Metal Roofs: Strong Against a Storm

While no roof can claim to be hurricane resistant, metal roofs are becoming an increasingly popular choice for areas like Southport, NC because of their proven ability to better withstand hurricanes. Metal roofing is generally considered the best option for hurricane-prone regions. 

Hurricane resistance is not the only reason homeowners and businesses choose metal roofing. Metal roofs are also fire resistant and extremely durable, typically lasting between 40 and 70 years. They are environmentally friendly because they cut down on energy costs and are usually made of recycled materials. Plus, they deter pests whereas shingles can sometimes attract pests. 

Who Installs Your Metal Roof Matters

Expert, meticulous roof installation is a major factor in the lifespan of any roof, but the stakes get higher with metal roofs. Metal roofing typically comes with a higher price tag than shingles and other roofing options. If you’re going to invest in a metal roof, then hiring a roofing company you trust becomes extremely important.

Metal roofs can withstand winds of up to 140+ miles per hour (mph), but only if they are properly installed. At Willis Roofing, we are experienced and skilled in the latest metal roofing technology.
