If you're considering a new roof or a replacement, here’s why a metal roof is a smart choice for your home or commercial building:

Extreme Durability & Longevity

Unlike asphalt shingles, which typically last 20-30 years, a professionally installed metal roof can last 50 years or more!

✔️ Resistant to wind, snow, and hail
✔️ Won’t rot, crack, or warp
✔️ Rust-resistant coatings for long-lasting protection

With proper maintenance, a metal roof can outlast multiple generations of homeowners.

Superior Weather Protection for Northeast Michigan

Michigan’s climate can be tough on roofs, but metal roofing stands up to the challenge:

🌨️ Heavy Snow Load? No Problem!
Metal roofs are designed to shed snow efficiently, reducing the risk of ice dams and structural stress.

💨 Strong Winds? Bring It On!
Standing seam and classic rib metal roofs withstand winds up to 140 mph, making them ideal for areas prone to storms.

🔥 Fire Resistance? Absolutely!
Unlike traditional shingles, metal roofing is non-combustible, giving your home an added layer of protection.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

One of the biggest benefits of metal roofing is its energy efficiency. Reflective coatings on metal roofs help keep your home cooler in the summer and retain heat in the winter, lowering your energy bills.

✔️ Reflects solar heat → Reduces cooling costs by up to 25%
✔️ Improves insulation → Keeps warmth inside during winter
✔️ Environmentally friendly → 100% recyclable at the end of its lifespan

Low Maintenance & Long-Term Savings

A properly installed metal roof requires minimal upkeep compared to other roofing materials.

✔️ Resistant to algae, moss, and mold
✔️ Doesn’t crack, split, or curl like shingles
✔️ Fewer repairs over time → More cost savings

With a metal roof, you’ll spend less time worrying about repairs and more time enjoying your home.
