Metal Roofing Atlanta Residents Trust
The old “tin” roofs that offered little to no protection from the environment are a thing of the past. Today’s metal roofing solutions, constructed from steel and aluminum, are high-tech, durable, and visually appealing. Metal roofing does not rot, crack, wrap, or curl; provides excellent protection against corrosion; and is the most hail-, wind-, and fire-resistant roofing material on the market. It’s no wonder more and more businesses are choosing metal!
Metal Roof Repair
Metal roofing systems are durable, but that doesn’t make them 100% problem-proof. Your metal roof may need to be repaired for one of two reasons: improper installation or leaks, which can occur if metal roofing systems are installed as sheets as opposed to shingles. Leaks may also occur near any cutouts for HVAC equipment and skylights. Request a free inspection of your metal roof today.
Benefits of Metal Roofing
Long lifespan
If properly installed, a metal roof can last three times as long as asphalt shingle roofs. It completely seals out water, withstands wind uplift of up to 110 miles per hour, and easily sheds snow and ice, which helps prevent ice dams. If you want to protect your roof against natural disasters or inclement weather, metal roofing is the way to go!
Eco-friendly
Metal roofing is a green building material that earns green building credits. It can also be outfitted with solar roofing panels for standing seam roofs. This reflection of solar radiant heat can save you up to 40 percent on cooling costs
Lots of options
Metal roofs are available in a wide variety of roofing styles, patterns, designs, and colors. Some sheet-style materials, most often called standing-seam roofing, offer a clean, contemporary appearance. They are lightweight, weighing less than one-third the weight of your typical asphalt or fiberglass shingles.
Low maintenance
For those with little time to worry about maintaining their roof, metal roofs are perfect. They are low maintenance and can usually be installed over your existing roof (re-roofing) if you want to change things up.
Cost-effective
Metal roofs significantly reduce roof leaks and ongoing roof repairs, so your maintenance costs are likely to be lower. Metal roofs are energy efficient, so you may notice savings on your A/C and heating bills as well. Metal roofing may seem expensive at first, but they ultimately pay for themselves. And your insurance company may even provide a reduced rate for metal roofs, because of their longevity and long-lasting warranty.
