Residential metal roofs provide energy savings, beauty, and protection for homes for a lifetime. Plus, metal roofs are available in a wide variety of design to complement any style home. Offered in a rainbow of colors, a metal roof can be a traditional vertical seam profile, or manufactured to resemble wood shake, slate, shingles or clay tiles. There are so many reasons to specify a metal roof vs. other materials.

| A Wise Investment |
|
Metal roofing can last a lifetime - as long as fifty years or more - while other materials like asphalt require reroofing every 10 to 20 years. Plus, a metal roof can increase the resale value of a home. In some states a metal roof can even lower a homeowner's insurance by 35%. Metal roofing can also save homeowners up to 40% on annual energy cost!

| The Winner With Flying Colors |
|
Cool Pigment Technology is one of the features of residential metal roofing. On a building or on a home, the roof has a major impact with the absorption of heat from sunlight (Solar Radiation). The heat is either reflected into the atmosphere or absorbed through conduction into the building. Cool metal roofing uses pigments designed to reflect infrared light, helping to keep energy costs low.

| The Better Tile Roof |
|
Standard tile roofs can be heavy, yet fragile and costly to maintain. Metal Tile, however, has the graceful curves of classic tile, but the lightness and strength of stone-coated steel.

| The Benefits add up Like Lightning |
|
A residential metal roof will not increase the likelihood of lightning striking a home. However, if a home were hit by lightning, the metal roof would disperse the energy safely throughout the structure. Since metal roofing isn't combustible or flammable, it's a low risk and desirable roofing option where severe weather is concerned, especially for lightning.

| No Need to Keep This Quiet |
|
A common misconception is that a metal roof will be noisier than other types of roofing. When installed with solid sheathing, a metal roof on your home will actually silence noise from rain, hail and bad weather, better than other roofing materials.

| Let's Make a Dent in Misconceptions |
|
Many people think metal roofs dent easily. Not true. In most cases, a metal roof can withstand decades of abuse from extreme weather like hail, high winds, and heavy snow. Today's systems also have a 150-mph wind rating (equal to an F2 tornado), meaning your metal roof is also safe from wind gusts that can accompany hail storms.
