The Case for Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt is a popular option for roofing because of its low-installation cost and because it is an industry standard. It is usually considered the baseline for roofing. Compared with metal roofing, it falls short in many aspects, but it does have a couple of things going for it. The first of those is its low installation cost. The other is its relatively low noise. Metal roofing can be noisy during torrential rainfall and hail. Granted, there are options to minimize the sound of impact against metal roofing. Atlanta Pro Roofing has insulation and barrier options to reduce this sound.
The Case for Metal Roofing
First and foremost, metal is much more durable than asphalt. Metal can withstand high winds, extreme temperatures, and impact from falling trees, branches, and hail. By extension, the longevity of metal roofing is also superior. While asphalt roofing must be replaced after about 20 years, metal roofing can last up to 70 years. This means that an asphalt roof will be replaced three to four times before a metal roof is replaced once.
Metal roofing is also advantageous on the financial front. It requires much less maintenance and repairs in addition to its low-frequency replacement needs. Further, metal roofing is, surprisingly, more energy efficient. You might think that metal would make your home heat up, but the opposite is true. Metal roofing reflects the sun’s heat and helps you save on cooling costs. Finally, metal roofing can increase your home’s resale value because it is considered an upgrade while asphalt is considered a default or baseline standard.
The aesthetics of metal roofing can be considered a drawback, but there are options that beautify metal roofs. Stone-coated steel roofing, for example, offers attractive patterns and textures for your roofing upgrade.
