Did you know that metal roofing is the in-thing for Florida homeowners? In fact, 10-14 percent of people opt for the same in the US. The local weather poses many challenges to home builders in the Sunshine State. The roofs are susceptible to extreme heat and ultraviolet rays causing much damage over time. Coastal homes, on the contrary, expose them to high winds, hurricanes, cyclones, and salt spray. Most of these elements will affect the roofing materials and even damage its structure permanently. So if you are building a new home on your lot, ask your builder to provide you with the best materials. Here are some other benefits of opting for metal:

Cost Savings

Though metal roofs involve more upfront cost, they are beneficial in the long-term. You will enjoy a maximum return on your investment due to low maintenance and energy costs. If you are planning to stay in your property for many years, the cost savings are worth your outlay. In fact, a metal roof will let you save up to 40 percent on your electricity bills. American homes with metal roofs enjoy higher appreciation than those without them.

Long Lasting

We at All State Homes use the best roofing materials to sustain inclement weather. Zinc and aluminum, for example, are known for their high resistivity to strong winds blowing at a speed of 110 or 160 miles per hour. Their resistance to impact damage makes them a preferred choice for homeowners in Florida. Metal roofing materials do not soak up moisture and will not peel off with time. They are also rust, and mildew -resistant. As if that is not all, metal roofs require little to zero maintenance.

Appealing

You can choose from varied design and color schemes. You can pick out a brilliant shade or an earth tone based on your aesthetic sense. Copper, for instance, will add a unique accent to your new home. That is why copper roofing is a favorite choice for homeowners, builders, and architects alike.
