Valuable Investment. While the initial cost for a premium metal roof is higher than most other roofing materials, you'll save money in the long run. A metal roof can last a lifetime, whereas materials like asphalt roof require refoofing every 10 to 20 years. A metal roof can also increase the resale value of your home.

Long Lasting. The averale life of a non-metal roof is 17 years. Asphalt can require refoofing every 10 to 20 years. But a metal roofing system offers unmatched durability, lasting 2 to 3 times longer. Chances are good that a metal roof will be the last roof you ever install on your home.

Beautiful Variety. No matter what kind of roofing style, color or finish you have now, there's a metal roofing style to match. Today's metal roofing looks just like common roofing materials such as asphalt shingle, clay tile, cedar shake or slate. However, metal lasts 2 to 3 times longer.

Strong & Durable. Non-metal roofing materials begin to deteriorate as soon as they are exposed to elements such as UV rays of the sun, temperature changes, severe storms and high winds. A metal roof will never deteriorate, and can withstand most everything nature throws its way.

Energy Efficient. Metal roofing in light colors reflects heat effectively to reduce cooling loads in the summer and insulates homes during the winter. This can help lower your energy bill.

Long Warranties. Most metal roofing comes with a true 30 to 50 year manufacturer warranty.

Myths Uncovered:

Lightning. A meatal roof will absolutely not increase the likelihood of lightning striking your home. However, if your home were hit by lightning, your metal roof would disperse the energy safely throughout the structure. Since metal roofing isn't combustible or flammable, its a low risk and desirable roofing option where severe weather is concerned, especially for lightning.

Noise. This may surprise you, but metal roofing is often quieter than an asphalt shingle roof., When installed with solid sheathing, a metal roof on your home will actually silence noise from rain, hail and bad weather, much better than other roofing materials.

Rust. Today's metal roofing systems are built to last. Steel metal roofing has a metallic coating made from either zinc or a combination of zinc and aluminum. This metallic coating prevents rust from forming and is bonded to the steel at the factory. Painst is then applied over the metalic coating to provide the long-lasting color homeowners desire.

Dents. In most cases, a metal roof can withstand decades of abuse from extremem weather like hail and high winds. A typical hail storm will not dent your metal roof. Todays systems also have a 120-mph wind rating (equal to an F2 tornado), meaning your metal roof is also safe from wind gusts that can accompany hail storms.

Durability. Many people think you can't (or shouldn't) walk on a metal roof, but the truth is that you can safely walk any metal roof without damaging it. Before you walk your roof, however, we recommend you talk to Saunders Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc.
