Benefits of Metal Roofs
One reason Colony Roofers began providing metal roof installation in Atlanta, GA is that we recognized how versatile and durable these roofing systems are. Not only will you get a roof that will last 50 years or longer, but you also have more choices with this type of roof than with almost any other roofing system on the market today.
Metal roofs can be styled to look like shingles or tiles or you can install snap-lock standing seam panels and you’ll get the same protection and value. Modern metal roofing also comes in a variety of colors to fit any home design. Among the metals that you can choose for a metal roof installation are aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper.
While Colony Roofers can work with any type of metal roof, we specialize in copper and snap-lock standing seam metal.
- Copper roofing: While initially a little more expensive than other metal roofing materials, copper offers benefits other metals do not. Besides being very aesthetically pleasing, they actually improve with age, rather than show deterioration like other metals. Like aluminum, they do not rust, although they can corrode. They are also lightweight and generally won’t require any extra support when installed.
- Standing seam metal: Although metal roofing can be shaped like shingles or tiles, standing seam metal is still preferred by many homeowners because it’s offered in multiple lengths, widths, and thicknesses. For residential roofing, snap-lock standing seam is the most common choice.
Like all standing seam, the fasteners, which snap together, are concealed under the seams of the interlocking panels. This protects the fasteners from weathering and damage, lessening the chance of problems like leaks. Metal roofs expand and contract slightly, but the standing seam allows for that.
Metal Roof Repairs
While metal roofs are durable and low maintenance, they are still subject to wear and damage. But, when you need metal roof repair in Atlanta, GA, our experienced crews will have you covered, no matter the problem. Of course, one common problem metal roofs experience is rust, often caused by leaks.
While our skilled professionals can patch leaks or replace rusted metal panels, one option some take is a roof coating. Elastomeric coatings like silicone or acrylic are applied over the roof and create a barrier against leaks. They are also reflective and benefit your home’s energy efficiency.
Another concern people have about metal roofing is noise. Most metal roofs are backed with rigid foam insulation for noise reduction. Another option for noise reduction is foam roofing.
Because it is less aesthetically appealing, it is more often used in commercial metal roofing, but can be used on residential roofing as well for noise reduction. Foam also protects the roof from leaks and improves energy efficiency.
