How Metal Roofs Increase the Value of Your Home

 

If you’re considering updating the look of your home, and getting a new roof is in your budget, one option that you might be considering is a metal roof. It often has a higher up front cost, but the long term benefits and value that it can add to your home can be significant. If you are considering having Farina Roofing  install a metal roof for you, here are a few reasons why it may be a great idea.

Metal Roofs Last Longer

When it comes to longevity and durability, there is simply nothing that compares to a metal roof on the market today. Where a shingle roof will last under the best conditions about twenty-five years, a metal roof will last nearly twice that. Think about it. If you install a metal roof today, there is a very good chance that you won’t even have to repair it until your children bring home their grandchildren to play.

In addition to lasting longer, metal roofs are often much easier to maintain. Unlike shingle roofs, which require regular inspection and routine repairs to keep things in good shape, a metal roof is usually kept in good condition by cleaning out the gutters and removing roof debris. That’s it. Usually a good spraying with a garden hose and the use of gutter guards and then allowing the roof to dry in the afternoon sun is all you need to do.

Metal Roofs Can Lower Your Energy Costs and Environmental Impact

Metal roofs, when properly installed can significantly decrease your overall energy costs. They can provide excellent insulation during the winter, and the reflective surface can help keep the heat from the summer sun at bay. In fact, most homeowners and businesses report a nearly 40% reduction in overall energy costs with the installation of a metal roof. Even if you chose to simply install a metal roof and not paint it, the reflective surface will allow for a significant savings over the life of the roof.
Metal roofs are also a great choice for the environment as a whole when compared to other roofing options. Where shingles and tar based roofing materials must be disposed of carefully and cause landfills to be filled to capacity quickly, metal roofs, and excess material can be easily recycled. This metal recycling can lead to less mining for new material, less pollution, and yes, even a reduction in overall production costs, both financially and environmentally. In short, metal roofs are better for both your budget, and your backyard.

An Increase to the Value of Your Home

While we can’t guarantee that your home will automatically increase in value (there are other factors at play), the installation of a metal roof certainly would increase the chances of it. On average, most homeowners or business owners see an increase in the overall value of their home or building of between one and six percent after the installation of a metal roof. This is based on the proven advantages discussed above. It also may very well make your home more attractive to potential buyers, which is important during those times when the real estate market is competitive.

Roofing Reviews

I highly recommend RB Farina for their exceptional service and craftsmanship. Their team was professional, timely, friendly and left my roof looking better than ever. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Annie Grealish

I needed a copper roof rip/replace in the South End of Boston. After reaching out to a few small one man shows that couldn’t pull a permit I found RB Farina. Not only did they beat the other 2 prices they came up with an all-encompassing quote and explanation of their process. Alex was the guy in charge and he was responsive, professional and likable. I am a construction business owner and I know a pro when I deal with one!! These guys are the real deal

Richard LaPorte

We were very satisfied with the work done by Farina. Our roof is complicated as we have an 18th century Georgian saltbox with two major additions over the last centurey creating lots of angles. The work was done with care, the materials first-rate and the team was professional, curteous and competent. I would highly recommend.

Very happy with the roof replacement RB Farina performed on my house in Winchester. The Sales Manager Paulo answered all my questions, did not push me to sign and provided a very competitive quote. Alex who supervised the job was very approachable, easy to talk to and ensured the job was finished to a very high standard. Very happy customer and would recommend RB Farina!

Simeon Ramsey

What a fantastic professional roof and gutter job. They started Friday morning bright and early and my new roof was done by the end of the day Friday. This is a traditional Northeast two family home with a gable roof and two shed dormers. There were skylights as well. The attention to detail was exceptional including in process communication detailing rotten roof boards needing replacement (pictures provided). The gutters were done Saturday morning and finished by noon. The property was cleaned of debris, esp nails and you couldn’t tell they had been there! I would enthusiastically recommend RB Farina to anyone considering a new roof and or gutters!!
