As you drive up and down the streets in Bradenton, have you noticed the roofs? Metal roofing is becoming a popular choice among homeowners! No longer will you only see it only on country barns, sheds, or businesses, but homeowners are enjoying the many benefits that metal roofs offer. Here is a list of just a few of the many benefits metal roofing can provide.
Long Lasting
Choosing a metal roof will allow you to “install it and forget it”. The length of a metal roof can last nearly 50 years, with yearly inspections and minimal maintenance. An asphalt roof typically lasts half that time frame, approximately 25 years.
Durability
Bradenton is no stranger to hurricanes and tropical storms. A metal roof is a wise choice when compared to asphalt shingles as it can sustain winds up to 140 mph. Metal roofing consists of large interlocking panels allowing it to be strong against inclement weather.
Low Maintenance
When properly installed, metal roofing is a wise option for low-maintenance plans. Based on the way this material is designed, the rain should wash away the grime and dirt keeping it a clean surface. However, it is wise to check for dents, scratches, or fading. It is best to have the roof inspected twice yearly or after any major storm. Keeping an eye on your roof can minimize any future costly repairs and assist with the longevity of your roofing system.

Environmentally Friendly
Metal is recyclable, making this a wise option for the environment. If parts of the roof do need to be repaired, the metal can be repurposed into projects. Some fun projects with old metal roofing materials could be:
- Create an outdoor sculpture
- Design a tabletop
- A shelving unit
- Construct a headboard
- Place it in your kitchen as an accent wall
This list of fun projects from old metal roofing material is almost endless! And, it won’t fill up the local landfills!
Affordable
Considering this roofing material can last close to 50 years, the investment is well worth it! Metal roof warranties also tend to be exceptional. Make sure you are well aware of the warranties at the time of installation.
