Architects swear by it. Homeowners admire it. But does this high-end roofing material actually make sense for your home? Let’s break it down—no fluff, just facts.
1. What Is This “Architect-Approved” Roofing Material?
(Answer: Standing Seam Metal Roofing)
-
Sleek & Modern: Sharp, vertical lines that elevate curb appeal.
-
Ultra-Durable: Lasts 50+ years—outliving asphalt shingles 3x over.
-
Fire & Weather Resistant: Non-combustible and stands up to hurricanes, hail, and extreme heat.
But is it all hype? Let’s dig deeper.
2. Why Do Architects Favor Metal Roofs?
-
Design Flexibility: Works with modern, farmhouse, and even traditional styles.
-
Eco-Friendly: Often made from recycled materials and 100% recyclable.
-
Low Maintenance: No cracked shingles or frequent repairs.
The catch? It’s not for every budget or home.
3. The Hidden Costs (And When It’s Worth It)
-
Upfront Cost: 2–3x pricier than asphalt—but saves long-term on replacements.

Installation Complexity: Requires skilled pros (like Hart Roofing’s certified team).

Best For:
