Common Metal Roofing Misconceptions Debunked

Metal roofing’s many features and benefits are undeniable. It remains one of the toughest and most reliable options for both commercial and residential roofing. Despite this, many misconceptions still persist, causing many homeowners to think twice.

Here are four common misconceptions about metal roofing debunked.

1. Metal roofing only fits certain styles of homes

Nothing could be further from the truth. With the sheer volume of colors, textures, and designs available, metal roofing has enough versatility to fit in with any type of home style. You can even order custom colors in some cases.

2. Metal roofing is noisy

While this may come as a surprise, metal roofing can actually be quieter than other roofing options. It isn’t loud at all. Thanks in large part to the solid sheathing that’s attached to the underlayment, it reduces noise from rain, hail, and debris.

3. Metal Roofing isn’t reliable under extreme weather

Experienced roofers will attest to the durability of metal roofing. Metal has consistently performed well under inclement weather conditions. In fact, its best-selling point is that it can withstand bad weather much better than most roofing types available in the market.

4. Metal roofing is too expensive

The initial cost of metal roofing may be higher compared to other roofing alternatives. However, if you factor in the fact that it lasts longer, requires no maintenance whatsoever, and isn’t prone to issues that plague other roofing types, you’ll realize that it’s a cost-effective roofing option.

Take a look at its many features and benefits if you’re having second thoughts about metal as a roofing option for your home. Metal roofing is a worthy investment for homeowners looking for energy efficiency, performance, and sheer durability.

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!
