There’s just something about a metal roof that draws the eye. Driving down the road on a Sunday afternoon out in the country you are bound to pass a home that’s covered in either:
1. Classic ribbed (sometimes called Barn metal)
visible nails
more ribs
faster application
2. Or Standing Seam Metal Roof
no visible nails
ribs are farther apart and interlocked better
requires more meticulous application
With the right color scheme and properly installed by a professional Metal Roof Contractor, Metal can greatly increase the curb appeal of your home.
Benefits of a Metal Roof
Some of the other benefits of metal are:
· Lasts longer than a shingle roof (40+ years depending on material)
· Energy conservation (reflects the sun reducing AC bills)
· Safer in that it won’t burn
· Lighter weight
· Properly installed though, it resists wind better than shingle roofing
· Allows for less ice and water pooling
· No algae or moss growth so less “streaking”
· Often made from 100% recyclable material
As you can see a new metal roof doesn’t JUST look good, there are practical benefits that can reduce your expenses in the long run.

· The biggest deterrent for most folks is the expense
- can be more expensive as traditional shingle roofing
-however, when added on a pole barn, can be very cost effective
· Erosion and leaking around fasteners
· Can dent in hail and high winds with debris (although that’s what homeowners insurance is for)
· Noisiness
· Matching for a metal roof repair can be difficult
