Consider a metal roof for long service life
Either environmental concerns or the desire to increase the service life of their roof has many homeowners considering metal roofing installation. Asphalt roofs typically last about 15 to 20 years. Although metal roofing is more expensive than asphalt and composite shingles, it lasts much longer, with a life span of 40-60 years.

Great for the environment
Unfortunately, over 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles end up in American landfills every year. We now understand the long term effects of even degradable product in landfills. The millions of tons of shingles that end up in a landfill each year will remain there for 300 years. Roughly 56 percent of the steel in a metal roof is recycled. In many cases, a metal roof can be installed over your existing roof; saving the landfill, and helping to preserve the environment.
