Metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular across Arizona homes. While they are still a bit of an investment, metal roofing is becoming more affordable for the median homeowner. Affordability is not the only benefit of having a metal roof installed on your Arizona home.
When shopping for a new roof, most homeowner focus on two key factors: longevity and price.
They want to get the most out of their roof for what will fit in their budget. Not only can a metal roof last upwards of 50 years, but it is also an affordable option. We’ve put together a few additional benefits of a metal roof below.
Durability
One contributing factor to metal roofs long lifespan expectancy and a primary benefit is their durability. Like we just said, metal roofs can last upwards of 50 years! This is because they can endure the elements. Metal roofing is designed to protect your home against anything Mother Nature throws at it. Whether you live in an area that sees high winds, hail, extreme temperatures, heavy rains, or even snow, you can trust your metal roof to withstand.
Efficiency
In Arizona, we see over 300 days of sunshine and several of those days with temperatures well over 100 degrees. A new metal roof will reflect that heat and help you save on energy bills by up to 40%! Unlike a shingle or tile roof, a metal roof is often topped with a heat deflecting coating to help make sure your home stays cool in the summer time. As you know, we run our air conditioning units A LOT in Arizona. This can put a strain on your HVAC systems and significantly increase energy costs. If you are wanting an energy efficient option for your roof, metal is the way to go.
Style & Design Options
Modern technology has given metal the ability to be shaped and colored into a wide variety of styles, designs, and colors. This gives metal roofing a massive advantage over other roofing materials. Choosing to install one on your Arizona home, you have the option to make a bold statement or to compliment any style of home. Add a bit of curb appeal to your Arizona home by adding a metal roof and have lasting great looks for years to come.
Return on Investment
If you are looking for the cheapest roofing material on the market, metal is not it. However, it is one of the greatest investments you an make for your home that will yield a great return. Within the lifespan of a metal roof, you would have to install at least 2, if not 3, shingle roofs. This with the added monthly savings on your energy bills, a metal roof will more than pay for itself in its lifietme. Even better, if you ever choose to sell your home, a metal roof is a attractive to buyers.
Low Maintenance
We’re not saying metal roofs do not require any maintenance, but the maintenance requirements are incredibly low. This is a great benefit to any homeowner installing a new roof on their home. Like every roof, a metal roof will require a routine inspection and necessary work to be completed. Dents, scratches, leaks, and deterioration can be common in a roofing system. When caught quickly, this damage can easily be resolved with minor repair or maintenance. If you are looking for a new roof that won’t require a lot of maintenance, metal is the way to go!
Eco-Friendly
If you are looking for the most eco-friendly roofing option, metal is your answer. A metal roof is virtually 100% recyclable and are typically made of at least 25% recycled materials. With growing environmental concerns and landfill issues, a metal roof offers a more sustainable alternative. Adding a metal roof to your house won’t only protect your home, but also help the environment.
