There are many metal roofing benefits here in Parkersburg WV as well as the Marietta OH area. Metal roofing has earned it is place in the construction field for numerous reasons. To start, metal roofing has advanced greatly since the early 90s when I started installing roofs. In the 90s most of the metal roofs were so expensive only commercial buildings could afford the high cost of sheet metal roofing. The one name that comes to mind is www.berridge.com and their systems ranged around 500 to 1000 per square (1000 square feet). Now we can install sheet metal roofs for what the material cost back then. Another great advantage is the weight.
I run into so many clients that assume that sheet metal roofing will add an a lot more to the roof trusses. This is not true, it is actually a small portion of the weight of asphalt shingles.
I also hear client’s concern about the noise, and no it is not the old tin roof noisy rain. This came about primarily in the 50’s when the old style tin double-lock roofing panels were installed over beams or 1 bys with no sheathing or insulation to reduce the noise. So no, you probably won’t be singing rain on a tin roof.

TSR – is the total solar reflectance of the sheet metal roofing. If you choose a darker color you get less tsr than the lighter colors. White is around 60% tsr and black is 25% tsr. There is a great difference in the colors performance, you should keep this in mind while choosing colors. The paint is an Akzo Nobel product that uses the most advanced Siliconized Polyester Modified (SPM) roofing paint system in the industry. This paint has deep and rich colors that really stand out. We have the tools to bend custom metal to just about anything you can wrap with metal.
