Roofing Material – Metal

Metal roofs are appealing for people who value longevity and durability. These people often live in areas that experience storms and other types of inclement weather. Metal roofs can be made from a few different materials including zinc, steel, copper, aluminum, and tin.

Metal roofs are usually more expensive than shingle roofs, however they typically do allow for excellent warranty coverage. Metal roofs have experienced a decent level of popularity in North America. However, many homeowners in Canada opt out of metal roofing because of the risks and hazards associated with ice chunks and snow which are commonly known to slide off and cause accidents and damage on the ground.

You may also find it difficult to find contractors that would need to work off of a metal roof for future projects. One example is replacing siding on a split-level home, where a sided wall extends up from a metal roof. Many contractors won’t be interested in quoting out of safety concerns and the risk of damage to the metal or it’s painted finish.
