Residential Metal Roofing In Wichita, KS

Metal roofing has many benefits, and there has been a surge in the number of home and business owners who prefer a metal roof over a tiled or shingled one. Clark’s can help you decide what options you have for metal roofing in Wichita.

Metal roofing can be made of steel, aluminum, copper, zinc or titanium. These materials vary greatly in cost because of the methods used to make them and their availability, so the cost of metal roofing installation can’t be pinpointed until you decide exactly which metal is the right one for you.

We think about metal being think, strong and heavy, but for metal roof installation purposes, only ‘strong’ is an accurate descriptor. These metals are pounded into sheets that are less than half an inch thick, making them a lighter option than most shingles. Metal is also known to rust, which is why metal roofing products are coated with a special material that resists rust.

As you can see, there are many misconceptions about metal roofing. Licensed roofing contractors like the ones at Clark’s Roofing and Construction can help you clear up any more false impressions you may have about residential or commercial metal roofing.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of metal roofs. As an example, we’ll use steel:

• It lasts. A metal roof can have a lifespan of 50 or more years. That can far outlive the time you actually spend in the house, making its resale value higher, too. Everyone wants more for their money these days. That’s why metal roofing in Wichita is a great value.

• It’s eco-friendly. Because these roofs last such a long time, they will not need to be replaced as often as shingled roofs. Discarded roofing materials that can’t be recycled won’t take up space in landfills. Steel roofing is also made from recycled materials.

• It saves energy. Steel roofs can extend the life of your heating and cooling equipment. Not having to replace these units every 10 years or so can make your metal roof an invaluable investment in the long run. These roofs reduce attic temperatures by reflecting sunlight.

• It’s fire resistant. No one wants to think about losing their home or business in a fire, but it’s a possibility we must all be prepared for. A steel roof is a great preventative measure. Steel will not burn, so your home is safe from catching on fire due to burning debris from a campfire or forest fire landing on your roof.
  
  

The most common type of metal roofing you will see is standing seam, where panels are laid vertically across the roof. They have a raised seam where one panel joins the next. These roofs are not only functional and durable, but they look great on many different types of homes and businesses, including brick, siding or rock.

Colors vary widely, too, so you’re sure to find a metal roofing option that matches your home or other building perfectly. Standing seam metal roofing pricing runs about $1000 installed, more or less depending on where you live.​
