\"MakingWhen it comes to longevity, it\u2019s hard to beat today\u2019s metal roofing systems. The long life of these roofs is one of the main reasons people go with metal when it\u2019s time to add a new roof. How long a metal roof will last is a big factor to look at in making your decision, but also take into consideration what a given roof could cost you over its lifespan.<\/p>\n

The lifespan of a metal roof<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s common for metal roofing systems to come with warranties of 35 or 40 years. The truth is, metal roofs commonly outlast their warranties by 10 or more years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Metal is a strong material<\/a>, highly resistant to damage from hail, winds, extreme temperatures, fires and other elements that can affect how long a roof lasts. For this reason, you should expect many decades of outstanding service from a new, properly installed metal roof.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Roof repairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Because of the strength and stability of metal roofing materials, you won\u2019t need to engage in a regular schedule of roof repairs like you do with traditional asphalt, clay tile and other roofing products.<\/p>\n

Roof repair is expensive, and it adds up over the life of a roof. Lightning strikes, driving hailstorms, water damage, powerful winds and much more can cause serious damage to most types of roofs. With a sturdy metal roof, these are issues that won\u2019t cost you money over and over again.<\/p>\n

In case of fire<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Making<\/p>\n

In the unlikely event of a house fire, a metal roof will not combust and cave in the way most other roofs will. During a fire, a traditional asphalt roof significantly increases the danger and potential for destruction if it catches fire. A prolonged fire can damage metal, but it won\u2019t engulf the roof and set it ablaze.<\/p>\n

Metal roof maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While metal roofs are ultra-strong and long-lasting, it doesn\u2019t mean that some maintenance won\u2019t be required. However, if the roofing material you purchase includes the various coatings (anti-rust, reflectivity, waterproofing, anti-corrosion and the like) offered by metal roofing manufacturers, maintenance should be minimal over the roof\u2019s lifespan. Fixing loose seams and fasteners is a common maintenance task owners of metal roofs must arrange for. This job is very important in keeping the roof sound and preventing water leaks and wind damage.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Heat-reduction \u2013 another factor in metal roofs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A final consideration in the value\/longevity of a metal roof is the special reflective coating that can be applied to your roof. This coating is able to reflect up to 87% of the sun\u2019s heat, meaning your home\u2019s interior will stay much cooler in the summer and require less use of your AC system. Most roofing materials do just the opposite: they attract and retain heat<\/em>, which you have to deal with by keeping the air conditioner on for longer periods during the hot months.<\/p>\n

As you can see, when we talk about how long a metal roof will last, we\u2019re looking at many factors that affect what happens during the roof\u2019s lifespan.
