No one wants to think about roofing issues. It’s right up there with cleaning out or repairing your gutters. What every homeowner really needs to be aware of is that with asphalt roofs you are going to have be ready to make repairs. After a strong storm asphalt shingles are notorious for flying off and this leaves you having to scramble to get your roof replaced. The other issue is that asphalt just doesn’t last. It can require re-roofing every 12 to 20 years, with the average age of roofing replaced in the U.S. being only 17 years.

Ask any Expert: It Doesn’t Get any Stronger than a Metal Roof
For years, asphalt has definitely been leading the game when it comes to residential roofing options. It’s readily available and it’s cost is relatively low compared to other roofing products. However , when you factor in that asphalt has a horrible shelf life, it doesn’t add up to be a very good deal after all! I mean, who wants to replace their roof after a measly 10-15 years? Not me!

There are so many reasons why metal roofing is becoming more and more popular. For years, this material has been picking up steam with businesses but now metal is becoming the new “go to” material for residential homes as well. So why is it becoming so popular? For starters, a traditional asphalt roof may be cheaper but it doesn’t hold up in high winds or any extreme weather conditions for that matter. Plus, it needs to be replaced every 10-15 years! Who wants to have to get their roof replaced after that small amount of time? Not me!

Make a SMART Investment & Stop Worrying about your Roof
Stop worrying about your roof every time it storms. Asphalt may be cheaper initially but it just doesn’t hold up. Who wants to replace their roof every 10-15 years? If you’re tired of having to worry about your roof than you need to consider a metal roof. It’s a smart investment that can make a difference in the value of your home, beyond the cost of the roof itself. The results of a study on metal roofing were presented in “Remodeling Magazine,” which found that homeowners who replaced an existing roof with metal recouped 86.7 percent of their cost when it came time to sell their homes. Wow, that’s a great ROI (return on investment.)

Chances are, your roof is probably the last thing on your mind. Most homeowners really would rather never think about their roof. It serves a very important service but having to replace it every 10-15 years is a huge expense and headache! Most asphalt roof systems are designed to protect your home for about 15 years.
