You’re tired of replacing your asphalt shingle roof every 15-25 years and want a roof that lasts longer, such as metal. We get it. Getting your roof replaced isn’t fun, nor is it cheap. We know it’s an inconvenience to you, your family, and your pets. It’s messy and noisy. Although we do an impeccable job cleaning up outside, we know the re-roofing process still kicks up dust inside your home and garage.
If you’re shopping for the best metal roof for your home in Colorado, good for you. You’ve taken the first step towards a longer-lasting roof and saving money. A metal roof saves you money in the long run because they last a lot longer than traditional asphalt shingles. Most shingle roofs only last between 15 and 25 years if professionally installed and regularly maintained. A metal roof, on the other hand, should last 3x as long, at 70 years or more. That’s because metal roofing is more durable than traditional fiberglass asphalt shingles.
We have two metal roof options for your consideration: stone-coated steel and standing seam.
Stone-Coated Steel Metal Roof
Stone-coated steel comes in 3 styles: shingles, shake, and tiles. Steel shingles have the appearance of traditional asphalt shingles, while steel shake resembles real wood shake, and tiles resemble real clay barrel tiles. How do you decide between steel shingles, shake, and tile? It only comes down to appearance. Other than that, they all function the same, last as long, and will protect your home equally. We offer stone-coated steel roofing products from Decra and Westlake Royal Roofing. Both manufacturers produce top-quality roofing products you can depend on.
The advantages of stone-coated steel roofing products are that if they dent, for example, from hail, it’s not as noticeable, thanks to the stones or granules adhered to them. Another perk of stone-coated steel shingles, shake, or tile is that they resemble traditional roofing products they’re manufactured to mimic. From a distance, a passerby can’t tell the difference between real wood shake and stone-coated steel shake.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
Although the profiles of standing seam metal roofing panels differ slightly, they all look similar. Like stone-coated steel roofs, your new standing seam roof should last 70 years or more when professionally installed and regularly maintained. We manufacture our own standing seam metal roofing panels for a perfect fit to your home.
The big advantages of standing seam are that it’s the most energy-efficient roof available today, and they come in the most colors. No other roof covering reflects more heat than standing seam. The result is a cooler home and a lower utility bill. Standing seam roofing is available in dozens of colors, unlike any other roof covering.
Which is Best for You?
If you want to save money, the best metal roof for you is standing seam since it’s the most energy-efficient. However, if you want a roof that resembles traditional asphalt shingles, real wood shake, or classic barrel tiles, the best metal roof for you is stone-coated steel, since it resembles traditional roofing products but lasts much longer.
Standing seam saves you money
Stone-coated steel hides dents and resembles real shingles, shake, or tiles.
