is the first and most important line of defense against damage from wind, water, pests, and sun. However, roofing is also one of those responsibilities that many property owners don’t think about until a problem occurs. Even fewer realize the many options available when it comes to roofing materials.
Metal roofs have become more popular for residential and commercial projects due to the quality of performance and durability they provide. A metal roof can be made to imitate a look similar to other types of roofs, too, so there’s no aesthetic sacrifice, and they’re easy to maintain once installed.
Below are some of the biggest advantages of metal roofing to your property.
Durability
If you are living near coastal areas, you are fully aware of the damage hurricanes and tropical storms can cause to a structure. You need to protect your investment and feel safe in your home during extreme weather.
Metal roofing can withstand wind gustiness better than other roofing materials. Since a metal roof is non-porous, it can also resist leaks, moisture damage, and rot.
Our certified roofers can go over the best roofing choices for your property. We are trained in the installation and inspection of these protective roofs, leaving you feeling safe and secure in good weather and bad.
Energy Efficient
Metal roofing panels can keep your home cooler through proper venting implementation. Moreover, metal roofs can be highly effective and emissive. Reflective materials act to bounce light away from your roof, while emissivity refers to the heat energy that is radiated away from the material.
Pest Protection
Nobody likes pest infestation. Metal roofing is unattractive to these creatures, as it’s impossible for them to penetrate, serving as a protective barrier between you and these pests.
Aesthetics
Metal roofing comes in a wide variety of options. It can imitate the aesthetics of wood shake, slate, asphalt, or tile. These comprehensive options in the look of your roof allow you to achieve the look that you want without sacrificing any of the benefits of metal roofing materials.
