Pros and Cons of Metal Roofing

Pros:

• Lifespan – If you’re looking for a roof that will last a lifetime, a metal roof is your best option. Metal roofing can also last for 70 years or more!
• Durability – If a metal roof is installed properly, they can withstand high winds, are fire resistant, and aren’t susceptible to mold or mildew. They also require very little maintenance.
• Environmentally friendly – Metal roofing is often made from recycled materials and can easily be recycled once its at the end of its lifespan. It is also very energy efficient and will lower your monthly utility costs.
• Appearance – Metal roofing looks stunning and can increase your curb appeal.

Cons:

• Price – Metal roofing is typically more expensive than other types of roofing.
• Noise – Metal roofing can be noisy during rains or if debris hits it. Increasing attic insulation can help to dampen the sound.
• Dents – Metal roofing is easily dented by debris and heavy objects.
