If you're in the market for a new roof, consider the pros and cons of a metal roof. Here are some key benefits to keep in mind:

1. Durability and Longevity: Metal roofs are known for their durability and longevity. They can withstand strong winds, are fire-resistant, and can last for the lifetime of the house.
2. Warranty: Factor Roofing uses metal roofs with a Kynar finish, which comes with a 40-year warranty. For homes near the ocean, they recommend OceanGuard coating, which has a 50-year warranty. Surveys have shown that metal roofs can last up to 70 years.
3. Environmental Friendliness: Metal roofs are an environmentally friendly option. They are made with at least 30% recycled material and are 100% recyclable. They are also lightweight compared to other roofing materials and can reduce waste, as asphalt shingle waste accounts for 20 billion pounds in the US alone.
4. Energy Efficiency and Savings: Metal roofs are an investment that can save homeowners money in the long run. They reflect solar heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%. Depending on the homeowner's zip code, they may be eligible for rebates from the water and power department. Metal roofs are also fire-resistant, which a lot of insurance companies offer discounts for homeowners that have metal roofs.
5. Value: Many real estate experts indicate that houses with metal roofs can add about 6% to the property's total value. In average houses with metal roof appraise more than houses that have any other roofing systems.

However, metal roofs can be expensive, costing up to three times more than asphalt shingles. Factor Roofing offers financing options and a pre-approval process that takes only two minutes. We also offer a limited 25-year workmanship warranty and a warranty on metal roofs that can go up to 50 years.

Overall, metal roofs offer many benefits, including durability, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness. While they may be a larger investment upfront, they can provide long-term savings and increase the value of a property.
