There are so many reasons why many homeowners are ditching asphalt and investing in a metal roof. A traditional asphalt roof only lasts 10-15 years! I mean, who wants to have to think about replacing their roofs after only ten years? Not me!  Many experts say metal is so durable and will quite possibly be the LAST roof you’ll ever need! I like the sound of that!

A contemporary metal roof on a home can improve that home’s resale value by 1 to 6 percent when compared with an asphalt-shingled home. Additionally, you’ll recoup an average of 85.9 percent of your costs on a metal roof!  In addition to their home resale price improvement advantages, metal come with other benefits.  For starters, they are great insulators.  Metal reflects more of the sun’s energy, keeping your home cooler and saving 25 percent or more on heating and cooling costs. Many homeowner insurance companies provide policy discounts of up to 35 percent because metal is so durable and weather-resistant. Asphalt shingles are no match for mother nature, but metal can withstand even the strongest storms without flinching.

Typically, metal comes with a 50-year rated lifespan, though, compared with 15 years for asphalt and other materials. Erie Construction of Evansville, Indiana is a trusted leader in the industry and would love to come out give you a free estimate and show you why metal makes sense on so many levels!
