Metal roofing lasts, with a little help from you

Metal roofing in Charlotte, NC
Metal roofing in Charlotte or Concord, NC

Summer is as good a time as any to replace your roof with a metal roof. The exact price of metal roofing depends on the metal and the type of roofing. Aluminum and steel are the least expensive metals. Aluminum is lighter and more rust-resistant, but galvanized steel can withstand wind and hail better. Copper is the most durable, but also one of the most expensive. Your residential roofing company should have a price list. There are steps you can take to make sure your metal roofing will live up to its potential for endurance:
• Letting some metals touch each other — copper with aluminum or steel, for example — can corrode them, so make sure the screws holding your roofing in place are the same metal as the roofing itself.
• Don’t let housepainters use paint sprayers too close to your roof. If paint gets on your roof, it might never come off.
• Clean your gutters regularly. Don’t let them become clogged — water pooling on metal roofing will damage it.
