As part of our experience as a Kansas City Roofer, we do a great deal of work involving metal roofing. A lot of this is in a commercial environment, but over the years, a growing number of residential clients are also embracing metal roofs for their properties. Unfortunately, there are still a few misconceptions out there regarding this type of roofing and when it is suggested over a more traditional option like wood shingle customers are often surprised! The truth is, many people hear metal roof and picture a warehouse, not a home! However, that is certainly not the case – you can choose some attractive options.
Let’s take some time to dispel some of the misconceptions surrounding metal roofing for residential properties!
Style & Color Options a Kansas City Roofer Can Offer
As already stated, something a Kansas City roofer will hear often is that metal roofing is going to limit the choice of styles and colors. That is certainly not the case! Metal roofing is available in a huge variety of colors and style that will mimic the look of shingle, slate, or tile. This allows property owners to choose the combination that is right for their roof – even making sure that it is in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood if that is a concern. Anyone unsure of how a metal roof is going to look can try out the Metal Roof Visualizer tool offered by our supplier Kassel & Irons.
Hot & Cold Climates
Some people believe that a metal roof is going to cause overheating in the property. However, the reality is that they will not absorb heat the way other materials such as tiles do. Metal roofs reflect heat away from the property, keeping it cooler! Homeowners can make a saving of 20% or more on energy costs when installing a metal roof. Another common misconception is that metal roofing will not fare well in colder climates. As an experienced Kansas City Roofer, we can tell you that a metal roof will not freeze! It will not absorb moisture like wood or slate. Thus making it one of the most stable roofing materials that are available today.
These are just a few of the common misconceptions people seem to have about choosing metal roofing. Many benefits come along with metal roofing materials, and we are happy to discuss the options we can provide.
