There are many benefits to be gained by installing a metal roof on your home in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area. First and foremost is metal roofing’s expected lifespan, which beats out that of other conventional materials (such as asphalt, wood, and tile) significantly. This is mostly due to the natural durability of metal, as it is resistant to common nuisances like fire, mildew, insects, and rot. Because of its durability and longevity, metal roofing products are often covered by long-lasting, comprehensive warranties. Plus, metal roofing requires very little maintenance.
In addition to being exceptionally long-lasting, metal roofing is a famously energy efficient and green material. Metal is naturally reflective, so having a metal roof means that the sun’s ultraviolet rays will be reflected away from your roof, rather than being absorbed by dark asphalt shingles. And, on the Earth-friendly note – did you know that, according to the Northeast Recycling Council, approximately 11 million tons of asphalt shingle waste is generated in the U.S. each year? On the other hand, metal roofing is 100 percent recyclable, so installing a metal roof on your home in Grand Rapids, MI, or another nearby area can help you feel good knowing that you won’t be contributing to the Earth’s growing landfills.
