Imagine this: You’re on your front lawn looking up to your worn out, old roof. You’ve had it for many years, and the roof appears as though it’s experienced more weather than Noah. Your first thought is that it’s probably time for some change. It’s then that the big question arises. Choose between a sleek, shiny metal roof and a traditional, trusted shingle roofing system. Decisions, decisions. Visit our website and learn more about metal or shingle roofs.

Let’s start off by introducing the metal roof, the shining knight on the battlefield of roofing. A metal roofing material is not easily worn out. The Hulk is a roofing material, so what else would you expect? The metal roofs will laugh at the rain, snow or sleet. The roofs last more than 50 years. Yes, you read that right. Half a Century! Perhaps this is the best option for those who don’t have any immediate plans to move. Additionally, these materials reflect the sun’s rays to keep you cool in the heat of summer. Bonus points!

The musical side is also important. When a storm hits, have you been in a building with a metal roofing? This rain is a musical concert you will never forget! Dimmer the lights, grab some popcorn, and allow nature to be your soundtrack. The truth is, you may love or loathe this. Many people find this soothing while others feel they are trapped in a music box.

Although this performer has a dazzling appearance, it isn’t always cost-effective. This upfront cost may make your wallet wince. You might not like the upfront cost, but if it’s worth it over time, you may find it worthwhile.

Shirle roofs are a proven and reliable option. The shingle roof has been around for a long time. Asphalt shingles remain the top choice for roofs in the U.S. Asphalt shingles are simple to install and cost-effective. It is like a reliable, comfy sedan that gets you from one place to another without hassle. It’s a great way to spend countless hours playing “match that shingle” with the paintwork.

A nifty little trick is also up the sleeve of shingles. It’s not too expensive to fix them or replace them. Like a tire patch. Granted, most shingles go dormant after 20-30 years. It might help you if your children are gone and you feel like you need to get out on the road.

In extreme heat, however, shingles may be an enemy. It’s because they soak up heat so well that your air conditioner will have to go into overdrive. You might not be happy if the eggs crack on your sidewalk in summer.

The answer isn’t one-size suits all. There are pros and cons to both. This comes down a matter of what you are more interested in – longevity, strength, and the charm of shingles. Think about having your cake, and eating it as well. Discuss your options with professionals in roofing or neighbors. Or, you can daydream of the ideal roof while relaxing on a hammock. There’s no need to make hard decisions all the time. Instead, let’s enjoy our journey from the metal to the shingle.
