Woot! It has started! National Love Your Roof Week! In it's honor, lets show some love for heavy metal ... no not the rock and roll stuff, the awesome roofing material option. Not that metal roofing is heavy weight wise, but because metal roofing is heavy in benefits. Metal roofing is durable. In fact, it is so durable that it has a most impressive 50 year lifespan. You heard right! A metal roof can come with a 50 Year Warranty. Another reason to check and make sure your Roofing Contractor has been around for a while and has a great reputation. You want to be assured that they will still be in business in 50 years. At the end of it's lifespan, way after it has endured intense weather without cracking, shrinking, warping or eroding, it can be recycled! In fact, it is manufactured with recycled material and is 100% recyclable! So, no matter what color metal you choose, it is still considered to be green! Speaking green, did you know that many times a metal roof can be installed right over your existing roof? That not only provides another layer of insulation, but eliminates the environmental impact of disposal.
