Metal Roofing
March 30, 2009
The metal roof cost can seem astronomical when comparing it to a traditional asphalt shingle roof. But to just compare absolute material cost and no other factors is not comparing apples to apples.
Metal roofing does not get its cost effectiveness from its materials. To better understand the expense, we are more apt to examine the differences in an asphalt roof versus a metal one.
Asphalt always looks like a bargain. At approximately one third of the metal roof cost and warranty slapped on the package boasting twenty years or better, it seems clear to the uninformed that an asphalt roof will provide the same performance at a fraction of the payout. Over our time, warranties have become more a tool for marketing than a display of quality.
We, as consumers assume a company will stand behind their product for a specified amount of time but the details are in the small print. Dont take me wrong, there are a lot of great warranties out there but its key to understand their limitations and fine print when taking the warranty into account. Upon further examination, we see that most shingle warranties do not cover their claimed lifespan. Instead, the company heavily pro rates the value so if and when you were ever to file a warranty claim, you would never recover the amount of the initial product. And remember, these warranties do not cover the cost of installing metal roofing or replacement.
This form of roofing comes in many different metal roof colors.
