Are Metal Roofs Durable?

When properly installed, metal roofs can withstand wind gusts up to 140 mph. Most metal roofs will not corrode in Independence, MO, as long as the right type is chosen for this area’s climate. Coatings and treatments are available to provide even more protection.

Depending on the thickness of the metal you choose, metal roofing can withstand hail of up to 2″ in diameter, as well as other impacts such as blown debris. The thickness is referred to as “gauge,” with the smaller numbers indicating thicker and stronger material. For example, 29 gauge is thinner than 26 gauge, of the two most common thicknesses available. 26 gauge is much more resistant to denting from hail than 29 gauge.

It is important to note that sometimes hail does still dent metal roofs. Cook Roofing Company suggests that you maintain insurance coverage on your new metal roof, even though carriers often suggest an exclusion to save money. Call us at 816-680-6996 to find out more about metal roofs today.

How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost?

Standing Seam Metal Roofs are often as much as two or three times more expensive than an architectural shingle roof. While the life of a metal roof is much longer, investing in a metal roof only makes sense if you plan to stay in your home long enough to enjoy the cost benefits. However, you should recoup about 85-95% of the cost of a new metal roof when you sell your home. Trust the specialists at Cook Roofing Company to give you a competitive and thorough estimate of the cost of a new metal roof. Financing is available in many cases.

How Much Maintenance Will My Metal Roof Need?

One of the appeals of a metal roof is their long-lasting durability, but how often will your roof need to be serviced? Metal roofs are built to last decades, resist rust and water damage, and will dry out more quickly than a traditional roof.

The roof itself should not need much attention once installed other than some basic cleaning to keep it free of leaves, debris, or other foreign objects which may unknowingly cause water to collect. As for long term care, about every 20 years you should have your roof resealed and repainted, as well as checking any replacing certain parts like old gaskets.

FAQ

Will metal roofing increase noise in my home when it rains?
If there is no insulation between the metal roof and the interior, metal roofs can be noisy. This is more common in barns, sheds, and smaller homes in warmer climates. In most modern homes, though, there is enough insulation and sound barrier between the roof and the inside of the house that it dampens the sound. Additional soundproofing can be installed to lessen the sound even more, making it practically silent.
Can I install metal roofing myself, or should I hire roofing experts?
Well, some homeowners (DIY enthusiasts) may feel confident installing metal roofs themselves. However, we recommend that you hire a certified roofing expert to do the installation for you since they have the right tools for the job and experience. Roofing experts will also know the right design to use, and the right roof type your home needs based on your location. Therefore, it is best you leave the work of installing a metal roof to the experts.
Will a metal roof be too heavy for small structures?
No. In fact, metal roofs are lighter than asphalt shingle roofs by a greater margin. They are also lighter than slate and concrete tiles. You should not worry about metal roofing overloading your small structure.
