Replacing or renovating your roof can prevent structural hazards. Metal roofing offers a practical solution for protecting your home, and it helps increase curb appeal to enhance the overall value of the house. Big Dawg Roofing & Construction offers residential roofing services. Here are some of the benefits of metal roofing:
Storm and Weather Resistance
Choosing a weather-resistant material for your roof helps prevent structural damage and the need for emergency repair. While other alternatives utilize shingles that can crack or be torn off during storms, metal roofing consists of an interlocking panel system. This roofing offers:
- Impact resistance: The strength of the metal panels allows them to absorb impact from hailstones, preventing them from cracking or breaking. This helps lower the chances of your roof experiencing impact damage.
- Moisture resistance: While traditional materials can trap accumulated snow and water, which forms ice dams that move water below the roof deck, a roof made of metal panels does not absorb moisture. The smooth surface makes it easier to shed snow and ice quickly, reducing the chances of water entering.
- Wind resistance: The metal roofing panels are durable and secured, and they are made to resist high-speed winds. This helps protect your house in the event of hurricane-speed winds.
Having a resistant roof during rainstorms or snowstorms helps prevent water infiltration and leaks. This lowers the chances of water damage in places throughout your home, such as the attic. A durable roof may prevent mold growth in the ceilings and water stains on your walls. Specialized coatings for the roof help protect it from corrosion when it comes into contact with deicing chemicals, and some companies can add snow guards. Big Dawg Roofing & Construction offers storm damage restoration and metal roof installation services.
Increased Roof Lifespan
Metal materials offer longevity for your roof, as they make it possible for the roof to last up to 70 years. Metal roofs can maintain their structure during the seasons; this helps to lower the chances of cracking and warping. They also resist wear and tear over the years. Investing in a metal roof reduces the number of roofing replacements your home will need. It can also add to your property value, as buyers are less likely to need unexpected repairs. Metal coatings are able to maintain their color for years, even with sun exposure. This helps maintain the appearance of your home, keeping its visual appeal for market value.
Versatile Decor Options
Metal roofing offers different design options for your home; you may find multiple colors available. Sleek vertical designs with seam panels complement contemporary homes and offer a new appearance to older houses. The metal helps maintain an unsullied appearance for your home, as the smooth surface prevents the growth of moss or algae. The interlocking panels offer a seamless appearance, and hidden fasteners provide a clean look.
Companies such as Big Dawg Roofing & Construction provide various finishes and textures for metal roofs to offer design versatility. This allows you to choose different designs based on the style of your home while still investing in durability. Textured coatings and custom profiles allow your roof design to complement complex rooflines, traditional architectural styles, unique elements, and modern looks. One profile option is shingle designs. Roofing finishes can replicate the appearance of traditional materials; this includes wood shake, clay, and slate. These finishes are able to last a long time, preventing you from having to frequently repaint the roof.
Energy Efficiency
Metal works to reflect the sun’s rays. This quality allows for improved energy efficiency with metal roofing, as it helps maintain a cooler temperature in your home. Reducing the amount of heat in your house may prevent the HVAC from overworking. Big Dawg Roofing & Construction offers advanced finishes to help enhance energy efficiency, and specialized coatings are available for homes in hot climates.
Using metal for your roofing material also provides insulation for your home during the winter. Adequate insulation helps protect the residents of your home during extreme winter weather, such as snowstorms or blizzards. This allows your home to remain comfortable year-round, and it can help prevent spikes in your heating bills.
Temperature maintenance expands remodeling options for your home. The attic can be vulnerable to temperature shifts, and maintaining a comfortable temperature allows people to spend more time there. This allows you to renovate the attic into a guest bedroom or entertainment space.
