A Standing Seam Metal Roof to Replace Wood Shakes
It’s a classy and rustic type of roof, but many homeowners with a wood shake roof know the difficulty of keeping it in good condition. It requires constant maintenance and repair, especially after having it for a decade or so. If the need for roof replacement is coming up for your home, you should probably consider a change from wood to metal, preferably the standing seam type.
Double the Lifespan
Wood shakes can last about 20 years depending on how well you take care of them. Metal roofs, however, practically last a lifetime and do not require constant maintenance. The best installations even have paint jobs that carry 40-year warranties.
Save Energy
Standing seam metal roofing is set apart from other roofs by having unexposed fasteners. What makes this such a great feature is, as the fasteners are hidden, they are safe from wear and tear caused by changing weather conditions. This means better protection from moisture getting in or air getting out of your home, making it better ventilated and more energy-efficient.
Be Rewarded
Choosing standing seam roofing is not exactly cheap. However, the rewards are great, too. For starters, you can get a discount on your insurance premiums now that your roof is fire-resistant. You may qualify for credits on your taxes. Also, having an energy-efficient roof means smaller payments on your energy bills for years to come.

Reviews
We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.
Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
