Are you aware a metal roof won’t leak, crack or peel? And boasts the highest rating vs hurricane force winds. Well maintained metal roofs can last between 50-100 years!
It is true, a metal roof installation is more expensive than a asphalt shingle roof installation. But, after that, metal far outperforms asphalt in terms of finance. Not only will the home value be increased, but homeowner insurance will be reduced, and the home will be more energy-efficient, not needing to be replaced. So all said and done, a metal roof makes more sense money wise.
Besides metal roofing performing extremely well against violent hurricane force winds, it is also fire resistant. Metal roofing is as safe as roofing gets.
Simply put, metal roofs are 100% recycleable, no other roofing material is.
An often overlooked fact about a metal roof is it's natural reflective nature. With the roof reflecting so much of the intense Florida sunshine away it gives a major break to the AC unit, often resulting in the energy bill being reduced by up to 25% or more.
There are both a large number of colors and design schemes for metal roofing; this can allow for some impressive designs. For those looking for that extra touch, then copper is the way to go.
The term metal roofing encompasses a large range of metals. Therefore the price of a metal roof can range quite a bit as well.
Corrugated Steel - Corrugated steel roofing panels are the cheapest on the market. They are lightweight and thin, making them simple to install over an existing roof.
Standing Seam - This is the most popular type of metal roof in Coral Gables, Florida. The materials are readily available, adequately priced and feature vertical panels joined by interlocking seams.
Aluminum - In contrast to the panels you see with standing seam, aluminum comes in both shingles and tiles. Aluminum may be a bit more on the pricey side, but a well maintained aluminum roof can last 40 years or more.
Copper - Copper is the top of the line in terms of metal roofing materials. Not only does it look beautiful but can last up to 80 years or more!
Stone Coated Steel - For homeowners who want the appeal of tiles or shingles with the strength of metal stone coated steel, it is the right choice. It is offering the extensive aesthetic flexibility of tile with the durability of metal.
