Pros and Cons of Metal Roofing

 

As with any type of roofing material, there are pros and cons to metal roofing. Let’s take a look at both.

Pros of Metal Roofing

 
  1. Durability: Metal roofing is extremely durable and can last for 50 years or more. It is resistant to wind, fire, and rot, making it an ideal choice for harsh climates.

  2. Energy Efficiency: Metal roofing reflects sunlight, which can help to reduce energy costs by keeping your home cool during the summer months. Additionally, metal roofing is a good insulator, which can help to keep your home warm during the winter months.

  3. Recyclable Materials: Many metal roofing materials are made from recycled materials, which is good for the environment. In fact, 20 billion pounds of metal are recycled each year.

  4. Low Maintenance: Metal roofing requires very little maintenance, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance roof.

Cons of Metal Roofing

 
Even though Metal roofing has a lot of advantages but like any other thing it has it’s own set of issues. Following are some of the cons that will help you in your decision. 
 
  1. Cost: Metal roofing can be more expensive than traditional asphalt shingle roofing. However, the long-lasting durability of metal roofing often makes it a better investment in the long run.

  2. Noise: Some homeowners may find that metal roofing can be noisy during heavy rain or hail. This can be mitigated by adding insulation or special roofing underlayment.

  3. Dent: Metal roofing is prone to denting, especially during hail storms.

Metal Roof for Your Home

Metal Roof for Your Home

A metal roof is popular for homeowners who want a durable and long-lasting roofing option. Metal roofs come in a variety of materials, including aluminum, steel, and copper, and offer many advantages over traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles. 

One of the biggest benefits of a metal roof is its longevity. Like metal roofs, they can last for 50 years or more, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. They are also highly resistant to weather-related damage, including wind, hail, and fire. This makes them ideal for homes in areas that experience severe weather conditions. Metal roofs are also energy-efficient. They reflect the sun’s rays, which can help reduce the heat transferred into the home. This can lead to lower energy bills and improved comfort in the summer months. Additionally, metal roofs can be made from recycled materials, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

Another advantage of metal roofs is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike shingles, which must be replaced periodically, metal roofs do not require regular maintenance. They are also easy to clean, as they resist moss, mold, and algae growth.

In terms of appearance, metal roofs come in various styles, colors, and finishes. This allows homeowners to choose a roof that complements the style of their home and fits their personal preferences. Some popular styles include standing seam, ribbed, and corrugated panels.

If you are considering a metal roof, it is a durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance option that can provide homeowners with many years of protection. With so many styles, colors, and finishes, it’s easy to find a metal roof that fits your home’s design and your personal taste.

There are many benefits to choosing metal roofing for your home. Here are a few of the most significant:

  • Long-lasting
  • Energy Efficient

Exterior Cleaning Roof & Siding, Johnson, Iowa

Amazing! I had the roof, siding and soffit cleaned on my 14 year old home. I can’t believe the difference it made! It looks new again! Sullivan was great to work with. There was absolutely no trace they had been there, other than the clean house and roof! I am very pleased. I will refer my friends and family to Sullivan Roof Cleaning!

I found Bruce and Maria via their Your Tube video demonstrating their approach to cleaning the “green” stuff growing on the north and east sides of my home. I recommend watching it, it’s exactly who they are and what they do.

My house, deck and patio look brand new! I wish I had taken before pictures. The improvement is dramatic.

They arrived as scheduled, worked efficiently and with respect for my property. The work was completed for exactly the bid they provided when they visited my home to provide a free quote. I wish all contractors were so reliable and transparent. I am a very satisfied customer.

Bruce has done several roof cleanings for me and the results always exceed my expectations. He’s saved me thousands of dollars on my investment properties by making old roofs look brand new. He cleaned my gutters and siding in just a few minutes in what would have taken me hours with a power washer. With just a simple rinse, his cleaning solution removed dirt and grime that a pressure washer couldn’t remove. He’s got an amazing product.

I was skeptical of this when my wife suggested it. I told her roofs were suppose to do this after time. I went to Menards to purchase a product and tried it in a small area ( no results) we went ahead and had it done and our roof looks like the day we had it installed. This is the best money we have spent to keep the house looking like the day we built it. GREAT JOB!!! I would recommend this to anyone.

You did an awesome job on my daughter’s log home, deck, railing, swing and chairs on the deck. They are totally impressed. My roof looks great, as well as, the stucco on front of my house. I appreciated your professionalism regarding communication and being where you said you would be at the time agreed upon.
