Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a superb material for residential buildings. If you choose the right system, you can get a roof that will easily last your lifetime and quite possible an additional 50 years or so. Expect to pay for this performance, however. Metal roofing is pricey. A metal roof can cost at least three to four times what you might expect to pay for a high quality asphalt shingle installation.

There are numerous advantages to using metal roofing. First of all, it is totally fireproof. If you live in an area that experiences wildfires, a metal roof just might save your home from a devastating roof fire caused by a wind blown ember. Metal roofs are made with environmentally friendly recyclable metals, such as steel, tin, aluminum and copper. A house with a metal roof can be extremely distinctive. When installed correctly, metal roofs are extremely wind resistant. A light colored metal roof can actually reflect a portion of the sun's radiant energy, thus lowering your cooling costs.
Aside from the traditional standing seam look, you can also install flat lock metal roofs and ones that look like traditional overlapping shingle type or Spanish clay tile roofs. Certain manufacturers have gone so far as to coat the metal roofing shingles with colored ceramic granules to simulate the look of asphalt shingles!
