If you’re buying a new home then you might be wondering if you need a new roof, and what kind of roof you will need. You may have heard through the grapevine that metal roofs are popular now more so than ever before. That's because they possess many qualities that make them a solid choice for any home:

Durable
Metal roofs are made of either steel, aluminum, or copper. This means they are made to resist curling, splitting, cracking, or withering.

Weather Resistant
With that said, they are also designed to withstand many different weather conditions, such as heat, rain, wind, snow, and even hail. 

Style
Metal roofs can replicate the appearance of slate, shake, shingles, and tiles. So if you need a versatile roofing option that offers several other benefits, then a metal roof might be for you.

Eco-Friendly
Did you know that metal roofs are made from mostly recycled materials? Although many homeowners opt for an asphalt roof, metal roofs are known to help save the environment.

Valuable
Most manufacturers offer a 50-year warranty (or even a lifetime) to cover your metal roof. So although they can be a higher investment, you are more likely to save money on costly repairs and maintenance. Not to mention, they can also increase property value. 

One of the most essential components of your home is a high-quality roof over your head. Why not choose metal? Between their extreme durability and versatile style, they are an ideal option for every home.

With cooler temperatures approaching, some say that fall is the ideal time to squeeze in those last minute outdoor projects you’ve been meaning to get to. That means you can finally replace your outdated roof with a new one!

But before you get started, you’ll need to decide which roofing material is best for you. Is your head spinning with options? Don’t fret - we’ve laid out everything you need to know: 

Asphalt - This type of roofing is the most commonly used. The mineral coating on asphalt roofs

are waterproof, which makes this an excellent option if you live in a climate where it rains and snows often. You can also expect asphalt roofs to last between 20-30 years when installed properly.

Metal - Metal is a durable, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient roofing material that also appeals to many homeowners. One of the greatest design elements of metal roofing is that it resembles other types of roofing, such as wood shakes, tiles, and shingles, except it is stronger and can last for more than 40 years.  

Slate - A high quality roof, like slate, is fire-resistant and comes in a wide array of colors. This stone material is made to carry its own weight, and even though it might be the priciest option of them all, slate roofs have the ability to last for 100 years or more!

Tile - If you live in a Spanish-style home, you might want to consider tile roofing. Much like slate, tile is heavy due to its concrete base.And though it comes in many different shapes and lasts for many years, if you have a steep-pitched roof, you might be better off with a different material.

Whether you need help deciding which roofing material to choose or you’re already past the decision-making process, turn to Phil’s Main Roofing!

And when you choose a metal roof for your next home improvement project, a good investment is exactly what you’ll be getting. Most metal roofs can last for more than 50 years!

They are environmentally friendly. Selecting an eco-friendly option for your roof is one way to save you money in the long run.

Asphalt, slate, tile, metal - the list goes on and on. But although there is more to roofing than the finished product that everyone can see, the material you choose plays an increasingly significant role in the success of any project and isn't a decision that should be made on impulse.

Are you planning a roof remodel for this spring? Before you can even meet with your contractor, it is a good idea to do some background research on the different materials available so that you can start to narrow down your options prior to signing any contracts. To help you out, we put together a list of the benefits of having a metal roof below:

1. Lifespan: Metal roofs are extremely durable and therefore, have the potential to last longer than other materials. If you would like to avoid having to redo your roof again while you remain in your home, choosing metal might just be the solution for you.

2. Installation: Unlike shingles which come in several pieces, metal roofs generally come in large sections. Therefore, the process of installing it is not as complex and the time needed to do so can be reduced.

3. Protection - Did you know that metal roofs are non combustible? Due to their composition and ability to be fire resistant, metal roofs are given one of the highest fire ratings!

But that's not all! As a leading provider of residential and commercial roofing services in Connecticut and New York, we at Phil's Main Roofing know just how beneficial a metal roof can be over the other possibilities.
