People are becoming more aware of the impact that they have on the environment and how their choices affect the earth. As such, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly products. Metal roofing is one of the few eco-friendly roofing materials currently available. The roof can be made from recycled metal and may be eligible to be recycled at the end of its lifespan.

Some roofs may perform well in one climate but not so well in another. Metal is becoming popular across the US because it does well in so many different climates. According to State Farm, when a metal roof is correctly installed, it can sustain wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour. It can also withstand heavy rains, ice, and temperature extremes. Due to its density, it can also insulate homes better than its competitors.

One of the lesser-discussed reasons why metal roofing is gaining in popularity is because there are so many design options available for metal roofing materials. These materials come in panel, shingle, or tile options. Different types of metal can be used for different looks. The metal can also be painted or coated to alter its appearance. This helps a roof add to the individuality and curb appeal of a home, rather than deter from it.

Lastly, metal roofs are a surprisingly affordable option. The labor costs associated with new roof installation are low with metal as it's easy to quickly install. While the metal roofing itself may be more expensive, with its lifespan doubling other materials and needing fewer repairs overall due to durability, you'll be paying less for roof repairs. The net cost for a maintained metal roof is actually lower!

While there are many choices available to you, metal may be the right option for you. More homeowners than ever are selecting this roofing option.
