We know that selecting a new roofing system is not easy. There are many options available and, like most other building products, each roofing system has its own pros and cons. In order to help you as you begin your evaluation, we offer here some thoughts and comparisons that you might find helpful.
Though regarded as one of the most durable types of roofing, metal does have some weaknesses. Special tools and skills are required for cutting and installing metal, plus the edges of sheets are sharp and require extra precaution. Extra care also has to be taken not to install different types of metals in contact with one another (such as galvanized steel and steel coated with zinc), as incompatible materials can cause rapid corrosion.
