Roofing

Although metal roofs San Antonio homes make an excellent investment, the urge to keep with the old familiar shingle is strong. We understand, because we install a lot of asphalt-fiberglass shingle roofs. We also can point to many beautiful metal roof homes we have done. New to metal roof technology? Brush up on some basics.

Benefits of a Metal Roof:

Longevity

Metal roofing will generally last two to three times longer than an asphalt-shingle roof. Metal is also impervious to much of what Mother Nature throws at it. Except for the largest hail and broken branches (which would also destroy a shingle roof), nothing gets past the sleek surface of a metal roof.

After forty or fifty years of splendid service, the metal roof is 100 percent recyclable.

Durability

Because of its high fire resistance, metal can lower your San Antonio home’s insurance costs. Metal withstands high winds, blunt impact, all precipitation and ultraviolet damage that knocks out asphalt-fiberglass shingles and cedar shakes. TEAM BELDON® uses 24 gauge metal from Berridge, a trusted name in roofing.

Seam Styles

Two type of fastening systems are common, although at BELDON Roofing Company we use hidden fasteners exclusively. The two methods influence your roof’s overall look. Hidden fasteners provide a sleeker, more modern appearance, while exposed fastener systems install quickly and give a hi-tech look.

Hidden Fastener

  • Standing Seam—named because it stands up from the surface, a standing seam metal roof joins pieces with a mechanical lock (best) screw flange, or snap-lock for a strong, weather resistant seam running all the way down your roof

Exposed Fastener

  • Our BELDON Roofing Company TEAM does not use exposed fasteners in our residential roofs, but choices in this style include 5V Crimp, 5-rib panel, Corrugated and a 4-rib profile.

Cost Efficiency

Metal costs more initially than other roofs. An asphalt-fiberglass shingle roof’s ongoing maintenance costs, 15-year replacement cycle and high energy costs far outweigh metal’s installation costs. In energy efficiency alone, a “cool roofing” solution, such as metal, can save a San Antonio homeowner hundreds of dollars on lower central air conditioning costs.

Colors

Metal roofing’s color choices have exploded in recent years as this durable, resilient material has gained wider acceptance in residential use. Berridge metal roofing, the only brand Team BELDON® installs, comes in 23 standard colors, six metallic colors, a natural metal finish, and two premium colors.

We love the sleek appearance and great long-term investment offered by a metal roof. Contact our professionals at BELDON Roofing Company to find out if metal is the right choice for your home.
