Metal roof installation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As noted above, there are many\u00a0advantages with a metal roof, but to enjoy them, the\u00a0installation has to be\u00a0done right.\u00a0\u00a0That means by a\u00a0professional, not by some buddies\u00a0you round up for the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0Professional metal roof installers understand\u00a0all the\u00a0complexities of a roofing project including but not limited to these\u00a0four key areas of\u00a0installation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Measurement of wind loads and selection of the\u00a0right product in this regard<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Drainage angles to ensure no water sits or pools\u00a0on the roof structure<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Flashing and curbs, which create water-tight\u00a0seals throughout the roof<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Insulation and condensation-control to separate\u00a0external temperatures from the home\u2019s\u00a0internal temperature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">2. Long lifespan roofing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">There is no other roofing\u00a0material available that will outlast and out-perform metal.\u00a0\u00a0Most\u00a0metals used for roofs are highly\u00a0resistant to rust, corrosion, algae growth, hail, intense\u00a0heat and cold and\u00a0gale-force winds.\u00a0\u00a0You should expect your\u00a0new roof to last 50 to 60 or\u00a0more years with only minimal maintenance required\u00a0during that time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">3. Lowered cooling bills<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">When you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/energy-savings\/\">ENERGY\u00a0STAR\u00ae-rated metal roof installed, you\u2019re guaranteed to\u00a0experience cooler\u00a0interior temperatures<\/a> during the hottest months of the summer.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0reflective coating applied to metal\u00a0roofing materials does as the name implies \u2013 it\u00a0reflects\u00a0heat away from the roof, with the result of up to 25% less\u00a0cost for cooling.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">4. Roofing that&#8217;s friendly to the environment<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The average metal roofing panel\u00a0today is made of 95% post-consumer (recycled)\u00a0material.\u00a0\u00a0That means metal roofs do not pull any\u00a0resources from our earth.\u00a0\u00a0It also\u00a0means\u00a0that when the roof finally has breathed its last breath, most or all of the\u00a0material\u00a0can head to recycling and be used again, rather than going to\u00a0landfills to join hundreds\u00a0of millions of tons of old asphalt shingle roofs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">5. ROI<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Metal roofs bring an excellent\u00a0return-on-investment.\u00a0\u00a0Most experts agree\u00a0that the\u00a0average homeowner who has a metal roof properly installed would recoup\u00a085% or\u00a0more of the cost of the roof upon sale.\u00a0\u00a0That translates into the homeowner actually\u00a0absorbing about 15% of the\u00a0total cost of the roof.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-137\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/rebekah-smith-100_5183.jpg\" alt=\"beautiful panel metal roofs in the orlando tampa fl area\" width=\"413\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/rebekah-smith-100_5183.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/rebekah-smith-100_5183-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.advaluminum.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/rebekah-smith-100_5183-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/>6.
