home improvement and repair projects make an area of the home more attractive and\/or more functional.\u00a0 Very few of these types of projects, however, start paying you back quickly and can actually pay for themselves over time.\u00a0 A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/roofing-panel-types\/\">new metal roof<\/a> falls into the second category.\u00a0 Here are three reasons this is true.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Metal roofs increase the resale value of your home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to selling your home, many factors are in play.\u00a0 Where the roof is concerned, obviously buyers will be willing to pay more for a home with a roof in excellent condition than one that looks like it\u2019s going to need replacing in a few years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to some home improvement industry research studies, a high-quality roof adds up to 70 percent of its cost to the overall value of the home.\u00a0 An attractive roof is immediately seen by buyers as a valuable aesthetic.\u00a0 But more important than good looks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/residential-metal-roofing\/\">metal roofs bring other substantial benefits<\/a> \u2013 both to the minds of home buyers and to the life of the homeowner \u2013 as we\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Far less money spent on maintenance and replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Metal roofs are sturdy and long-lasting with a lifespan of 50 to 60 years or more.\u00a0 They\u2019re highly resistant to the effects of weather events like freezing\/scorching temperatures, heavy hail, snow, lightning and gale-force winds.\u00a0 All these weather events can wreak havoc on less-sturdy roofing materials, resulting in the need for expensive, ongoing repairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDisposable roofs,\u201d such as those built from popular asphalt shingles, are considered to have two lives: a functional life, and an aesthetic life.\u00a0 The functional life of a shingle roof can be 15 years, or more in the very best cases.\u00a0 When the functional life is over, a new roof is needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The aesthetic life of a shingle roof, however, usually tops out at around seven years.\u00a0 Streaking, staining and deterioration can make a once-new roof look old in less than 10 years.\u00a0 Leaks easily can begin within that time-frame, and once repairs start, there often is no end to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Savings on energy costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A third way a metal roof starts paying the homeowner back right away is through a reduction of utility bills, particularly in the summer.\u00a0 Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs act as a block against the sun\u2019s heat rather than heating up and turning the home into an oven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-70\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/strong-permatile-roof.jpg\" alt=\"gainesville fl great looking metal roof\" width=\"382\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/strong-permatile-roof.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/strong-permatile-roof-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/>Blocking heat is accomplished two ways.\u00a0 First, the surface of a new metal roof is highly reflective.\u00a0 This allows it to re-direct much of the heat from the sun rather than absorbing it.\u00a0 Second, metal roofs are installed with a \u201cthermal break,\u201d which is a small space between the new roof and the original roof deck.\u00a0 This prevents conductive heat transfer between the two surfaces.\u00a0 From the day the new metal roof is installed, homeowners begin saving money on utility bills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to know more of the reasons to consider a handsome metal
