When it comes to roof replacement, there are several materials available to you. The cost of a typical replacement will also vary depending on several factors, such as the quality of the material and the labor needed to install it. But if you’re looking for something that’s cost-effective in the long run, we recommend going for a metal roof system.
This material surpasses other materials in many ways, including the following:
- Labor costs – Part of the cost of a typical metal roof replacement goes into how much your hired contractor charges for the installation of the project. It will be broken down into benefits and insurance, salaries and number of hours required to complete the job, and payroll taxes paid by the contractor.
Material costs – Aside from the metal material itself, part of the overall material costs include underlayment, flashings and other accessories needed for the roofing replacement.
While you may pay more upfront for metal roofs, there are many reasons why this material is a good investment.
Why Investing in a Metal Roof Is More Beneficial
Professional roofers often recommend this material to homeowners because of its practicality, particularly in energy efficiency. During winter, a metal roof does a great job of forming a tight seal and insulating your home, which means you’ll save on heating costs. Metal also reflects the sun instead of soaking up warmth during summer, so your energy costs decrease. This also means you’ll see a return on investment over time!
Since metal roofs are more durable than most materials available on the market, you won’t need to deal with constant maintenance. Of course, a professional inspection is still needed at least once a year, but metal roofs simply make it easy to perform regular maintenance yourself, including clearing debris or securing fasteners and screws.
When it comes to excellent metal roofing installation, only hire professional roofing contractors for the job. Call TEO Construction today at (301) 466-3630 for more information, or you can fill out our convenient online contact form.
