Most roofs in North Carolina are made of asphalt shingles. They're affordable, easy to install, and widely available in a range of colors and styles. But asphalt isn't your only option. Have you considered switching to metal roofing here in the Burlington, Greensboro and Durham area? The popularity of metal roofing can no longer be ignored — across the Piedmont Triad, more homeowners are choosing this durable, long-lasting, beautiful and surprisingly lightweight material every year.
Maybe you're not yet aware of everything a metal roof can offer — including the popular standing-seam metal roof. We're here to walk you through it and show you why metal roofs are a smart choice for today's savvy homeowner.
The Benefits of Metal Roofing
From longevity to cost efficiency, there are a number of real advantages to installing a metal roof on your Triad home.
Longevity of Metal Roofs
Metal roofing delivers decades of reliable performance. In fact, it's quite possible you'll only ever replace your roof once when you go with metal. A well-cared-for metal roof can last 50 to 75 years or more, and it's easy to maintain — the need for repairs and upkeep is minimal. That means real peace of mind, knowing your investment is protected for decades to come. Some metal roofing products, such as steel shingles, even come with a lifetime warranty.
Cost Efficiency
Metal roofing may cost a bit more than asphalt shingles up front. But it's best to think of that as an investment in the future of your roof and your home. Spending a little more now pays off down the road, because your roof will last so much longer that replacement isn't on your radar anytime soon. A metal roof can last two to three times longer than an asphalt roof, which makes the decision to invest now a pretty easy call.
On top of that, metal roofing is energy-efficient, which can help keep your utility costs down. And who doesn't want to save money where they can?
Metal Roofs Are Environmentally Friendly
More homeowners want roofing materials that are easy on the environment, and metal roofing fits the bill. It's a sustainable choice and, at the end of its long life, metal is recyclable rather than destined for a landfill. If being a responsible, eco-minded homeowner matters to you, metal roofing is worth a serious look.
Metal Roofs Offer a Variety of Colors and Styles
When you picture a metal roof, you might think of commercial buildings and barns — but the industry has come a long way. Today's metal roofing is a perfect fit for residential homes, available in a wide variety of colors and styles to match your home's character and reflect your personality.
Why Triad Homeowners Are Making the Switch
Put it all together and the appeal is clear. A metal roof gives you:
- Decades of lifespan — 50 to 75 years or more with proper care.
- Long-term value — two to three times the life of an asphalt roof, with minimal maintenance.
- Energy efficiency — that can help lower your cooling costs.
- An eco-friendly, recyclable material.
- Curb appeal — modern colors and styles for any home.
If your current roof is showing its age, it's also worth weighing metal against a traditional asphalt shingle roof before you commit. Both are excellent options — the right one depends on your home, your budget and how long you plan to stay.
It's quite possible you'll only ever replace your roof once — when you go with metal.
