Products: Residential Roofing: Metal Roofing

METAL ROOFING is quickly becoming a desirable alternative in the Charlotte area to traditional composition shingles. Along with its many advantages to conventional roofing, Metal Roofing is now available in several designer styles and colors, allowing you to add new beauty and value to your home.

Metal roofing is stronger and more durable than asphalt shingle roofing. Most manufacturer's offer 30 year limited paint warranty on their panels also, so your metal roof can last twice as long as most conventional roofs. Because metal roofing is so durable, it has long been the choice for many school, government, and industrial buildings.

In North Carolina, metal roofing is superior to composition roofing in all types of weather conditions, including hail, sun exposure, and wind. Unlike shingles, metal roofing will not deteriorate due to the intense North Carolina sun exposure. High winds and/or a hail storm will destroy a composition roof, but a metal roof can handle wind speeds up to 140 MPH and is extremely hail resistant. Metal roofing performs so well, that in the state of North Carolina, if you have a metal roof that meets Underwriters Laboratories UL 2218 specifications, you can qualify for up to a 35% discount on your homeowner's insurance.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Lighter colored metal roofs reflect away much of the sun's UV rays, which can help keep your house cooler and lower cooling costs. In recent studies, a metal roof can cut cooling costs by as much as 25% or more.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

According to the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center, 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills annually. The recycled content of steel in metal roofing is much higher than the recycled content in asphalt shingles. Also, due to the low weight of metal roofing (about half that of shingles), in many cases it can be installed directly over your existing roof, saving the environmental as well as financial costs associated with removal and disposal.
