Dependable, Durable Metal Roofing
Dependable, durable metal roofing is moving from Texas farm and commercial buildings onto San Antonio residences with ever-greater frequency. Your neighbors may have already chosen this attractive crown for their home, and now you may be wondering if a metal roof is right for you. When considering a new roof (whether you have an existing metal roof or a shingle roof), metal roof replacement is an outstanding option.
How Long Do Metal Roofs Last?
A well-made shingle roof might survive 30 years, a point when a metal roof is still in its prime. Metal roofs can easily last 50 to 60 years.
Are Metal Roofs Really Expensive?
If you consider one metal roof can outlast three asphalt-fiberglass shingle roofs, it is very economical. At BELDON® Roofing Company, we consider the installation cost of metal roof replacement to be more than shingles, about the same cost as ceramic or concrete tile, and less expensive than slate.
Are Metal Roofs Noisy and Hot?
A metal roof is not a drum. It is firmly attached to your San Antonio home and actually deadens noise from severe weather. The metal roofs we install reflect radiant heat, are usually treated with special paints and coatings to improve emissivity, and cool off far faster than shingle roofs.
Many homeowners in hot climates prefer metal roof replacement because the metal withstands ultraviolet radiation (sun damage) better than shingles or shakes. If humidity is a concern, algae cannot get a foothold on a metal roof.
Are Metal Roofs Safe?
Agree to a metal roof replacement on your San Antonio home and you just may get a rate reduction on your homeowners insurance. Metal roofing is fire safe—meaning they are far more fire resistant than shingles. High winds cannot lift a metal roof the way they can peel away entire strips of shingles. Sturdy but lightweight, metal roofing is attached to your home along seams, interlocks, and crimps.
Do Metal Roofs Interfere with Cell Phone service?
Cell phone or satellite reception is unaffected when you plan on metal roof replacement. Consider all the places you use a cell phone now—shopping malls, restaurants, offices—that have metal roofs.
At BELDON® Roofing Company we sometimes talk to folks who are worried about lightning strikes. With a metal roof replacement, you are not changing the elevation of your San Antonio home, so lightning—which seeks the highest local spot—will be no more attracted to your home than it was before. There are options for lightning rod installation to help divert any possible lightning strikes if your home is in a susceptible area.
