As more homeowners learn about metal roofing and how it compares to shingles, tiles, and other roofing options, they’re embracing this material for many reasons. If you’re not familiar yet with metal roofing, you may be surprised to learn all the benefits.
Metal Roofs Last for Decades
We prefer to install metal roofs because they are the most durable and longest lasting roofing system. Florida’s heat, wind, and rain can take a toll on roofs, but despite those factors, the average lifespan of a metal roof is still 40 to 50 years. With the addition of the TCM master’sEDGE workmanship warranties we offer, you can rest assured your metal roof will perform.
Different Types of Metal Roof Materials
Metal roofs can provide a modern, industrial style, but they can also be designed to resemble traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt cedar shake, and slate shingles and clay tiles. Like clay and concrete tiles, metal roofing also comes in a variety of colors and finishes to complement any style of home.
We are fully licensed and insured.
Energy Savings With Metal Roofing
Is a metal roof worth it financially? You bet! A metal roof with a premium color finish is also a cool roof. Through testing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, it has been proven that an asphalt shingle roof traps heat in your attic.
But, an Energy Star rated roof reflects heat while the pigments in the color finish re-emit heat giving you a cooler attic. In fact, the Metal Roofing Alliance has a study that showed that a metal roof can save up to 40% of the energy costs to cool your home as compared to shingles.
Which Panel Is Best for Your Project?
