Why Metal Roofing?

If you are planning on replacing your roof, you may want to consider going with a metal roof. For years, people have just gone with what they know in traditional asphalt roofing without fully researching the many benefits that metal roofing can provide. In this post, we will explain some of the main benefits to give you better insight when making the decision.

The first benefit of a metal roof is longevity. Unlike asphalt shingles that need to be replaced ever 20 years, a metal roof can last up to 40+ years. While they are more expensive you can see that they will last you twice as long as a traditional roof.

The second benefit of a metal roof is durability. Metal is stronger than asphalt material, so it does a better job at protecting your home against wind and falling debris. Because it does not absorb water, it can also protect your home’s structure against water damage from heavy rains or big snow storms like we see here in New Hampshire.

Another benefit of a metal roof is their weight. Metal roofs are about one-third the weight of asphalt shingles, meaning less stress on your home’s structure. This also means that in some cases, we are able to install the new metal roof right on top of your existing asphalt roof saving time and money.

Finally, metal roofs are better for the environment. Since they don’t need to be replaced as often, they produce less waste than shingles. They can also reduce energy consumption because they reflect the sun’s rays saving you on higher utility bills.
