We know that investing in a new roof can be a hard decision for homeowners. We know that metal roofing can be slightly more expensive than other materials; the decision to invest in one will be worth it.
Our team at Zhumas Construction is happy to help. If you’re in the market for a new roof, it’s time to learn about the benefits of metal roofing and why this could be the perfect solution for your home.
A metal roof is a logical investment for protecting assets over the course of a building’s life. It is the ideal roof for not only many homes, but also many schools, public works, and commercial buildings. Metal roofing installation is a popular choice among our clients for various different reasons.
The Metal Roof Advantage
Longevity
A metal roof will last two to three times longer than a traditional asphalt roof. Since metal roofs weigh about one-third the weight of shingles, metal roofs save space in landfills.
While asphalt shingle roofs require re-roofing or replacement every 12 to 20 years, a metal roof can have a service life of 25 to 40 years or more! Steel and aluminum roofing panels will not decompose like a traditional shingle roof. Metal roofing is also highly wind-resistant & resilient and will withstand just about anything Mother Nature can throw at it. Homeowners won’t have to experience weather-related problems that are common to shingles and tile roofs.

The Metal Roof Advantage
Durability
Metal is one of the most lightweight materials you can put on a roof, which protects the structural integrity of the building. Tile weighs in at 750 pounds per square (an area equal to 100 square feet) or concrete can run up to 900 pounds per square. Metal roofing runs from 50 to 150 pounds per square.
Perhaps one of the biggest differences between metal roofing and shingles is the length of its life. For metal roofing, it’s expected that it should last at least 50 years until signs of degradation begin to show. Different metal materials, such as copper and zinc, have even been known to last 100 or more years in some instances.
The Metal Roof Advantage
Safety
Metal roofing is perfectly safe. It does not attract any extra attention from lightning, and just like buildings constructed with traditional building materials, any electricity from a lightning strike will be safely transferred to the ground so occupants will be unaffected.
Metal roofing is extremely popular these days, though being on top of a roof remains an activity select individuals are willing to chance. Because it can become extremely slippery when dirty or wet, walking on a metal roof is even more dangerous than other types of roofing material, such as asphalt. Whether you’re a roofer, home inspector, chimney sweeper, or insurance adjustor, safety is your number one priority before you step onto the metal surface. If you’re a homeowner, we insist you do not climb on any roofs, even if you think you can handle it. Walking on any type of roof is dangerous, which is why we’ve identified some key tips for walking on a metal roof.
The Metal Roof Advantage
Energy Efficiency
Money spent on the installation of a metal roof can be recouped from the savings in monthly cooling and heating costs thanks to this type of roof’s reflective properties. Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat instead of absorbing it, which year around, but especially during the long days of summer—can reduce cooling costs by as much as 25 percent, according to the Metal Roofing Alliance. Furthermore, some metal roofing comes coated with special reflective pigments to minimize heat gain, keeping occupants comfortable without having to crank up the air conditioner.
Metal roofing is no longer the corrugated tin roofing you imagine covering makeshift sheds or chicken coops – it’s a durable, reliable, and energy-efficient roofing solution. Made with stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, the metal roofs of today can fit all housing and commercial needs. For homeowners who are interested in the aesthetic value of a new roof, metal roofing offers a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from. For those more curious about saving energy, they’ll be happy to know that metal roofing delivers here as well.
Metal roofs reflect the suns UV and infrared light rays that contribute to roof surface radiant heat, which can result in a 10-25% reduction in cooling costs
Such a roof can be reasonably expected to be some 50 to 60 degrees cooler than a darker color asphalt shingles roof. It is best to choose a light color metal such as white, light bronze, beige, peach, light green, or blue if you live in a region that has a lot of sun and a hotter climate.
