The Keys To A Quality Metal Roof

We’re very excited as we enter our most busy time of the year. We typically see more metal roofs being installed in August – October of each year than any other time. This probably has a lot to do with folks working to get projects done before winter. Perhaps you’re on the same journey.

Knowing that many of our readers may be choosing a metal roof to have installed yet this year, we want to share the Keys To A Quality Metal Roof. Right now, more than ever, we’re seeing real issues with folks buying sub-standard metal roofs. This leads to nothing but disappointment down the road. But the question is: how can a consumer gauge the quality of the products they are considering?

This question is at the forefront as we’re seeing low quality and perhaps even dangerously-produced products being “dumped” into the United States from China and other countries. While tariffs on foreign-produced metals have impacted U.S. manufacturers, fabricated products are coming into the United States tariff-free and at very low prices, presumably to make up for the decline in metal coil being shipped into the U.S. This is a concern when we see consumers have these products installed on their homes that have very suspect warranties and usually no United States product testing or code listings and approvals.

The stakes, of course, are incredibly high. When you choose a metal roof for your home, you’re making a significant financial investment and also an investment that you expect to protect and beautify your home for the long term while saving energy and adding value. Sadly, the internet is full of horror stories of homeowners who have purchased metal roofs and did not get what they were expecting. We do not want that to happen to you! To help you avoid falling victim or wandering off-course, we have prepared a list of key considerations when buying a metal roof.

We hope that the Keys to a Quality Metal Roof help guide you in your product selection. And when it’s time to talk with a contractor, here’s a handy list of 44 Questions to help guide you.
