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!

If you’re sick and tired of dealing with “roofing issues” every time it storms or is windy outside, you need to rethink your asphalt roof. Asphalt is heavily used because of its low cost. The problem is that when you factor in just how many time you are making repairs it really isn’t that great of a deal! Asphalt is pretty much like putting a “band-aid” fix on something because it only has a shelf-life of ten to fifteen years.

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!
