Cool Metal Roofs

“Energy Saving Roofs for a sustainable future.”

More and more, homeowners are seeking out energy-saving building materials for their renovations and new homes, products that not only secure and improve structures but also provide long-term cost-cutting on energy bills while promoting environmental and economic sustainability in the greater community.

Among the array of possible upgrades, “cool metal roofs” easily answers this consumer demand offering a solid, attractive roofing solution available in multiple colors, textures, and profiles, for steep-slope and low-slope applications, that can save your household up to 40% of its annual energy costs, depending on your geographical region.


While asphalt traps heat…	Metal Roofs reflect solar energy…	And pigments re-emit heat.

The secret to metal roofing’s energy savings is in its variety of finishes. As shown above, the basic, unpainted metal roof will reflect much of the solar radiation usually absorbed in your attic and home by an asphalt roof. Where annual cooling loads dominate, a highly reflective and highly emissive metal roof is optimal for reducing energy consumption and can actually re-emit up to 90% of absorbed solar radiation.

Most metal roofing, including standing seam, is composed of recycled material that can be installed directly onto an existing asphalt roof, reducing landfill waste as well as adding decades of environmentally-sound, maintenance-free strength and beauty.

Curious about the best energy-saving metal roofing for your home?

Solution. Call David and get your roof done right!

Q: Why did you choose to start a metal roofing business?

A: “I believe in offering solutions towards making the world a more sustainable place to live. I based my business on the need for a long-term solution, rather than a commodity homeowner’s would have to replace every 10 years. Most people think of metal roofs on old farmhouses, this is not the case anymore. In the last several years the desire for metal roofs has become more popular because they make sense. It makes me proud of what I do! Just look around your neighborhood and think how clean and beautiful it would be if every home had a metal roof! No more asphalt shingles. Petroleum shingles are listed among the leading causes for ground water contamination by the EPA, this said I believe its time we do something about that. ”
