Why are so many people choosing a permanent metal roofing solution over a traditional paper shingle?

Beauty!

Most people choose a press formed metal product by Metal Roofing Systems simply because of how the metal shingle enhances the look of their home. Half of what you see when you look at a home is the roof and we carry many styles and colors that truly are bold and beautiful!

Asphalt shingles just ain't what they used to be!

The old 20 year asphalt shingle once lasted almost twenty years. However, all major shingle manufacturers have significantly changed the way they make their product. Petroleum, the preservative in asphalt shingles, has been dramatically reduced and it has been replaced with fillers such as (can you believe it?) limestone and paper! "New and improved" is really just heavy and vulnerable! The producers of asphalt shingles mislead us by labeling their goods as "30 and 40 year" products when their roof and its warranty deteriorate much earlier. Mold and fungus attack the asphalt shingle (due to the limestone) and rapid deterioration ensues. A Metal Roofing Systems' roof will stay looking great for decades and carries a non-pro-rated warranty for as long as you own our home!

Metal Roofing Systems' Roof is the very greenest!

Made from 95-98% recycled aluminum, our most popular shingle stands alone as the very greenest roofing product on the market today! On average, it takes 1176 retired soda pop cans to make 100 square feet of aluminum roofing. The Classic shingle, with the patented Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 finish, reflects the heating rays of the sun and will translate into cooling cost reduction of 20% or more! The aluminum shingle can be installed directly over your existing roof thereby eliminating the need for landfill disposal, not to mention the mess and cost of a shingle tear off!

A temporary asphalt roof costs much more than a permanent metal roof!

A permanent roof will add instant real value to your home. A temporary roof will add nothing to the equity of your home. As a matter of fact the asphalt shingle begins to depreciate in value the moment it is installed. Considering a new roof now and another in 10-12 years (at an inflated cost) a new permanent metal roof will significantly reduce your annual cost of protecting your home!
