A roof is something most of us don’t want to bother with or think about. The truth of the matter is that if you have an asphalt roof, (many people do) you are going to have to replace it every 10-15  years! Ouch! Asphalt is popular because it’s relatively cheap and is readily available. Whether you like it or not, a roof is incredibly valuable to your home.  It can be a beautiful accent to your house or business or an ugly nightmare causing thousands of dollars  in damage to your home or business.
Think about it,  the one thing that any structure must have is a roof. It is the most important component to any structure protecting you and others from rain wind snow and disaster. So why would you even think of cutting corners when it comes to your roof? If you’re tired of dealing with roofing issues every time inclement weather rolls in, you really should consider metal roofs. Local inspectors say, they will stand up to any weather condition and will be the last roof you’ll ever need!

When it comes to roofing, there is nothing more obnoxious than your roof becoming more and more faded. As far as asphalt roofing goes, it really takes no time before color fade starts to set in. Another annoying thing about asphalt is its shelf life. I mean 10-15 years? That’s it, before you need to start thinking about replacing your roof? These are all reason s why many are ditching asphalt once and for all.  Metal roofs are fast becoming the “go to” material. A big reason why is that it’s incredibly durable.

It has been proven time after time, storm after storm, that metal performs better than any other roofing product. Metal roofs have a very high wind rating which makes them a great choice for durability.  Another benefit is that you will never have to worry about your roof fading ever again! The paint finish is a ceramic based paint in which the color of the roof is baked on in a furnace.

If that’s not enough to convince you. Think about this. According to an article published by the Metal Roofing Association,  the appraised value of a home will increase by $1.35 per sq. ft. when it has a metal roof. Not only does it add value to your home, metal roofs actually saves you money – on roofing maintenance costs and on your energy bills. Regular asphalt shingle roofing systems need re-roofing (plus interim maintenance and shingle replacement) anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Metal means you will likely never re-roof again, or have to worry about damage, leaks or missing shingles. For saving money, metal is second to none. In fact, having one on your home can actually lower your heating and air conditioning bills year round. In the summer, metal’s scientifically tested reflective coatings keep your home cooler with less energy. In the winter its insulating properties keep heat in, saving you energy and money. Erie Construction of Evansville, Indiana is a trusted leader in the industry and would love to show you why many are making the switch and reaping the rewards.

There is nothing more aggravating than having to deal with roofing problems every time it storms. Asphalt is a popular roofing option because it’s readily available and it’s fairly inexpensive. The problems with it is that it doesn’t hold up to heavy winds and needs to be replaced every 10-15 years. Metal roofs are gaining in popularity with both commercial and residential properties because of how extremely durable they are. They will withstand extreme weather conditions without even flinching and with proper maintenance home inspectors say it’s the last roof you’ll ever need. 

No matter what type of roof you choose, the purpose of your roof is to protect your home and all your possessions. This is why it is vital for you to protect your roof. If your roof is not properly installed, an unforeseen problem may result in the loss of your home and everything inside it. 

There are lots of things that you could do in order to lengthen the life of your roof. For instance, you could installing a new gutter system, adding lighting rods, or redirecting the water run off so that it does not land at the base of your home. These simple enhancements can help provide you with a safe and reliable roofing system for years to come.  The bottom line is that if you are sick and tired of dealing with roofing issues every few years, you really owe it to yourself to consider metal roofing.
