About a year ago, I could tell that our home project was a little delayed. Our team of contractors had been struggling to work with some of their providers, so I decided to work with another team altogether. It was really frustrating, but I could tell that it was the right call to make. After we made the transition, the new staff got right to work addressing some of the most serious concerns. I wanted to create a blog all about understanding construction delays so that other people could see how difficult it can be to resolve them on your own. Check it out!

Four Things You Should Know About Metal Roofing
Gina Hawkins
Metal roofing can be commonly found on both business and residential properties. While this economical roofing option can be a commonly used, it is often necessary to learn more about these metal roofing so that you can decide whether this is a good material for your building and how to get the most from this option.
Are There Benefits To Opting For A Colored Metal Roof?
It is often assumed that a roof made of metal will always have a metallic color. In reality, there are many different color options that are available to those having metal roofs installed. For those that already have a metal roof, it can be possible to paint the roof to change its color. While this may seem like it will only be a cosmetic change, a colored roof can offer several important advantages. A light colored roof will reflect much of the sun's heat, and the layer of all-weather paint will provide additional protection against the corrosive effects of moisture exposure.
Will A Metal Roof Be Noisy?
There is another widespread belief that a metal roof will be a noisy option. This assumption is often based on the belief that any sounds from the outside will be able to easily pass through the metal. In particular, it is commonly assumed that these roofs will be very noisy during rainstorms. However, there will be a very thick layer of insulation backing behind the metal panels of the roof. This will act to suppress noise, and as a result, the metal roof will be comparably as quiet as traditional asphalt shingle roofs.
Are Metal Roofs Suitable For Homes That Experience Temperature Extremes?
Energy efficiency is another key concern that can often lead individuals to have misgivings about metal roofing. While it can be easy to assume that the heat from the metal will radiate inwards to the interior of the house, the insulated backing will prevent this from occurring. Also, you can enhance the energy efficiency of the roof by choosing heat resistant metals and light colored paints.
Will A Metal Roof Be More Vulnerable To Storm Damage?
For homes that are in areas that experience major and frequent severe weather. Choosing a roof that can withstand high winds, large hail and intense rain is essential. Luckily, metal roofing is excellent for withstanding these conditions. In addition to avoiding the threat of having shingles damaged or removed, a metal roof will typically be much easier to repair when it does suffer damage. This is a result of it being composed of large panels, which makes replacing damaged sections a fairly simple task.
