Metal Roof

Metal Roofs – The Undisputed Leaders in the Roofing Market. Metal roofs are the undisputed favorites in the roofing market. They provide reliable protection for homes for many years, maintain their appearance even after a long time, preserve the environment, and have high safety standards.

Why a Metal Roof Benefits Both the Environment and Homeowners

When choosing roofing material, customers consider its eco-friendliness, safety, and impact on health. Here, metal roofing is not inferior to alternatives and even surpasses some of them. Here’s why:

Roofing & Siding of Cape Cod uses metal roofing materials that are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan. This reduces natural resource consumption and preserves ecosystems.
The durability of metal sheets for roofing means less frequent replacements, reducing industrial waste.
Metal helps maintain comfortable indoor conditions in both summer and winter, reducing electricity costs for heating or air conditioning.
Zinc, often used as a primary element in protective coatings, is safe for both the environment and human health.

Additionally, mold, lichens, moss, and fungus do not develop on metal surfaces. These elements not only affect the aesthetic appearance of a home but can also cause health issues.

In terms of safety, metal is one of the best fire-resistant materials. Such a roof will not ignite in seconds but will serve as a strong barrier against fire.

Metal roofs are also an ideal base for solar panels. For many homeowners, solar panels are an alternative energy source that reduces environmental impact and provides free electricity.

Durability in Coastal Climates

Coastal regions, including Cape Cod, face severe weather challenges. Storms, hurricanes, hail, and heavy winter snowfalls are common in our area. Metal roofing successfully withstands nature’s extremes:

We work with metal roofing sheets that are highly resistant to corrosion and rust formation. Even if a home is located directly by the bay and storm waves reach the roof, the coating will remain undamaged.
The smooth surface of metal roofing prevents excessive snow accumulation.
Metal roofs withstand even powerful storms. The nominal wind load such a roof can handle is 165 mph.
High-quality insulation prevents wind and cold air from penetrating the home.

Our experts recommend metal roofing as one of the most reliable solutions for the harsh conditions of coastal regions.
