Pros and cons of metal roofing 

We always encourage people to go over the cons and pros of roof options in order to know if they are making the right and best decision. For metal roofs, we will start right here with you. In this way, you can have basic and crucial knowledge about any of the systems available and why you should or not—mostly should—install one for your property. First, metal roofing comes with more benefits than anything else. This is something you can keep in mind all the time since it means the pros will always be more than the cons:

• It is lightweight.
• Easy to install.
• Durable.
• Long-lasting.
• Cost-efficient.
• It works perfectly with any climate or weather.
• It does not have to been mandatorily replaced after several years.
• You have different materials and options from where you can choose when it comes to design, style, metal, and needs.

The fact that any of these systems regardless of the final material you choose are light, makes the task of working with them quite enjoyable and not difficult at all. Yes, the main reason why they are easy to install is definitely their weight and how they can be manipulated into different shapes thanks to cutting and bending. Now, unlike what most people believe, metal roofs can last for over 60 years if they are well-taken care of and properly repaired when it is needed. When you compare the life-cycle with the rest, you will notice it doubles or even triples the life-cycle of materials such as slate or clay. And, one of the most important parts for our clients: the cost.

A metal roof can be expensive, let’s make this clear before anything else. But that is just if you go for the most expensive option and installation service. Metal roofing systems come in regular, standard, and premium options just like most roofs, and you do not need the premium one most of the time when the rest can provide the same benefits when a proper installation is performed. Therefore, no, you will not spend a fortune in installation nor repairs and re-roofing. As for the rest, we have to clarify a few details:

• Metal roofs stand heavy rains and snow while also being resistant to hot weathers with the right coating.
• They are not noisy since it can be dealt with by adding an extra element which is usually included in the installation.
• They are energy-efficient and eco-friendly since recycling most of the roof is possible and helps to cool down properties.

Moving onto the cons of installing this roof, we will be quite short. But this is good news. We do not want to lie about metal roofs being perfect since everything has perks. However, we are sure you will love it despite the cons they bring with them:

• Expansion and contraction are common in some metal materials.
• Inconsistency of color match.
• It can dent.
• It will be more expensive than other options.

Before you get confused with the last cons, let us explain it further. We already mentioned you have a large variety of options and you do not have to spend a fortune for a metal roof. But keep in mind it may be more expensive if you compare it with options such as asphalt. In this case, the longevity and durability of the roofing system are what will determine what you need. Asphalt will always be cheaper than metal, but metal is incredibly cost-competitive when it comes to other materials. And, in the long-term, you obtain better results in the present and future.

Yes, it will be an investment if you compare it with the cheapest options, but our company will make sure to find the most cost-efficient system for your budget, needs, and desires. That being cleared, the rest of the cons can be handled with proper installation and choices. Expansion and contraction are not common when you go for the right material. Among those, you have steel, copper, aluminum, and zinc—tin is also known but not commonly used nowadays. You can go for the proper one depending on the climate of the city or community plus adding the right coating layer. The inconsistency of color is a minor problem and our company makes sure to always provide the perfect match when repairing, replacing, or maintaining the roof for you.

The denting part is probably the worse of your worries. However, options such as stone-coated steel roofing can prevent it even more if you are not willing to take the risk with others. Keep in mind they are not common whatsoever. Unless something really heavy falls in your roof, there is no chance for this to happen. And other roofing systems could give you worse situations since many of them would break due to a heavy object.
