Metal Roofing

Why should you choose Metal Roofing?

Many Historical Buildings in the US were originally built with a metal roof and in recent years metal roofing has become popular again by many homeowners. Metal roofing is an expense and should be researched when making the decision to replace your existing roof or adding it to your newly constructed home because not all metal roof is created equally. There are many styles of panels and colors to choose from as well as the gauge of the metal. These factors are important depending on the location of your home and if you are in a coastal area or more inland. It is important to weigh the pros and cons of metal versus other conventional roofing materials such as tile, wood or asphalt. Metal roofing is designed to withstand windstorms, snow and rain and it is resistant to mildew, fire, insect infestation and rot. When you roof is properly installed and taken care of should last as long as the house.
