Are Metal Roofs Durable?
When properly installed, metal roofs can withstand wind gusts up to 140 mph. Most metal roofs will not corrode in Creston, IA, as long as the right type is chosen for this area’s climate. Coatings and treatments are available to provide even more protection.
Depending on the thickness of the metal you choose, metal roofing can withstand hail of up to 2″ in diameter, as well as other impacts such as blown debris. The thickness is referred to as “gauge,” with the smaller numbers indicating thicker and stronger material. For example, 29 gauge is thinner than 26 gauge, of the two most common thicknesses available. 26 gauge is much more resistant to denting from hail than 29 gauge.
It is important to note that sometimes hail does still dent metal roofs. Cook Roofing Company suggests that you maintain insurance coverage on your new metal roof, even though carriers often suggest an exclusion to save money. Call us at 515-305-3253 to find out more about metal roofs today.
Are Metal Roofs More Expensive Than Shingle Roofs?
While a shingle roof may cost less upfront, the long-life and durability of a metal roof can save money in the long run. A standing seam metal roof, for example, can cost two to three times the amount of a traditional shingle roof, but can last anywhere from 40-60 years. If you plan on staying in your current home long enough a metal roof will likely benefit you, although when you do sell your home the addition of a metal roof should make your home value go up.

Is a Metal Roof Low Maintenance?
When choosing a new roof an important question you might ask yourself is “How much time will I have to put into maintaining it?” This is a great question, because no one wants a new roof that requires constant attention and upkeep. Once installed, metal roofs are extremely low maintenance, needing only basic cleaning of major debris they can collect to avoid moisture buildup. Once or twice a year it is beneficial to clear out leaves, branches, or anything a storm might have blown up there to ensure your metal roof dries out properly and no rust or corrosion is able to form.
Major maintenance should be done every 20-25 years in the form of resealing, repainting, and changing out worn-down parts such as gaskets. The specialist at [iss_page_name] have years of experience installing and repairing metal roofs, and will install it correctly the first time so that it remains easy maintenance for you.
