Why a metal roof might be right for you

Metal shingles in Charlotte, NC

If you want to make a long-term investment in your home or business, metal shingles might be right for your roof. They are more expensive than other shingles, but they last much longer — from 40 to 60 years, with the right maintenance. They also reflect heat better than other shingles, keeping your house cool in the summer and lowering your air-conditioning bills. They are not flammable, even if hit by lightning. And if set flush against a wooden deck, they make less noise when hit by rain, hail or tree branches than almost anything else.

Three metals often used in roofing are copper, steel and aluminum. If you do not like the look of a metal roof is not to your taste, remember that it does not have to look like a metal roof. Paint and finishing can not only give you a roof the color you want, but give it the appearance of tile, wood or asphalt.
