STYLE OF METAL ROOFS

Metal roofs are adaptable to nearly any home and roof design. There are metal roof options for steep and low pitch roofs. Available products look like tile, slate, and wood shakes.

There is metal roofing suitable for arched or rounded roofs. Difficult areas such as transitions, dead valleys, and flashing can be flashed with metal that matches rather than rely on failure-prone sealant used with many roofing materials.

The styles and colors of traditional roofing materials tend to change frequently. Matching older products is difficult if a home is modified or added unto in any way. The majority of metal roofing manufacturers are consistent with their colors and designs. Homeowners know they will be able to match materials at a later date.

The surface finish provides beauty and durability. There are some factors to consider when choosing a metal roof finish. Two types of paint chemistry are used on metal roofs.

Proper metal roofing installation along with quality metal ends periodic drains on the budget for roof maintenance or repair. Most metal roofs interconnect or interlock in some way. The configuration provides superior wind resistance when compared to other roofing materials that merely overlap or rely on being held in place by gravity.

ANY DISADVANTAGES?

A disadvantage of metal roofs may be their curb appeal. The roofs tend to be highly visible. Metal roofs attract people that are interested in them and they will want to talk to you about it.
