Metal Roof Installation and Repair

Most people have a misconception when it comes to metal roofing. It stirs up images of the corrugated tin barn roof, extremely loud rain showers, and increased risk of lightning strikes. On the contrary, metal roofing comes in various colors, and can be made to look like cedar or even slate tiles. Also, rain is no louder than on other types of roofs, and the risk of lightening striking your home is no higher than any other home in your area.There are many advantages of owning a metal roof. Metal roofs are lightweight enough to be installed over an existing roof. They are long lasting, low to no maintenance, rust proof, fire resistant, insect proof, and mildew proof. They stand up to strong wind and hail. Heavy snowfalls are less of a worry to the homeowner as well. As the roof heats up just a few degrees, the snow will slide right off. Because metal reflects the sun, you can see a decrease in your electric bill during those hot summer months. Metal roofs can be close to 80% recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice. There are various types of metals that are used for these roofs, such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper.  Stainless steel is expensive, but it is long-lasting, lightweight and resistant to corrosion, which is an advantage for the amount of precipitation Maryland gets. Copper is also expensive but it is an attractive pliable roofing material that can be conformed to the architectural curves on your home. Aluminum is the most economical of the roofing types, but has the shortest lifespan. Whichever type of metal roof you choose to install on your home, a professional Maryland contractor of LCM Associates will work with you to ensure that you get the metal roof of your choice.
