Metal Roofing Increases Home Value and Improves Look
Want to increase the value and re-sale value of your home while at the same time extending its life? If you’ve been considering upgrading your home, you should know that metal roofing is one of the quickest ways to accomplish these goals.
“Metal roofing is one of the top building materials whether you are renovating or building ground-up,” said David Lewgood, vice president, Turnkey Engineering, Construction and Roofing. “With all the added safety and longevity associated with quality metal roofing, you will not only improve its curb appeal but add years on to its life,” he added.
Used on a wide variety of homes, metal roofs provide energy savings, beauty and protection that can last a lifetime. Offered in a rainbow of colors, metal roofs can be a traditional vertical seam profile, or be manufactured to resemble wood, slate, shingles or clay tiles. While your neighbors may re-roof their home many times, a high-quality metal roof will likely be the last roof you’ll ever need. Resistant to cracking, shrinking and eroding, metal roofing systems can also withstand extreme weather conditions including hail storms.
“For those who are environmentally conscientious, you’ll do your part and save some money by choosing metal roofing,” Lewgood explained “because metal roofs can often be installed over an existing roof, eliminating the cost and impact to the environment of tear-off and disposal of traditional and asphalt shingles, which contribute an estimated 20 billion pounds of waste to U.S. landfills annually.” In addition, all metal roofs are made from 30-60% recycled material and many now incorporate reflective pigment technology that results in energy efficiency and lower utility bills.
“Last but not least, metal roofing materials are also very lightweight,” Lewgood added. “Steel roofing for residential applications is very lightweight with the heaviest product weighing about 1.5 pounds per square foot when installed.”
With all these benefits, why would you choose anything else?
