Superior Roofing
Is metal roofing a better long-term value than shingles?
Although metal roofing typically has a higher initial installation cost compared to shingles, it offers superior longevity and requires fewer repairs or replacements over time. Traditional asphalt shingle roofs generally last 12 to 20 years, depending on maintenance and weather exposure. In contrast, metal roofs can last 40 to 60 years and need less maintenance, making them a more economical option throughout the roof's lifetime.Do metal roofs attract heat and increase energy costs?
Metal roofing reflects a significant portion of the sun's heat and energy rather than attracting it. Unlike traditional shingles that absorb solar heat, metal roofing can lower cooling costs by up to 20%. This is achieved through special pigmented coatings on contemporary metal roof panels that reflect solar energy and release any absorbed heat during the day.Is metal roofing more prone to hail damage?
