\"metalIt\u2019s not hard to understand why metal roofing materials<\/a> are becoming more popular among U.S. homeowners.\u00a0 But in case you haven\u2019t heard about the multitude of advantages of metal roofs compared with traditional roofs, you\u2019ll want to check this out.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Re-roofing expense<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Over a 60-year period, asphalt shingle roofs will need replacing four or five times.\u00a0 After 60 years, a sturdy metal roof may have another decade or two in it.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Maintenance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Metal roofs are virtually maintenance-free<\/a>, saving the homeowner huge amounts of time and expense over the years.\u00a0 Asphalt shingles are very high-maintenance, especially after eight or so years.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Deterioration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Asphalt roofs quickly begin losing their nice appearance because of de-granulation, curling and streaking.\u00a0 This detracts from the overall beauty of the home.\u00a0 Metal roofs, on the other hand, often come with 30-year warranties against fading.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Resale value<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          According to Metal Roofing Alliance Magazine<\/em>, homes with metal roofs recoup, upon sale, as much as 85 percent of the roof\u2019s cost.\u00a0 Recoup upon sale for asphalt roofs: zero.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Heat reflection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            During the hot summers, metal roofs actually reflect<\/em> the burning rays of the sun, keeping the home noticeably cooler.\u00a0 Cooling costs can drop by 25 percent or more with a metal roof.\u00a0 On the other side, asphalt shingle roofs absorb the heat and act as a hot blanket over the home.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Wind<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              In high winds, asphalt shingles can lift off the roof and blow into the sky.\u00a0 The interlocking installation system of metal roofs keeps them secure in winds 120 miles per hour and higher.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Eco-friendly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Asphalt single roofs need replacing often, and the scraps of the torn-off roofs end up in landfills.\u00a0 Many millions of tons of asphalt are dumped in landfills each year.\u00a0 Metal roofing material, however, is recyclable, making it a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Hail damage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  The majority of asphalt shingles come with a Class I hail rating.\u00a0 Metal roofing material comes with a Class IV rating \u2013 the highest hail-impact rating in the industry.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Good looks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Metal roofs are available in a wide variety of colors and styles, setting them instantly apart from the surrounding roofs in the neighborhood.\u00a0 Asphalt shingles look like business-as-usual, while metal roofs look unique and classy.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Warranty transfer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      It\u2019s unusual to find an asphalt roofing material manufacture that allows transfer of their warranties.\u00a0 Most metal roofing makers provide a 40-year warranty that is completely transferable at no cost to the new owner.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Snow shedding<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Asphalt roofs tend to retain snow, meaning they often need shoveling.\u00a0 Additionally, constant dampness on the roof leads to faster deterioration.\u00a0 Metal roofs allow snow to slide off quickly, meaning little if any shoveling and no roof rot.<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. \"melbourneQuiet<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Because metal roofs are installed over a preexisting roof with a space between, they\u2019re amazingly quiet during thunderous rainstorms.\u00a0 Asphalt shingle roofs bring all the noise right into the home.<\/p>\n
