While the initial cost of a premium metal roof is higher than that of most other roofing materials, property owners that settle on a metal roof assembly ultimately save more money long term. A metal roof can also increase the resale value of your home or property and, in states such as Hawaii, can even lower property insurance rates by a third off average estimates.
The average life of a non-metal roof is 17 years. Asphalt may require re-roofing every 10 to 20 years, often sooner. A metal roofing system, however, offers unmatched durability, lasting two to three times longer. Between its sturdy design and weather resistant qualities, chances are good that a metal roof will be the last roof you ever install on your home. In fact, most properties that have metal roofs need to have professional roof repair completed under only the most extreme of conditions.
No matter what kind of roofing style, color or finish you have now, there’s a metal roofing style to match. Today’s metal roofing looks just like traditional roofing materials such as asphalt shingle, clay tile, cedar shake or slate. This means that you can choose to cover your home or other property in an incredibly durable roofing assembly that looks great. For a variety of great-looking examples, take a look at the thumbnails listed below.
Metal roofing in both light and dark colors reflects heat effectively to reduce cooling loads in the summer and insulate homes during the winter. This efficient design helps to lower energy bills during the most taxing times of the year, which is why it’s the type of roofing Hawaii residents often seem to choose.
The two most important factors in calculating cost are the style of roofing and the shape and pitch of your home’s roof.
