Metal Roof
Metal roofs are known for their extreme longevity, often lasting
40 to 70 years, and their ability to reflect heat to lower energy bills.
Steel Roofing: The most common metal type, steel is strong, affordable, and comes in various finishes to resist rust. It’s a great all-around performer for most climates.
Aluminum Roofing: Highly recommended for coastal areas because it does not corrode or rust when exposed to salt spray. It is lightweight but softer than steel, meaning it may dent more easily during hail.
Standing Seam Metal: This premium style features vertical panels with concealed fasteners, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks. It has a sleek, modern look and handles thermal expansion well.
Corrugated Metal: Often the most affordable metal option, these panels have a wavy or ribbed pattern. They use exposed fasteners, which require more long-term maintenance to ensure they stay watertight.
Stone-Coated Metal: These are steel panels coated with stone granules to look exactly like traditional asphalt shingles, clay tiles, or wood shakes. You get the aesthetic of shingles with the 50-year durability of metal.
