\"galviumWhen it\u2019s time to replace your\u00a0roof, you\u2019re going to have a lot of options.\u00a0\u00a0While you\u2019ll find zealous supporters of every type of roofing\u00a0material\u00a0available, only one material backs up its supporters\u2019 claims with unmatched value,\u00a0durability and beauty.\u00a0\u00a0Welcome to the\u00a0world of\u00a0metal roofing.<\/p>\n

There are many good reasons to\u00a0consider building with metal roofing.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Here are six of the most convincing.<\/p>\n

1. Lifecycle value for metal roofs & more<\/h2>\n

A study a few years ago compared\u00a0three different roofing systems, each on 12 different buildings.\u00a0\u00a0The roofs averaged 92,000 square feet,\u00a0and\u00a0the three materials were metal, asphalt and single-ply.\u00a0\u00a0A previous study gave metal roofs a life\u00a0expectancy of 40 years on average,\u00a0compared with 23 years for asphalt and just\u00a020 years for single-ply.\u00a0\u00a0The newer study\u00a0went further:<\/p>\n

Metal roofs<\/h3>\n

Lifecycle costs:\u00a0.30\u00a0cents per sq. ft. per yr.<\/p>\n

% of installed costs spent on maintenance:\u00a03.5%<\/p>\n

Asphalt roofs<\/h3>\n

Lifecycle costs:\u00a0.37\u00a0cents per sq. ft. per yr.<\/p>\n

% of installed costs spent on maintenance:\u00a028.5%<\/p>\n

Single-ply roofs<\/h3>\n

Lifecycle costs:\u00a0.57\u00a0cents per sq. ft. per yr.<\/p>\n

% of installed costs spent on maintenance:\u00a019.0%<\/p>\n

2. Ultimate metal roof durability<\/h2>\n

One of the reasons metal roofs\u00a0have extremely long lifespans is a construction process that allows for the\u00a0normal expansion and\u00a0contraction across years of seasonal cycles.\u00a0\u00a0Another reason is because it\u2019s pretty hard to\u00a0destroy a professionally installed metal roof.\u00a0\u00a0These roofs hold up amazingly well in gale-force winds, pounding rains\u00a0and destructive hail storms.<\/p>\n

3. Savings on utility costs<\/h2>\n

Most people think metal roofs act\u00a0as heat traps on top of a home.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0truth is just the opposite.\u00a0\u00a0Light-colored metal roofs actually\u00a0reflect\u00a0the\u00a0burning rays of the sun away from the home, keeping the structure cooler in\u00a0the hot summer months.\u00a0\u00a0The result is\u00a0less need to run air\u00a0conditioning systems.\u00a0\u00a0(And by running AC systems less,\u00a0their\u00a0lifespan will be lengthened, meaning even less cost to the homeowner.)<\/p>\n

4. Eco-friendly<\/h2>\n

Because metal is a valuable\u00a0recyclable material, when it\u2019s finally time to replace it, the removed roof sections\u00a0can be re-used for a wide\u00a0range of applications.\u00a0\u00a0Unlike asphalt shingles and most other\u00a0roofing materials, metal roofs don\u2019t end up in already packed landfills.<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Sustainable beauty<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s metal roofs are available\u00a0in a full palette of colors from conservative and traditional to eye-catching\u00a0and unique.\u00a0\u00a0With minimal\u00a0maintenance,\u00a0your roof will keep on looking great for decades, while other roofing materials\u00a0can begin showing signs of aging in just a few\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

\"metal6. Increase in home value<\/h2>\n

When you sell your home, many\u00a0buyers will appreciate the value of a new home with a sturdy metal roof.\u00a0\u00a0They know maintenance and\u00a0repair will be\u00a0minimal, they know it\u2019s going to look good for a long time, and they know that\u00a0they won\u2019t be looking at an expensive re-roofing\u00a0project right around the\u00a0corner.\u00a0\u00a0All of this adds perceived value\u00a0to a home for sale.<\/p>\n
