Why Metal Roofing Is Perfect For Your Home In Kent, WA

To roof with metal or not to roof with metal, that is the question. Let's be honest here, most people love the thought of truly not having to go through the hassle of roof replacement in Kent, WA for another 50 or more years. The problem is the sticker shock or perceived value of a metal roof vs. the value or cost of other less expensive roofing types that can save you money on the front end. In order to understand better why you should not just pass over the metal roof option due to the price tag we spent some time with a few local roofing contractors in the area that shared a few points with us including: 

  • Metal roofing is a true lifetime roofing system that lasts for 50 years or more. 
  • You will replace an asphalt roofing system 2-3 times in the life span of a metal roof. 
  • Metal roofing has a higher solar reflectance than asphalt shingles, wood shakes, concrete tile and torchdown. 
  • Metal roofing cools down quicker than other roofing products. On a hot day even though the temperatures reduce in the evening your asphalt shingles stay very hot keeping the temperatures in your home up. Metal roofing heats up and cools down very rapidly so when the temperature drops in the evening your metal roof will help your home to cool off. 
  • The solar reflectence keeps the temperature of your home down as well reducing power bills. 
  • Decades down the road when the roof does need to be replaced all of the material is 100% recyclable making a metal roof environmentally friendly.
