Why Your Home Needs a Steel Roof

Written by Caleb Oberg | Mar 21, 2024 10:49:01 PM

The roof over your head does more than just increase the value of your home. More than anything, your roofing system protects you and your loved ones against the dangers of the elements, all while providing your home with a beautiful exterior. Bearing this in mind, it’s in your best interest as a homeowner to invest in a roof system that offers excellent performance without fail. Enter steel roofs.

Oberg Roofing and Remodeling Inc. highlights the unique features of this particular roofing option.

Longevity

In a nationwide survey done by the Metal Construction Association (MCA) involving steel roofs in various climates and conditions, steel roofs were found to last for 60 years or more. That’s four full decades more than most roofing options on the market today. The 60-year service life of steel roofs matches the lifespan of the buildings themselves. It’s understandable to balk at the initial cost of a steel roof. However, keep in mind that what you’re paying for is a highly durable roofing option. This translates to lower roof repair costs and a significantly reduced need for a roof replacement. In the case of steel roofs, the benefits far outweigh the initial cost.

Upkeep

When it comes to being low maintenance, you’d be hard-pressed to find a roofing material quite like a steel roof. During the study by the MCA, metal roofs that haven’t been repaired or even maintained for 30 years were still intact. A steel roof, when installed and coated properly, requires little maintenance. With the exception of extreme damage due to severe weather, a deteriorating steel roof is the last thing you’ll ever have to worry about as a homeowner.

You’ll sleep better at night knowing that your steel roof doesn’t take breaks from protecting you and your family from the elements.
