Sure, your new metal roof will be beautiful, but do you know how practical it can be? Here’s a list of 5 practical ways a new metal roof saves money, essential to any home improvement decision.
1. An American metal roof installation helps reduce your energy consumption.
While we can’t predict the future energy costs, an American metal roof installation helps manage and reduce your energy consumption.
- Proper roof ventilation contributes to the quality and temperature of airflow through your home’s living spaces. That’s why every roofing consultation and estimate begins with a ventilation evaluation. Your new roof will ensure comfort and health while optimizing your home’s HVAC systems.
- Our metal roof reflective coatings bounce heat away from your house and leave airspace between the panel and the deck, keeping it cool in the summer. Homeowners report saving up to 20% on their summer energy bills.
2. Our lightweight aluminum roofing saves on costly home repairs.
Structures weaken with age. Some of the things your home has endured are moisture infiltration, a few structural changes, punishing storms, raging winds, and years of thermal cycling. As any home ages, it loses strength. Reducing the overall pressure on your home through a low-weight roof can be very helpful in restoring and preserving homes built even as recently as 40 years ago
Here in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s UP, ice dams cause significant and costly damage to homes yearly. Our complete ice management systems protect your roof from the dangers of winter.
3. Solar panel-ready and durable.
Future-proof your home for energy production. With asphalt, slate, tile, or any conventional roofing material, solar panels attach via brackets that require holes drilled in the roof. These penetrations introduce dozens of potential failure points for water to creep in and damage your roof deck and attic.
Unlike most other roofing, solar panels are either clamped onto metal panels or installed with concealed fasteners into the roof deck. This process means no need for holes or failure points. Our metal roofs’ longer life means you won’t need to rip up your roof and your panels when it comes time for a new roof…or new solar panels. We specialize in working with solar contractors to ensure your new roof performs with reliability and durability.
4. Make a sustainable roofing choice.
In addition to supporting solar energy production from the largest surface of your home, our metal roofs are kind to the environment. Made from up to 95% post-consumer recyclable materials, our aluminum roofs are completely recyclable at the end of a long life (or one cut short by a natural disaster). You won’t have to “pay” for hauling it away or contributing it to a landfill.
5. An American Metal Roof is an investment, not an expense.
We provide warranted, lifetime roofing solutions, saving you money. Asphalt roofing fails when protecting your home and investing in it.
While many asphalt roofs claim to last 20+ years, most today only make it to 12-15. When you invest in an American metal roof, you can depend on warranted protection for a lifetime.
You’ll save thousands on future installations, roofing repairs, and all the labor expenses involved in roof maintenance. Plus, you’ll enjoy reduced operating costs.
Let’s take that a bit further into increased home value:
- Our metal roofing systems’ durability becomes a lasting increase in home value rather than a roof investment that declines rapidly as the roof deteriorates.
- Our lifetime aluminum roofing warranties are the industry’s best and are transferable to future homeowners.
- Because our metal roofs maintain a “just new” appearance, it continually increases your home’s curb appeal and perceived value for potential buyers.
- Industry studies have shown that upgraded metal roofs added 54.8% of their cost to a home’s value in 2022.
Imagine what great peace of mind a quality metal roof can bring while differentiating your home from others available on the market and in your neighborhood.
