Metal Roofing Installation & Replacement

Many Charleston homeowners are turning to metal roofing when their roof needs replaced. Here are just a few reasons metal roofing has been increasing in popularity throughout Charleston recently.

• Aesthetic appeal – Our roofing contractors can deliver metal roofing panels that look like almost any other popular roofing material, including slate, shake, asphalt shingles, and tile. And, with the wide variety of types of metal roofing, including zinc, steel, copper, galvalume, or aluminum roofing, you can create any type of design or look you’d like. You can also select from a huge breadth of paint coatings to fit your home’s unique style.
• Energy efficient – One of the main reasons Charleston homeowners are turning to metal roofing en masse is because it can drastically reduce energy bills. More than some other roofing options, metal roofing such as copper roofs can, with the right coatings, treatment, fasteners, and insulation, reflect the sun. As such, metal roofs can lower heating prices in the winter and cooling prices in the summer. The energy savings a metal roof provides oftentimes make it more cost-effective in the long run.
• Durability – Although they’re on the more expensive end of the roofing costs spectrum, metal and steel roofing can be worth the initial investment because they have a lifetime of about 50-70 years. They’ll live even longer if they receive the proper maintenance throughout their lifetime. By comparison, other roofing materials have a lifespan of about 20-30 years.

  Additionally, metal tiles are fire-resistant, adding an extra layer of security to your new roof. The initial metal roof cost can seem steep, but this will likely be the first and last roof installation you will have to pay for. Imagine the peace of mind you’ll receive knowing you’ll never need to worry about your new roof ever again.

• Ease of maintenance – When you hear about a metal roof completely rusting through, it likely has old metal panels that the installer improperly implemented. You can avoid this mishap by partnering with the right contractor in the first place. Reputable roofing companies install, seal, and insulate your metal roofing properly. If the contractors are especially skilled, they pay special care to flash, ridges, and valleys to prevent leaks and maximize the lifetime of your roof. Moreover, metal shingles and sheets are typically treated and coated in order to prevent rust, minimize UV damage, and insulate your home.
