A lot of Austin business and residential buildings are turning to the longest-lasting and
most stylish roofing choice: metal.
Combining significantly lower maintenance costs and upscale visual appeal, metal roofing is a smart choice.
However, you need to make sure you choose a roofer that's experienced.
Here are four reasons why:
1.) Experienced Metal Roofers Provide Expert Weatherproofing
With the heat, wind, ice, and hailstorms in the Austin area, your roof needs to be able to stand up to a beating. Unlike traditional 3-tab shingles that have many parts that can be lifted off during a storm, metal roofs are much more secure and able to resist wind when they are correctly installed.
Metal roofs are excellent at protecting your property during the worst storms, but they need to be installed correctly and expertly in order to give your home or business the best weatherproofing possible.
2.) Experienced Metal Roofers Offer Fire Resistant Construction
Wildfires that we have experienced in the Austin area have heightened our awareness of fire-resistant buildings. The roof is one of the first lines of protection for your building, and metal roofing offers the best protection with much less load on your roof than other fire-safe products like tile. However, it is important to have an experienced roofer assess your building to make sure you get the most fire protection possible.
3.) Experienced Metal Roofers Can Customize Your Roof
Every building has a different pitch to the roof and a different orientation toward the sun. An experienced metal roofer like Longhorn Roofing takes those details into consideration when planning a new roof on a home or business. In fact, we actually customize all aspects of our metal roofing, this means that we:
- Make our own metal panels on-site to match the roof
- Fit the roof perfectly to your building
- Plan the roof to take the best advantage of your location and the pitch of your roof to achieve highest energy efficiency
- Make careful and personalized recommendations about roofing coatings based on your building, your budget and your needs
