Stop replacing your roof:
Install a roof that will last

This photo shows the devastation to an Oakland, California neighborhood after a 1991 firestorm hit. Neighbors unsuccessfully tried to save their homes with asphalt roofing by watering their roofs; unfortunately the fire ignited them anyway. The only home that survived the destruction was this home with metal roofing, since the burning embers could not ignite the steel.

Metal Roof Misconceptions

1. Will it look like a barn metal roof?
   No! We have a variety of styles available – from regular shingles like an asphalt roof, to new avant-garde options.
2. Will there be a loud metal sound when it rains?
   No, our metal roofs are actually quieter than asphalt when it rains.

Here we are again. A big hail storm flew through the neighborhood, and now your roof has dents all over. Or the sun, wind, and weather, day after day, has been wearing down your roof until it is discolored and falling apart. You replace it with a standard asphalt roof, and the cycle begins again – another 12 years, another roof.

Now is your chance to break the cycle and install an elegant metal roof that will last 50 years or more. A few of the benefits of metal roofing:

Long-lasting Durability
Metal roofs are guaranteed to increase the life of your roof to at least 50 years. Since our roofs are built with one of the strongest materials in the industry, 24-guage steel, you can be sure they will withstand almost anything Mother Nature throws at them: from strong winds, to 2.5” hailstones, to fire.

Our roofs are finished with a high-quality powder-coating method – more durable and weather-resistant than the standard stone coating. All of these features add up to a very durable roof that is guaranteed to last 50 years or more.

Great Warranty
Siding-1 metal roofing has one of the most extensive warranties in the industry. When you choose our metal roof, you can rest easy during almost any weather:

• Protection against hail – You are protected from hailstones up to 2.5", about the size of a baseball.
• Protection against fire – Metal roofs have saved several homes during
  firestorms, since they do not ignite. On the other hand, asphalt roofs are
  made of oil, and can easily ignite from embers.
• Protection against strong Chicago winds – Siding-1’s metal roofs can
  withstand wind speed up to 277 mph. For reference, the fastest wind ever
  recorded in the United States was at Mt. Washington, NH, at 231 mph in 1934.

Lower Energy Bills
A metal roof can increase a home’s value and save on energy bills and insurance:

• Energy Bills can be reduced by up to 20% - Metal roofs have higher insulation than asphalt roofs, so less heat escapes during the winter. Metal roofs also keep the attic cooler during the summer by reducing the amount of heat entering your attic from outside.
• Insurance premiums can be reduced by up to 30% - Metal roofs are much more resistant to the weather, and since wind and hail damage is the #1 insurance claim, your insurer can decrease your premiums by up to 30% when you install a metal roof.
• Your home value will increase – When you choose a metal roof for your home, up to 80% of the cost of the roof is immediately returned in increased home value. Combined with the lower energy bills and lower insurance premiums, metal roofs are a smart investment.

Environment-Friendly
When you choose a metal roof, you also make a choice that is good for the environment. Metal roofs are built with 50%-80% recycled materials, and require less energy to manufacture than asphalt roofs, which are made of oil.

The longer durability of the metal roof also means it will not be replaced as often. Each metal roof installation will outlast two to four asphalt roof installations. With a new metal roof, saving money also means helping the environment.

How much more expensive is it compared to Asphalt?
Let’s say a normal car costs $25,000, sound about right? And let’s say that car looks good (but not great), gets average gas mileage, is prone to normal wear and tear, and will last about 100,000 miles before it begins to need serious repairs. Now let’s say I have a different car that you can buy. This one is more expensive--$50,000. But what if the second car looked absolutely STUNNING. And instead of getting 20 miles per gallon, it got 35. What if this car never got dents, never started looking old, never lost any resale value, and never needed any kind of repair or maintenance for 50 years or more. Would you at least be interested?
