If you’re in the market for a new roof and are considering metal roofing for your roofing material, then we’re sure one of your biggest concerns is how much a metal roof will cost. That answer was easier to answer prior to 2021.

If you’re installing a new metal roof, you have to check the local building code to ensure what type of roof underlayment your project can use.

When installing a metal roof, you cannot forget about the roofing underlayment. While it’s hidden underneath your beautiful new roof, it’s one of the key components to ensuring a long lifespan for your system.

When a metal roof is properly installed, it will last a lifetime (generally 40-60 years). However, that can all change if a step is skipped or the wrong product is used during the installation process.

To say the steel industry has had a tumultuous year would be an understatement.

Picking the right color for your metal roof is exciting, but more considerations should be made during the decision making process besides what the color looks like. Choosing the right paint system for your metal roof is a big contributing factor into how your roof will look long term.
