Hot Residential Roofing Trend: Metal Roofs


 
Home Improvement,Home Repair,Consumer
Metal roofing has become one of the fastest growing market segments in residential roofing today. Popular more than a century ago in the U.S., metal roofing has made resurgence of late, thanks to its high performance standards and energy efficiency.

Durability and Performance of Residential Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is generally regarded as a lifetime product. Most metal roofs come with a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser, with an extended transferrable warranty as well, in the event you sell your home. Metal is non-combustible, highly fire resistant, and because of its light weight, it minimizes chances for roof collapse in the event of an interior fire or large snow load. As for hail damage, metal actually stands up to hail better than most other roofing surfaces and it will not lose its ability to resist impact as it ages. Metal is extremely resistant to foot traffic as well. Energy Efficiency of Residential Metal Roofing

The “green” aspect of metal roofing for houses is the primary reason this product has become so popular recently. The recycled content of metal roofs may be as high as 95%, but the product is 100% recyclable if the homeowner ever elects to replace it. The product is extremely light, reducing transportation cost and extending the life of the home. Metal emits virtually no greenhouse gasses. This type of roofing product is particularly beneficial if solar panels are of interest, thanks to the relative ease with which solar panels can be affixed to metal roofs.

Cost of Residential Metal Roofing

Metal roofing products generally carry a higher up-front cost than some other products; however, other products must be replaced about every 20 years while metal roofing may never need replacement. Homeowners enjoy significant energy savings and, according to the Metal Roof Alliance, may recover approximately 85% of a metal roof’s cost upon sale of the home. Because metal roofing is rapidly gaining in popularity, homes with metal roofing have greater salability in many parts of the U.S. In other words, metal roofing is highly cost effective overall. Maintenance for metal roofs is minimal compared to other products, with some metal products requiring virtually no maintenance at all. For those roofs that come with a factory finish coating, the coating may need to be refreshed when it wears off, however a high quality product may need re-coating only every 15 years or so.

Besides these practical benefits, metal roofing is highly attractive from an aesthetic perspective. Metal roofing is available in a full spectrum of colors to complement your home’s exterior, and it can be designed in a variety of ways to match architectural styles and to comply with homeowner association requirements. There are many different types and styles of metal roofing available today, and the variety of choices may be confusing, especially if you are not familiar with the product. The best plan of action, to learn if metal roofing is right for your home, is to contact a local, licensed roofing company that provides and installs metal roofing systems for residential use. They will be able to explain the options that are available and help you determine which product is right for you and your home.
