Metal roofing saves over the
long term
Despite
its expense, metal roofing is a good long-term investment for a homeowner or
real estate investor. Well maintained, a metal roof lasts 40 to 60 years in
spite of wind, hail and lightning, and will never catch fire. It’s more reflective than asphalt, so it
doesn’t heat up as much as shingles on sunny days. This saves power and lowers
AC bills. The Metal Roofing Association says it can cut homeowners’ insurance
premiums by up to 35 percent in some states.
But
to install metal roofing (especially standing seam metal roofing and other
forms of roofing very different from shingles or tiles) you need workers with a
particular set of skills, so the resulting roof will keep out the water and the
sound of rain. When you need to contract out a metal roofing job to a local
roofer, you’ll want more than just their word that they know how to do the
work.
