Residential Metal Roof Replacement and Installation
Metal Roof Benefits:
WHY METAL ROOFS ARE SO POPULAR
We believe metal roofs are the absolute best choice for new residential roofs and roof replacements. If you are having trouble deciding between metal roofing or traditional asphalt shingles, here are 7 benefits for roofing guidance:
1
Life Span
Metal roofs lasts 50 years or more which makes them better for the environment. Traditional asphalt shingle roofs need to be replaced every 12 – 15 years.
2
Aesthetics
Metal Roofs come in a wide variety of colors and style options to choose from to complement any home elevation design elements.
3
Durability
Metal roofs are made of durable materials such as steel and aluminum which have long life spans. Metal roofs are weather resistant and can endure heavy rain, storms, and even winds up to 160 miles per hour.
4
Energy Efficiency
Metal roofs are Energy star rated (save up to 40% on your energy bill) by reflecting solar energy which keeps your house cool and energy costs down.
5
Low Maintenance
Metal roofs require little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and inspection. They do not rot, warp, curl, or crack like asphalt shingles.
6
Sustainability
Metal roofs are 100% recyclable! It is estimated that 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles end up in landfills each year.
7
Investment Roi
Though the initial cost of metal roofing is slightly higher than asphalt shingles, metal roofing is a better investment in the long run and provides a much higher ROI.

Our roofing installation experts will work with you to help you decide which roofing system and roof material along with color choices that would be best for your home style, location, and budget.
Types of Metal Roofing Material Options for Residential
When you hear the phrase “metal roof,” your thoughts likely go towards a steel roof, but the term encompasses a much larger variety of materials. Depending on your location and environment, the type of material will be a crucial first step in deciding which direction to go.
Copper Roofing
Extremely long-lasting roof that will develop a protective layer and change color. One of the best roofing materials for coastal areas.
Zinc Roofing
A very long-lasting roofing material, resistant to corrosion and that will patina and change color.
Aluminum Roofing
Lightweight, but durable, and long lasting, resistant to salt water corrosion, and compatible with coastal environments.
Metal or Steel
Steel roofing, available in several finishes, comes in three main types: galvanized, galvalume, and weathering steel. It is the most affordable metal roofing option, thanks to steel being an alloy primarily composed of iron. Notably, steel's high recyclability and widespread availability mean that much of it is produced from recycled materials, making it a highly eco-friendly building choice.
