Residential metal roofing offers durability, energy efficiency, and long-term value for homeowners. With a lifespan of 40 to 70 years, metal roofs withstand harsh weather conditions while requiring minimal maintenance. Advanced coatings and finishes, like GALVALUME Plus, help reflect heat, keeping homes cooler and reducing energy costs. Available in various styles and colors, metal roofing enhances curb appeal while providing superior protection. Below are common questions homeowners have about choosing and maintaining a metal roof.
Are Residential Metal Roofs Expensive?
Metal roofs generally have a low life cycle cost due to their durability, longevity, and minimal maintenance requirements. While the initial investment may be higher than traditional roofing materials, the long-term benefits often make metal roofs a cost-effective choice.
Do I need to remove my existing roofing material?
One of the benefits of metal roofing is that it is lightweight, which allows it to be installed over existing roofing materials. However, Southwest Metal Roofing prefers to remove existing roofing to ensure a smoother surface and address any possible water damage to existing decking or structure.
Are metal roofs loud when it rains?
This is a common question, and probably one of the biggest misconceptions about metal roofing. When it comes to this question, people think of an old barn roof where metal is visible to the interior of the structure. On a residence, however it is often installed over a solid substrate where attic space and insulation serve as additional sound barriers. Because of this, metal roofs can effectively reduce noises from rain, hail, windblown debris, and other extreme weather conditions much better than other roofing materials.
Will hail damage a metal roof?
Metal is a preferred roofing material in hail prone areas. Hail causes extensive damage to roofs because it can break, split and cause tear-off of traditional roofing materials. However, hail will not penetrate a metal roof. In the severest case, the various styles and finishes available in metal roofing can help camouflage potential cosmetic damage.
Will metal roofing rust or its paint fade?
Southwest Metal Roofing Systems steel products are manufactured from Galvalume which is the most rust resistant coating on the market today. In addition, they are painted with a high performance Kynar 500/ Hylar5000 baked enamel finish warranted against fade for 20 years.
