PROVIDING SHELTER FOR THE FUTURE

By True Green Roofing Solutions

Demand for metal roofing in the United States and Canada has grown exponentially in the past two decades. It should not escape us that this is because metal roofing styles defy stereotypes, address personal concerns and offer a diverse set of big benefits to homeowners. Metal has become a coveted building material for new construction and residential re-roofing or siding. Whether you are building the home of your dreams, keen for an architecturally clean roofline or searching for a classic roof look there is a metal roofing profile available for you. According to the Metal Roofing Alliance, “installing a quality metal roof is one of the best investments you can make to boost your home’s value and performance. Delivering beauty, longevity, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, metal roofing offers benefits for any size home no matter the region.”

Where do I start?

Begin your research by contacting companies well versed and specializing in metal roofing. Ask them to explain your options and for their experienced opinions regarding your particular home or needs. A company specializing in metals can direct you to past projects, customer referrals and an extensive library of information for your review. Metal roofing specialists enjoy the conversations. They should also be able to explain jurisdictional requirements and code compliances.

With access to unlimited digital information, the average homeowner is more exposed than ever to the benefits of metal roofing and its clear advantages over roofing materials like asphalt shingles which contribute over 20 billion pounds of waste into landfill each year. Did you know that rainwater can be safely harvested from a metal roof? Is ultimate protection from wildfires a priority? Do you need more insulating value for your house? Let’s have the conversation about what is important to you.

What if I have a metal roof already?

Owners that already enjoy metal roofing are usually the first to compliment the look and functionality from experience. There does still exist some older metal roofing in our area that while sound in its protection can require a metal roofing skill set to keep its function intact. The right metal-certified installers can provide those roof “tuneups” when necessary. Get on a schedule to have your roof inspected every couple of years – this prevention can save money and prevent heart ache. Additionally, we are asked regularly about snow guards and snow fencing for painted metal systems to protect life and property below your roofline. Choosing the right system, like S-5 Snow Retention Systems can check the box for sluff protection.

Looking Ahead, why wouldn’t you choose a metal roof?

Continual product enhancements in everything from underlayments and coatings to design are what keep the industry vibrant and available to all. While metal roofing does require a greater initial investment, those costs are offset by lifespan. This is not a temporary roof system and will protect your valuables well into the future. Metal shines in an industry surrounded by “made to fail” alternatives.
