Metal Roofing Contractors of Sunrise

Overall, metal roofs are not the cheapest option in the market, but they are quite affordable in the long-term for two reasons:

• They offer over 80% of ROI regardless of the one you decide to install.
• You will enjoy them for over 50 years, while other roofing systems can offer you half the time. In a few words, longevity makes it worth it.

When it comes to your roof, you should keep in mind that the aspect or element of longevity cares a lot. You do not want a roof that will last only a few years while there is another that can promise you decades of use just like metal roofing. Take clay tiles as an example.

Roofing systems that are usually focused on using clay, slate, concrete, and asphalt will not last more than 25 years. This is an average since they can end up lasting even 10 or 15 years. This means you will have to worry about replacing the roof or re-roofing it at some point when you should be worried about performing maintenance only. It is important to look at the entire picture instead of only focusing on the price or cost it represents at the beginning. In short, look at roofing systems as an investment instead of an expense.

Metal roofs are known for being able to mimic many roofing systems in the market, and those include slate and cedar shingles, which are quite expensive. We have to be realistic about the fact that people worry more about the aesthetical part of the roof instead of the functional one that involves the entire performance. As a result, it ended up being important to point out the designs and styles available with each roofing system.

Well, in the case of metal roofs, you will never be disappointed but rather the opposite, surprised. You can obtain a very specific design if you get the right metal roofing system. For example, you can use metal shingles to mimic clay tiles, slate, or cedar shingles—as we mentioned before. While you can go for a standing seam to get a modern style with durability and longevity included.

As for the colors and more elements, everything depends on the material and option you chose at the beginning. With ‘option’ we are referring to using panels, shingles, or tiles. You can get creative with your design, but keep in mind there is a lot to consider if you want to obtain something that might not be possible with the panels or shingles you chose. For example, if you are trying to have a roof with some texture, you cannot use standing seam for this nor corrugated panels. Instead, stone-coated steel sounds just right as well as any other variation to it. We know, there is a lot to learn about roofs in this matter, but you will get used to it right after starting to look for yours and getting creative with the options available.

Replacing or removing a roof is inevitable at some point. If it is old or was too damaged over the years, there are not too many things you can do about it. However, when you are looking to replace it in order to obtain a different design, most people think carefully about it since no one wants to deal with the tough task of getting rid of debris, dirt, and having to deal with pollution. In the case of metal roofs, they can be the solution to all your problems.

First, you can install ANY metal roof over an existing roof as long as it is in good condition or well enough to get panels and shingles placed over it. And the best part is that those panels and metal parts are quite easy and fast to install. However, this does not mean you should do it by yourself. Installing metal roofs is easy since they are lightweight, but poor installation can mess up the entire lifecycle of the roof.

Many of the repairs and serious problems property owners have to deal with when owning a metal roof are due to the installation—the first one. Therefore, do not underestimate the task and make sure to contact companies like ours, Elite Metal Roofing Contractors of Sunrise. We will make sure to deliver the best installation be it for new construction or over an existing roof. Our team will help you to save time, effort, and money during this project.

Among all the roofing options available, you will notice that metal roofs are one of the few that can work well with any type of climate. And this includes hot weather like the one we have in Florida. Many people believe the opposite, that metal roofs are only good for heavy rains and snow. This was true for a while and many years ago.

Nowadays, since the coating can help with the performance of the roof, any of them is able to deliver excellent performance in the scorching sun. Actually, metal roofs were always able to reflect heat and cool down properties. But over time, it is harder to continue offering the same benefit and this is when the coating plays its role the most. Now, this is part of the performance of the roof and one of the main reasons people decide to install it at the end of the day. What about the noise that everyone talks about?

Noise is not a problem when you choose the right coating—as well—and the cover that can help to reduce it. Most of the common problems that metal roofs used to have such as noise, climate limitations, corrosion, and rust, can be held back and handled with the right additions to the panels and shingles. Of course, to know all this and determine which ones your metal roof needs, you will need our professionals and experts to suggest the best coating and paint for the pieces. Overall, metal roofs never disappoint their owners since they are able to resist any climate, they are less dangerous when a natural disaster takes place, you can deal with them quite easily—repairs, maintenance, and other services. And you do not have to worry about having to replace them anytime soon. There is nothing you should not love about them, and we have to admit that although they are not perfect, they are very close to it.
