A metal roof absorbs much less heat than an asphalt shingle roof. In a test conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center, metal roofing showed the greatest reductions in energy consumption of all roofing types, with 23 to 30% savings during peak cooling seasons.
Metal roofs carry the strongest wind ratings available. Most systems can handle continuous wind speeds of 140mph, with some able to withstand gusts of over 200mph!
Metal roofs are light-weight and recyclable. After your new roof has run its course, the material will be scrapped and recycled instead of going into a landfill.
You can’t beat the bold clean lines of a metal roof. Not only will your home look great, but the value of your home will go up too! Homeowners can expect to recoup 95.5% of the cost of their roof through increased home value, compared to only about 63% for shingle roofs.
A standing seam roofing system is a smart investment and can save you significant money on the cost of owning your home. While more expensive on the front end, metal roofs will ultimately pay for themselves and can easily outlast an architectural shingle roof by 2-3x. Due to strict insurance regulations, most people will only get about 10-15 years out of their shingle roof, while a metal roof can easily last 30-45 years or more.

The 2-3 additional roof replacements that would be needed to match the lifespan of just one metal roof add up to a higher total expense over time. Not to mention, your new metal roof will require little to no maintenance, unlike a shingle roof which generally should be maintained/inspected every 3-5 years.
