Metal
Metal has become an increasingly popular roofing material for roof replacements and installations. The most commonly used metal for residential roofing is steel alongside copper and stainless steel.
Metal roofs have a lot of benefits as they are long-lasting and durable. The lifespan of a metal roof spans anywhere from 40 to 60 years. In addition, they are fully fireproof and built to withstand harsh weather conditions. Metal roofs help improve your home’s energy efficiency as they reflect solar radiant heat instead of absorbing it, which can help reduce cooling costs by as much as 25%.
