Benefits Of Metal Roofing

Why Stump Metal Is Better Than An Asphalt Shingle Roof

Energy savings are near the top of the list!

Severe weather conditions, such as high winds, sleet and hail, as well as normal heat, cold, rain, snow and ice eventually deteriorate even the best grade of asphalt shingles. This deterioration results in leaks that may not be discovered until severe roof damage is done and the leak has affected structural integrity as well as walls and ceilings. Then there’s fire. Traditional asphalt shingles can actually catch fire rather easily. This becomes a liability when a nearby structure is on fire and is sending burning embers into the air. This is not true of a high quality, properly installed standing seam metal.

Another aspect of metal roofing is the Energy Savings it provides. While shingles tend to soak up & absorb the heat, the paint on metal contains reflective properties that actually reflect the sun's rays away from the structure. This allows for your attic to stay cooler and that in turn helps keep your building cooler overall. Which in turn helps relieve stress on cooling components for your building as well.

Furthermore, the cost of shingle roof repair adds up over the years and eventually the roofing material will have to be replaced (shingle roofs have an average life span of 15-18 years). A high quality metal roof on the other hand, can be expected to last a lifetime with minimal upkeep making it a worthwhile investment. Although the initial cost is higher than a shingle roof, metal will be your best financial bet over the long run.

The trick however, is to ensure you have the right roofing contractor. There is a huge difference between not only the products they use but also between the abilities, experience and attitudes of the roofing contractors themselves. This is where Stump Metal Roofing seems to have a huge advantage over most other roofing contractors.
