Ask Chris - Why Are Metal Roofs So Uncommon?

Q. When I look around at the roofs in my area, I don't see very many made of metal. Why is that?

A. Many roofs are chosen not for their long-term performance, but for their price and convenience. If you're considering replacing your roof and value things like long-term performance, beauty, eco-friendliness and durability, particularly if you're planning on staying in your home, the normal roof replacement choices (i.e. asphalt composition, concrete tile) may not be at the top of your list after a bit of investigation. I highly encourage you to learn about the features and benefits of quality metal roofing and remember to ask lots of questions about any material you're considering. After all, even a cheap roof costs thousands of dollars.

Oh, and once you start learning more about metal roofing, I bet you'll be surprised to discover that many of the beautiful roofs in your area actually are metal!
