Benefits of Installing a Metal Roof
Metal roofing is an ideal choice for Pennsylvania homes that face diverse seasonal weather, from heavy snow to intense summer heat.
Key benefits of metal roofing include:
- Longevity: One of the longest-lasting materials on the market.
- Energy Savings: Reflective coatings reduce heat absorption, helping to lower your cooling bills.
- Weather Resistance: Performs well in high winds, rain, snow, and even hail.
- Low Maintenance: Doesn’t crack, curl, or rot like other roofing options.
- Sustainable Materials: Often made from recycled content and 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan.
- Wide Style Options: Available in a range of colors and profiles to match traditional, contemporary, or rustic aesthetics.
Our team uses specialized equipment, like the Equipter RB4000, to reduce debris and protect your landscaping during installation.
Different Types of Metal Roofs: Standing Seam vs. Corrugated
Metal roofs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Two of the most popular styles, standing seam and corrugated, each bring their own perks depending on what you’re looking for and how much you want to spend.
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Standing seam systems feature concealed fasteners and interlocking vertical panels, offering homeowners a sleek, modern look.
Pros
- Superior Leak Protection: Hidden fasteners mean fewer potential leak points.
- Clean Appearance: Smooth, uniform finish with high exterior charm.
- Expansion & Contraction Friendly: Designed to allow movement with temperature changes.
- Ideal for Solar Panels: Easy to mount solar panels without penetrating the roofing membrane.
Cons
- Higher Upfront Cost: Standing seam roofs are an investment, partly due to the labor involved.
- Skilled Installation Needed: They require precision, so you’ll want someone who knows what they’re doing.
Corrugated Metal Roofs
These panels give your home or building a more down-to-earth look. The exposed fasteners and familiar wave pattern make it a cost-effective, no-fuss choice.
Pros
- Budget-Friendly: A great choice if you’re looking to save compared to standing seam styles.
- Fast Setup: The straightforward design means your new roof can be up in no time.
- Durability: Still offers strong protection against the elements.
- Industrial or Farmhouse Style: Works well with specific architectural aesthetics.
Cons
- Exposed Fasteners: Can be more prone to leaks or maintenance issues over time.
- Less Streamlined Appearance: More functional than decorative for some homeowners.
At Bachman’s, we help you choose the right system based on your design goals, budget, and functional needs. No matter your choice, you can expect professional service backed by our team’s decades of experience and commitment to fantastic customer care.
