Metal Roofs

For homeowners in South Florida, purchasing a new roof is often times a big decision. At Big G Roofing & More Inc., we’re here to help make that decision making process easier for you.

The durability and strength alone are just two of the many reasons why you and your South Florida home could benefit from a metal roof.

Given South Florida’s unpredictable weather patterns, it is important to choose a roof that can withstand the elements. Metal roofs are great for durability and performance. In storm-prone areas such as South Florida, a high-quality metal roof is an incredibly wise decision especially when installed by Big G Roofing’s team of experts.

Life Expectancy: If you plan on living in your South Florida home for the long haul, you can certainly benefit from selecting a metal roof purely because of its longevity. Depending on the material, the common lifespan of a metal roof is fifty years, which is more than double the life expectancy of traditional asphalt roofing materials. For other roof types, its common to have to do some major upkeep or even total replacement once every ten to twenty years. In order to protect your investment and help lengthen the life of your metal roof, many come with extended warranties that cover maintenance and repairs.

Durability: For homeowners and business owners in South Florida, a strong roof is critically important, especially during hurricane season. Sloughing off heavy rain, withstanding high winds, fire and mildew, and resisting rot caused by insects are just a few of the many great features of the endurance of a metal roof. Some metal roofs can even withstand wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour!

Minimal Maintenance: Contrary to their competition, metal roofs require very little maintenance. You will have peace of mind knowing that the material is lightweight, which means it is very versatile to work with and won’t put additional stress on your underlying roof structure. In fact, metal roofing is roughly ¼ the weight of a tile roof and ½ the weight of an asphalt shingle roof. Metal roofs will not crack or corrode and contrary to popular belief, many are resistant to dents as well.

Energy Efficiency: Metal roofs are considered one of the top most energy efficient types of roofs available to date. Most metal roofs are reflective of the sun’s rays, which is especially important in hot, sunny areas like South Florida. With a new metal roof, you could have the opportunity to improve your home’s energy efficiency, saving you money on your future heating and cooling costs simply because of their reflective nature. Many homeowners have seen up to a 30% savings on their cooling costs because of their new metal roof.

Environmentally Friendly: Metal roofs are a great choice for environmentally conscious homeowners. Recyclable and reusable products are becoming more and more in high demand as our world has become very aware of our growing waste epidemic. Not only are metal roofs 100% recyclable, many are already made up of recycled material. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Increased Property Value: Purchasing and having a metal roof professionally installed will increase the overall property value of your home or commercial building. With the advancements in manufacturing technology, metal roofing is easily attainable in a variety of colors and designs, so that it can truly compliment your home or office’s style and curb appeal. For those that plan on selling their property in the future, a metal roof is a smart investment.
