Benefits of a Metal Roof

Metal roofs come with a myriad of benefits, including:

  • Durability: You can count on metal roofs to withstand the elements—including gusts of wind up to 140 miles per hour—and not corrode or crack thanks to rust-proof coatings.
  • Longevity: A properly installed metal roof will last as long as the house, with an expected lifespan of 40 to 70 years and, often. (By contrast, traditional asphalt roofing typically lasts 12 to 20 years.)
  • Sustainability: Metal roofs can be fully recycled at the end of their service life, with materials such as steel able to do so without losing strength or durability.

As you see, metal roofs can be a great choice for your home.

 

Cons Of a Metal Roof

All roofs come with some downsides. For metal roofs this includes:

  • Noisy: Unless sheathed or insulated, (which can add to the total cost of your roof) metal roofing can add increasing noise to your home, particularly during rain and thunderstorms.
  • Upfront Costs: Higher-end metal roofing materials can run over 10 times the cost of asphalt, and that’s not taking installation costs into account.

Despite these cons, many people find that metal roofs are the right choice for their homes.

There are two main types of metal roof to choose from. At Zhumas Construction, we are experts in installing both.

Corrugated Metal Roofing

  • Galvanized steel rolled into a pattern.

  • Corrugation runs perpendicular to steel grooves to enhance strength.

  • Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easily transported.
  • Directs water off of your roof.
