4 Reasons to Install a Metal Roof!

 When it comes time to replace your roof, one of the first things you will need to decide is which type of material you would like to have put on. You've got a few options for material, all of which have their pros and cons. This week would like to share with you a few of the benefits of installing a metal roof! 




1. Metal Lasts a Lifetime. 


When comparing roofing materials, metal wins on the longevity front. Most metal roofs will last a lifetime, even though they are usually warrantied for 50 years. Asphalt shingles typically need to be replaced every 25-30 years or so. While metal roofing is a larger expense upfront than asphalt shingles, when you spread the cost over the life of the material, a metal roof could end up being less expensive in the long run.

2. Metal is Extremely Durable. 


When it comes to durability, you can trust a metal roof to hold up. Metal roofing can withstand harsh weather conditions better than other types of roofing material. Some metal roofs can sustain wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour, and some metals are even impact-resistant.

3. Metal is Practically Maintenance Free. 


Unlike many other roofing materials, metal roofs are practically maintenance-free. Therefore, you'll save money on the upkeep. That savings could offset the upfront difference you pay for the metal roofing compared to other materials. However, just because they don't need as much regular maintenance, doesn't mean they don't require regular roof inspections by a roofing professional at the Lake of the Ozarks.




4. Metal Can Reduce Your Energy Usage. 


Installing a metal roof could save you up to 25% on your cooling costs compared to asphalt shingles. This is due to the fact that metal roofs reflect sunlight, reducing your attic and overall roof temperatures. This can reduce your cooling costs during the hotter months.

Finding the right contractor can be challenging, but these 3 tips can help you make the right choice. 1. Avoid Storm Chasing Salesmen During storm season, you may see roofing companies soliciting their services in areas that the storm seemed to affect the most. They will come to your door saying that they can see storm damage on your roof and will insist on you getting it repaired right away. The sales person will ask you to sign a letter of intent to try and lock you into paying for services they have not even bid yet. Once the company comes out to big, you’ll find you’re being charged for the most expensive products on the market. These companies survive on storm chasing and tricking you into paying any price...
