During new construction or home updates, the materials you choose are important. When it comes to roofing, materials should be chosen carefully and thoughtfully. Have you considered metal roofing as an option? You certainly aren't the only one! According to Metal Roof Alliance, the demand for metal roofs has jumped by 13% since 2017. Let's look at some of the reasons why metal roofs provided by a metal roof contractor are so popular right now.

The Lifespan of the Roof

A roofing cycle refers to the expected lifespan of a roof. If you're building a home or updating a roof on a home that you hope will be your forever home, you'll want to ensure that the materials you're using will have a long lifespan. In the experience of our roofers, metal offers a roof cycle of 15-20 years. This is a good lifespan and most homeowners are happy to make the needed financial investment in order to get a long-lasting roof for their forever home. Even if there are plans to sell the house in the future, investing in a quality roof still makes sense as you'll get a better return on your investment.

Appealing Roof Design

Style and construction designs change from year to year or decade to decade. In recent years, there has been an uptick in complex roof lines. This is a change from the cookie-cutter designs we saw in most ranch homes 30 years ago. Metal roofs provide a unique advantage in this respect because you can create those complex roof designs while also getting the assurance that the roof is going to last a long time. Even though you are investing more in the design and the metal, you'll get a good ROI because it'll last longer than other materials. A metal roof contractor can help you with design choices.

Energy Efficiency

The roof of a house can dramatically affect the energy efficiency of that house. The roof is vulnerable to the sun's heat, especially during the summer. When the heat passes through the roof and into the attic, AC costs can go up. If you invest in an energy-efficient metal roof, you'll be able to cut down on this issue.

As you can see, there are plenty of good reasons for the resurgence of love for metal roofing systems. If you're in search of a metal roof contractor, please reach out to us at Roof for Less LLC today for an estimate! We offer free consultations.
