Metal roofing strong enough for the weather

Metal roofing can stand punishment

Metal roofing in Charlotte, NC
Once again, North Carolina finds itself waiting to see what a hurricane will do. With any luck, Matthew will turn west and leave the Charlotte and Concord, NC area unharmed. But all of North Carolina east of the mountains is a little prone to hurricanes. Few types of roofing hold up better than metal. According to the Metal Roofing Association, non-metal roofs last an average of 17 years, but metal roofing can last 40 to 60 years or more with proper maintenance, and a standing seam roof is especially leak-resistant. A metal roof can cut homeowners’ insurance premiums by up to 35 percent in some states.
