1. Durability and Longevity Metal roofing is known for its exceptional durability. With a lifespan of 50 years or more, metal roofs outperform traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles, which typically last only 15-20 years. Metal roofs can withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, hail, and strong winds. This resilience significantly reduces the need for repairs and replacements, leading to long-term cost savings.
