The Advantages of Metal Roofing
Metal roofs last decades longer than shingle, shrug off coastal weather, and cut cooling costs. Here is what makes them worth a look.
Metal roofing has moved from farm buildings and warehouses to some of the best-looking homes on the Georgia coast, and for good reason. Here is what it actually offers.
It outlasts everything else
A well-installed metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years with proper maintenance, often two to three times the life of asphalt shingles. It stands up to extreme heat, heavy rain, and high wind, which is precisely the menu coastal Georgia serves every year.
It keeps the house cooler
Metal reflects solar heat instead of soaking it up the way dark shingles do. Reflective coatings push that further. The result is a cooler attic, less strain on the air conditioning, and lower summer power bills.
It barely asks for anything
Metal resists rot, mildew, and pests. There are no granules to shed and no shingles to curl. An occasional inspection and cleaning is most of what a metal roof ever needs, and it is highly fire-resistant on top of that.
It looks better than you think
Modern metal comes in a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes, from crisp standing seam panels to profiles that mimic traditional shingles or cedar shakes. Most metal roofing is also recyclable at the end of its life, which is more than most roofing materials can say.
