Consider a Standing Seam Metal Roof

Even though these aren’t going to be right for every homeowner, business owner or building, they are one of the best in quality when it comes to a new roofing system for your property. They are becoming increasing popular due to the ever-increasing cost of petroleum causing the prices of a standard fiberglass asphalt shingle to increase steadily. Standing seam metal roofs are going to enhance the overall look and integrity of your property. You can get them in aluminum, copper, steel or stainless steel, just to name a couple of options.

All of these materials are going to last for 50-years, so they are essentially a roof system that is built to last a lifetime. Since they are made of metal, you don’t have to worry about them being damaged anytime soon. Metal is quite strong and rigid, so it is capable of handling the elements that are thrown its way. It also has a very high rating in terms of wind. In the majority of cases, the roof is screwed down using hidden fasteners so you don’t have to worry about the elements affecting the screws and causing them to corrode. Use as many of the screws as you need to when it comes to making it wind-worthy.

When you hire a professional roofer, you are hiring someone who knows how to custom fabricate and properly install every aspect of the roof in coordination with the design of the building. Roofers aren’t going to be worried about heights or the complex system that goes into making sure the roof is properly installed.

Even though a standing metal seam roof is commonly installed on residential or commercial buildings as the main roof, they are also put in place to accent other roof types like shakes, tiles, shingles and slate. Bay windows, bird walk roofs and return roofs will often have a metal roof on them. It all depends on what is going to work for your specific structure and budget.
