June 6, 2024
Metal roofs are gaining popularity, but some common concerns might hold you back. Let’s explore the pros, cons, and some “in-between” factors to help you decide if a metal roof is right for you.
Noise Levels
- Concern: Metal roofs might be noisier during rain or hailstorms.
- Solution: Don’t worry! Proper insulation and installation techniques, such as underlayment and solid sheathing, can significantly reduce noise levels, ensuring a quiet and comfortable home environment.
Initial Cost
- Concern: The upfront cost of metal roofing is higher than traditional materials.
- Solution: Although the initial investment is higher, you’ll save on energy bills due to their reflective properties, require minimal maintenance and last much longer, reducing replacement costs making metal roofing cost-effective over time. Many metal roofing options come with extended warranties, adding to their value and adding to your peace of mind.
Rust and Corrosion
- Concern: Metal roofs may rust or corrode, especially in humid coastal areas.
- Solution: Modern metal roofs have protective coatings that prevent rust and corrosion. Materials like galvanized steel, aluminum, and copper are highly resistant to rust, suitable for various climates.
Aesthetic Appeal
- Concern: Metal roofs might not match the aesthetic appeal of homes.
- Solution: Metal roofing comes in a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes, including designs that mimic traditional materials like shingles, slate, and tile. This variety ensures there’s a metal roofing option to complement any architectural style.
