Here are some of the major perks of metal roofs noted by the MRA and other roofing professionals.

1. Metal roofs are resilient. Compared to traditional building products, metal roofs last longer and can withstand more weather extremes. One of the most durable and weather-tight options available is called standing seam metal roofing.

2. Low maintenance. Because they’re intended to last a lifetime, metal roofs require little upkeep. Standing seam meal roofing will need the least amount of work because they have concealed fasteners that are protected from the elements.

3. Fire safe. Metal roofs have a Class A fire rating and are resistant to flying embers and sparks, according to the MRA.

4. Cheaper utility bills. Metal roofs reflect heat more than traditional asphalt roofs, so your attic and home won’t heat up as much.

5. A metal roof will outlive your solar panels. People with solar panels won’t have to pay as much in pricey labor costs to remove their solar panels and re-install them when it comes time to reroof their home, according to an article by industry group Metal Architecture.

6. There’s more room for creativity. There are all sorts of residential metal roof choices in terms of style, color and design. Many modern home designs use standing seam metal roofing for its sleek and sophisticated look.
