The Pros and Cons of Metal Roofing
Considering metal roofing for a Huntington Beach home makes perfect sense. There are certainly plenty of advantages as well as some disadvantages. In order to be a smart homeowner and consumer you need to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
Some of the most common materials for roofing include asphalt, tile and wood. When it comes to metal you are looking at options like aluminum, steel and other metals. So before making your decision one way or the other take a look at some of the pros and cons.
What You Need to Know
Let’s first start with the pros:- Longevity – Installed properly and cared for metal roofs usually come with up to a 50 year warranty and can last up to 70.
- Fire resistance – this material gets a Class A fire rating which is the most fire resistant.
- Reflective surface – because metal reflects heat from the sun you can cut down on the cost of cooling your home
- Weight – the lightest option
- Installation – is relatively easy and definitely the quickest
- Cost – the upfront investment is greater than with other choices but the longevity balances that out
- Dents – as you can imagine hailstones and falling branches can put a real ding in this material
- Noise – sounds can be amplified but for some people the sound of rain on a metal roof is second to none
- Replacement difficulty – Because this material is traditionally constructed in large panels it can be hard to take care of repairs without having to replace a large section
