Metal roofing is a great choice for many homeowners. It’s durable, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain. But what benefits does it have that other materials don’t for residential roofing?

Advantages of Residential Metal Roofing and Siding

Metal roof systems are resilient, look good on any home, and come with many advantages for homeowners. For example, metal roofing lasts longer than other roofs because it won’t crack, leak or degrade with age at the rate that asphalt roofs do. This means you won’t need to replace your metal roof as often as someone who has an asphalt shingle roof. 

Cost Efficient

Residential metal roofs are cost efficient in the long term. A metal roofing system is low maintenance and can last decades, which means that it will be cheaper over time than other materials like traditional asphalt shingles or tile roofs. This saves homeowners money in the long run!

Energy Savings

Another advantage is energy efficiency. MetalMax metal roofing and siding panels reflect more of the sun’s rays which lowers roof surface temperatures and decreases the amount of heat transferred into the building, reducing the amount of air conditioning required to cool the inside space.

Not only does a metal roof system help you save on your monthly bill, but it also helps protect the environment and make your home more comfortable in hot or cold weather.  With a metal roofing system optimized for energy efficiency, you’ll enjoy long-term cost savings on your energy bill while also joining in on the environmentally- friendly move.

Variety

Steel roofing panels come in a variety of styles, gauges and colors, each with corresponding trim shapes in matching colors.  MetalMax produces residential metal roofing in both through-fastened and standing seam styles, so we have options that will suit a range of homeowner budgets or desired home appearances and designs.

If you’re looking for the perfect color or pattern, metal is an excellent choice because it can accommodate a wide variety of roof shapes and comes in a range of colors that will satisfy most needs and preferences.

Increased Home Value

High quality metal roofing from MetalMax can even increase the value or selling speed of your home because it’s a desirable feature due to its longevity, durability, enhanced curb appeal and energy efficiency. 

Durability

Metal roof panels are also made with quality materials that can combat the elements and protect homes from extreme weather such as heavy snow, hail and rain storms. A residential metal roof is made from heavy gauge polymer-coated steel with superior impact resistance.  

Metal roofs will last for decades. If you’re looking to save money in the long run, metal is definitely a choice worth considering. Steel roofs can also provide homeowners with significant value for their money when it comes to energy efficiency and the ability to save on cooling costs during hot summer months.  

Appearance

Metal roofing has come a long way since it was first introduced years ago. When compared with traditional shingle or tile roofs, most homeowners prefer the aesthetic curb appeal of metal roofing with its sleek and modern design that will give any home size a premium appearance.

Professional Installation

Metal roofs are also a great choice for homeowners who want to save money on their next renovation project, as metal can be installed by a professional roofing contractor on top of as many as two layers of asphalt roofing without any tear-off required (as long as roof decking is in good condition).  It is important to contract a roofing professional that’s experience in installing metal roofs to evaluate the job and perform the work correctly.
