1. Lasts Longer Than Almost Any Other Kind of Roof

The first thing you should know about putting a metal roof on is that, once you do it, you'll probably never have to worry about replacing the roof again. Most metal roofs will last for at least 30 years. But many will last for 50 years, if not longer than that. As long as you have a reputable roofing company install your it, it's not going anywhere any time soon. Metal roofs are crafted to withstand almost anything and will outlast all the other roofs on the market today.

2. Requires Very Little Maintenance

In order to make a roof last as long as possible, you're going to need to maintain it. With most other roof types, that means inspecting it regularly and making minor and major repairs to it over time. If you don't maintain other roofs, they'll often fail on you before they should. One of the biggest benefits of metal roofing is that there isn't a lot of maintenance to do on it. You'll still need to have it inspected but less often. You may also want to wash it down from time to time and touch it up with paint if it gets scratched up - but for the most part metal roofs are maintenance-free.

3. Stands Up to All Weather Conditions

Austin, TX is subjected to all kinds of weather conditions throughout the course of the year. Your roof needs to be able to stand up to all of them. Some roofing materials aren't cut out to deal long term with the hot sun, the whipping winds, and the large hail that Texas will often throw at them. But metal roofs are prepared for the challenge. They have also been known to survive fires that have ruined every other part of the home. There isn't much that can harm them.

4. Cuts Down on Your Energy Costs

Energy Efficiency raises the value of your building? Asphalt roofs can absorb heat from the sun and allow it to heat & transfer that heat tot he interior of the building. Metal reflects the sun and reduces heat transfer. As a result, your cooling system doesn't have to work as hard.

5. Good for the Environment

Metal is easily one of the Eco-friendliest roofing options for homeowners. While each metal roof is different, the majority of metal roofs contain anywhere from 30 percent to 60 percent of recycled materials. Additionally, you can recycle your metal roof one day when you're finished with it. If you and your company want to do what's right for the environment when choosing a roof, a metal roof is your best bet.
Austin also has great incentives for the creation of energy efficient & green buildings.

6. Looks Amazing

How did it take us this long to mention one of the biggest benefits of metal roofing?
A metal roof will look amazing when you install it & it's not just Texans who think so.
It looks both stylishly modern and very classic at the same time.

7. Pays for Itself Over Time

The one knock against metal roofing systems is that they can be more expensive than other roofing materials. But as you've seen in several instances in this guide, your metal roof will end up paying for itself in the long run. Between the value added from energy efficiency & beauty you'll save on your energy bills and the money you'll make when you sell your home one day, your metal roof will prove to be well worth your initial investment.
