Why Homeowners in Florida Are Switching to Metal Roofs
In the past, metal roofing systems were nearly always commercial roofs – on top of old barns or similar structures, rusting away in the sun or rain. Metal roofs have come a long way since their inception. In fact, many metal roofs can even mimic other types of roofs, including shingles, wood, slate and tile.
Nowadays, you don’t need to worry about color options. Metal roofs are available in more colors than shingles, allowing you to find just the right complement for your home.
For these and many other reasons, more and more homeowners are installing metal roofs on their homes. BFARR Contracting, has the metal roof installation experts that you should trust to help you find the right solution for your home and your particular circumstances.
Metal Roof Benefits: Longevity, Energy Savings & Storm Protection
Metal roofing offers long-term value, impressive strength, and modern curb appeal—but only when installed correctly.
Before you decide on a metal roof, it’s critical to understand this: installation quality matters more than the material itself. Unlike asphalt shingles, which are more forgiving, metal roofing requires precise craftsmanship. Inexperienced or budget installers often rely on caulk as a waterproofing shortcut, which will fail over time and leave your home vulnerable to leaks.
As the saying goes:
“You can put on the most expensive materials, but if the installer is subpar, the roof will be a bad roof. You can install builder-grade materials with an expert installer and have a roof that outlasts all others.”
That’s why working with a trusted expert like BFARR Contracting is essential. Our experienced installers understand the details that make a metal roof truly watertight—and able to last 40+ years, as it should.
Why Homeowners Choose Metal Roofing:
- Strong & Durable: Metal roofs are built to last through high winds, storms, and everyday wear—often outlasting asphalt shingles by two to four times.
- Energy Efficient: Metal reflects sunlight and radiant heat better than shingles, keeping your home cooler and reducing your energy bills.
- Long-Term Curb Appeal: With dozens of sleek color options and clean lines, a metal roof adds modern style and lasting resale value to your home.
