Whether a person is looking at their options in regards to a new construction project, or they have decided to replace their existing roof due to wear and tear, damages sustained during a storm, or simply as part of a renovation or remodeling project, they will soon discover that the possibilities are nearly endless.
Asphalt, concrete, tar shingle, wood shingle, tile; the list of roofing options is extensive, each option with its own unique perks and drawbacks, making finding the right roofing option for a person’s particular home and budget a daunting one. However, one roofing option stands out among the crowd for both its incredible durability and lifespan, as well as its versatility: a metal roof.
Today, metal roofing comes in a wide array of colors and styles to choose from, all of which can be easily adapted and installed to even the most complicated and intricate of rooflines. One of the perks of metal roofing is that it can be installed very quickly compared to other traditional roofing methods, being completed sometimes full days earlier than other roofing projects.
Potentially damaging forces such as heavy snow load, insect infestation and rot are not a problem for metal roofs, as snow easily slides off of the smooth surface, and metal is resistant to pests and rot. Furthermore, people with metal roofs typically enjoy lower energy bills during the hot summer months, as the metallic surface reflects the sun’s heat rather than absorbing it. Additional perks of metal roofs are the fact that they are noncombustible, reducing the risk of house fires; they are also significantly lighter than traditional roofing methods, meaning that there is less stress put on load bearing areas of the house, as well as being an excellent choice for add-ons and extensions.
Metal roofs can be installed over existing roofs, or existing roofs may be removed to have a purely metal roof installed. For more information on metal roofing in St. Peters, MO, contact us at Affordable Exteriors for a free consultation.
