Let’s talk about the pros and cons of Metal Roofs. These roof types are becoming more popular for residential use.

Metal Roofing Systems

Metal roofs are quite versatile and can be composed of zinc, aluminum, copper, or galvanized steel.

Pros

• They are incredibly durable and can withstand conditions of wind storms, snow, and rain. 
• Resistant to mildew, fire, insect infestation, and rot
• Extremely lightweight
• They can be applied directly atop another material 
• Easy installation
• Energy-efficient in the long run, as it reflects the sun’s heat and can spare air conditioning costs.

Cons

• It’s expensive compared to alternatives (however, because of its longevity, it can save money in the long run when it comes to maintenance and replacement)
• It’s noise-sensitive to the impact of rain, producing a drumming effect that could be a nuisance to some
• Unsafe for walking on during wet weather
• It can dent easily
