With Roofs Made of Steel, Hawaii Homes Get the Best Value and Protection

By choosing roofs made of steel, Hawaii homeowners get added value and protection for decades. Hawaii’s climate is harsh for materials that are exposed to the elements 24 hours a day. Compared to asphalt roofing or tile, steel roofing is much more durable and able to withstand torrential rain, gale-force winds, and wind-borne debris. There are many factors besides initial cost that factor into the overall value of your roofing material choice. Here are some reasons to consider steel roofing:

• Overall Savings – Although steel roofing costs more than other materials to purchase and install, the savings begin racking up from that day on, and ultimately, your steel roof will cost less in the long run. First of all, there is a federal tax credit, which has been extended through 2016 for energy star-certified roofing materials, including specific metal roofs. A metal roof provides significantly more insulation against the sun’s heat, so your home’s cooling system can maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature while using less power. Many homeowners’ insurance companies also offer discounts for homes with metal roofs, because they are less likely to be damaged by fire and storm damage.

• Protection From The Elements – Your home’s steel roof can withstand wind speeds of up to 140 miles an hour, depending on which material you select. Metal roofs are fireproof and won’t spark, even if lightning hits it. Steel roofing material provides the best protection against hail and flying debris that can cause impact damage, too.
• Long Life Span – Depending on the specific type of steel roofing material you choose, it will last 20 to 30 years on your home’s roof. That’s two to three times as long as an asphalt roof. Not only will you avoid the hassle of having your home re-roofed for that extra time, but also metal roofs require far less maintenance, and there will be fewer interim repairs to deal with because of steel’s durability.
