A good football team is sound in all three phases: offense, defense, special teams. When you selecting a car many people want: spaciousness, efficiency, performance. Homebuyers look for: location, price, condition. There is a trend of threes in all of these examples. Of course there are many other factors in these and many, many other areas of life, but if you can lock down three important qualities, it usually helps in the decision making process. The same is true for your home’s roof. Today we’ll discuss the three benefits of a metal roof.


 

Durable: There is little to no maintenance required for a metal roof. It is also unlikely to suffer hail or wind damage. A metal roof is essentially a coat of armor for your home.


Sustainable: The lifespan of a metal roof can easily exceed 50 years. Where a traditional shingled roof may need repair or replacement after 15 or 20 years, a metal roof will perform and maintain its appearance for decades longer.


Beautiful: Manufactured metal roofs and materials are available in a variety of colors and textures. Finding an option that matches your taste and the architecture of your home is simple and makes for a smooth transition when replacing your roof.




Of course these are only three benefits, and their priority will change from person to person, but they are very important characteristics of a metal roof.
