There is a local company that advertised a special on metal roof installation. After a lot of consideration, I decided to go for it. Getting a roof replaced is not cheap, and this seemed to be a cost-effective option. This happened just over a year ago, so I feel enough time has passed that I can talk about the results. When it was first installed it seemed nice, and it looked good, but I still wasn’t sure it was a good long-term investment. This company was able to offer a great value, because they made and cut all their own sheet metal. After a full year, plus one of the worst hurricane seasons in history, I can tell you that the metal roof installation was a great value, and gave me a strong, durable roof for my home. Roofing can take quite a beating during hurricane season, with high winds, heavy rains, and a lot of falling debris from trees. There was another amazing benefit from the new metal roofing that I didn’t expect – I got a reduction in my homeowner’s insurance premiums! Because sheet metal roofing provides an extra layer of protection to the home from storms, the insurance agent lowered my payments. This is awesome, because it means the metal roofing is already paying for itself. Even if you don’t live in a hurricane zone, I encourage you to consider this option when the time comes for a roof replacement. Sheet metal roofing is not just strong and reliable, it’s also not as expensive as you might think.
