How Long Do Metal Roofs Last?

How Long Do Metal Roofs Last?

Asphalt shingle roofs are an economical option in the short term, but they require frequent maintenance and need to be replaced every 15-20 years or so. While a metal roof is a more costly choice upfront, it can be expected to offer exceptional performance for 50 years or more, providing an outstanding return on your investment. And, by allowing Elite Roofing Services to apply a metal roof coating, you can ensure even better performance and fewer maintenance costs for your roof. We’re a full-service commercial roofing company serving the Winston-Salem, North Carolina, area, and we have more than two decades of experience providing long-lasting roofing solutions for all types of commercial structures. We offer cool roof coatings from the top manufacturers in the industry, including Karnak.

Benefits of a Metal Roof Coating

A cool roof coating is applied directly onto the existing roof and can come in many forms, including reflective paint, rubber polymers, spray-on foam, sheet coverings, and single-ply PVC membranes. They provide superior protection against water intrusion and can also reflect UV rays to lower your roof’s temperature, taking some of the work load off your building’s HVAC system. They also can extend your roof’s life by several years if:

  • They receive regular maintenance, including occasional cleaning with a power washer
  • They are re-applied in areas where cracks develop or rust begins to show through

“I wouldn't hesitate to recomend Elite Roofing to anyone. They have provided excellent service on every roof we have had them do. My roof is a magnet for falling trees and limbs and we have had to require their services in addition to the new roof we had put on 10 years ago. They have always lived up to the timeline for completing the job and lived up to my expectations. Keep up the great work!”

“Elite Roofing is the only roofing firm we use. Their staff is prompt, responsive, cleans up after every job, passes all inspections, secures the permits... everything you need for your roof replacement. We use no one else. Don't shop on price alone, shop on reputation and make your decision based upon the firm that shows up, obtains permits, and completes the job on time. Choose Elite!”

“This was our first time having our roof replaced. Elite Roofing made the whole process easy and smooth. Very communicative and professional. Crew showed up right on time and worked very efficiently. Our roof was completed in less than a day and a half. They left our property clean and spotless after the job was completed. Our roof looks great! Would highly recommend Elite Roofing!”
