Financial Benefits of a Metal Roof

Metal roofs are increasing in popularity. Although the initial material costs are higher (as compared to asphalt shingles), metal roofing offers several long-term financial advantages, including:
  • Lower roof maintenance costs
  • Additional time between roof replacements
  • Lower energy bills
  • Solar panel friendly
Lower Roof Maintenance Costs
Maintenance-free lifetime metal roofing is possible. When installed correctly, metal roofing is considered more durable than shingle roofing, and it requires little to no maintenance. There will not be leaks due to shifting or cracking shingles, and no discoloration or fading. A metal roof is designed to sustain high winds and other severe weather conditions, so you are less likely to face repairs after a storm.
Additional Time Between Roof Replacements
If you’re lived in your home for an extended period of time, you’ve replaced your shingle roof at least once, if not more. While opinions (and individual roofs!) vary, most asphalt shingle roofs have a project lifetime of 15-25 years. Metal roofing lasts for longer than asphalt shingles, with a projected roof lifetime of 40-70 years, depending on the specific metal. If you are planning to live in your home indefinitely, the savings from fewer replacements can be significant.
Lower Energy Bills
The majority of roofs do not reduce your energy costs. The way it interacts with sunlight is what makes metal different from other roofing materials. Asphalt, the most popular roofing material today, can absorb heat from the sun, resulting in higher energy bills.
Contrarily, metal roofs reflect heat from the sun, which can reduce the heating and cooling of your home. Your energy bills can be reduced by as much as 20 percent, an additional long-term savings opportunity over asphalt shingles.
Solar Panel Friendly
Solar panels are more efficient with metal than other roof materials. Solar panels can be installed using brackets or clamps on a metal roof. If your roof is installed properly, you will not need to replace it when the time comes to upgrade or replace solar panels.
