Choosing a metal roof comes with numerous benefits, and these advantages are further enhanced when opting to install a metal roof over existing shingles. They include:

Advantages of metal roofs in general:

• Metal roofs have increasingly become a more popular option for homeowners due to their reputation for longevity and curb appeal.
• They can last much longer than shingles. In fact, they can last for about 40-70 years depending on the material.
• They can withstand almost any type of weather condition to keep your home safe, comfortable, and dry. Rain will quickly and easily drain, and snow will be able to melt slide off easily. They can also sustain wind gusts up to 140 mph.
• Many of them also come with the ability to resist fire (whether it’s a lightning strike or a wildfire) and withstand a hail storm without taking damage.
• They can come in a wide variety of colors and finishes. These include the appearances of natural cedar shakes or stone.
• They can improve your home’s energy efficiency by reflecting solar radiant heat, which may even reduce cooling costs by 10-25%.
