Compared to conventional asphalt shingles, metal roofs are stronger, last longer, and are available in a wider selection of colors. When lighter colors are selected, this can drastically reduce attic temperatures.
While metal roofs have a higher initial cost when compared to a shingle roof, the cost over time can be much lower. Reduced utility costs, reduced insurance premiums, and less maintenance all translate into time and money saved in the long run. In some cases, government incentives and tax rebates may even be applicable to metal roof installations.
Finally, a properly installed and maintaned metal roof can literally last a lifetime, while giving you piece of mind during windstorms and other severe weather.
However, if the initial cost is your most important concern, we understand, and can refer you to competent conventional roofing contractors in your area.
