If you’re in the middle of deciding if you should put an asphalt shingle roof on your home, you’re not alone. Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing residential material in the United States. This is largely due to their low cost and ease of installation. However, there are some issues with this type of roofing that you should consider prior to moving forward with a purchase.

There are a lot of common misconceptions about metal roofing. Even though these roofs are durable, attractive, and green-friendly, the rumors you may have heard might deter you from moving forward with purchasing a metal roof and choosing a different material like asphalt shingle instead.

When it’s time to pick out a color for your new metal roof, the decision gets slightly more complicated when you also have to choose which kind of paint system, or coating system, you want. While the type of paint might not seem important, it does play a big factor in the longevity of your roof’s appearance.
