Advantages of Opting for Metal Roofing

Exceptional Longevity

The lifespan of metal roofing can vary depending on various factors such as the quality of the material used, installation methods, and the maintenance practices followed. However, in general, metal roofing can last you anywhere from 50 years or more with proper installation and maintenance, making this a great choice for the “out of sight, out of mind” homeowner, much like myself.

Superior Wind Resistance

The wind resistance of metal roofing is determined by several factors, including the material thickness and the design of the panels. When properly installed, metal roofing can withstand winds of up to 150 miles per hour or more. Depending on the specific product and installation methods.

To ensure maximum wind resistance, it is important to have the roofing system installed by a professional contractor who has experience with metal roofing installations. They'll know the correct amount of screws for your area.

Unmatched Storm Durability

Metal roofing isn't just about looking good; it's about standing tough against nature's fury. The unique V-shaped panels interlock seamlessly, forming a robust barrier against rain, wind, and hail. Additionally, metal is non-combustible, which means that it is resistant to fire and will not spark or ignite if struck by lightning. (attracting lightning is a myth, folks!)

Metal roofing is also resistant to rot, mildew, and pests, which usually come hand in hand with storm damage. This makes it a good choice for areas that are prone to heavy rain, high humidity, and insect infestations. Overall, metal roofing is a good choice for those who want a durable and storm-resistant roofing option.
