What's All The Buzz About Metal Roofing?


Metal roofing in is on the rise, which may come as no surprise. Metal roofs have a number of advantages that make them an appealing, durable, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance choice for homeowners throughout the Gainesville, FL region.


Let’s review some of metal roofing’s greatest features in more detail.

What Are the Advantages of Metal Roofing?

  • Incredible Longevity

    You can generally count on a metal roof lasting at least 40 years, with some properly maintained metal roofing systems lasting more than 100. While the upfront cost of a metal roof may seem high, the ability to defer roof replacements will save you money in the long run.

  • Extreme Durability In Any Weather

    Metal roofs come with a super-tough factory finish, making their durability exceptional and offering supreme resistance to weather-related damages and corrosion. A quality metal roof also comes with high wind and fire resistance, keeping your home – and your family – well-protected for decades to come. 

  • Great Energy Efficiency

    Metal roofs are great at holding cool air inside in the summer and warm air inside in the winter. They are able to reflect much of the solar radiation that an asphalt roof would absorb under direct sunlight. And various finishing choices can make a metal roof even more energy-efficient. In relatively warm areas, pre-painted or granular-coated metal roofs do an even better job of reflecting solar radiation and even remit much of what was absorbed.

  • Environmentally Responsible Roof

    Metal roofs are made with a minimum of 25% recycled materials and they’re 100% recyclable when they need to be replaced. They also absorb about a third less heat than asphalt shingles, reflecting the sun’s UV rays away and reducing the heat island effect for your home.

  • Striking Versatility & Looks

    Metal is malleable, which allows it to fit well on various types of roofs. Metal roofing can be applied to both steep-slope and low-slope roofs.


    Metal roofing is available in numerous colors, although some are available only by special order. Similarly, it comes in a number of profiles and textures.

  • Increased Property Value

    With all the above benefits over their asphalt shingle counterparts, it may come as no surprise that a metal roof is great for your home. It’s also fantastic for your property value: Buyers looking at different homes know that one with a new metal roof means low-maintenance, less leakage likelihood, and a roof that will last decades. Having a metal roof on your home can instantly boost your home’s selling price when it’s time to put it on the market.

What Types of Metal Roofs Are Common in Ormond Beach, FL?


There are a lot of types to choose from when it comes to your metal roof. Let’s examine the options Retex Roofing & Exteriors offers:


  • Copper roofing is perhaps the most expensive metal roofing choice. These roofs change color over time due to the metal's exposure to oxygen, taking on a blue-green color – the natural shade of the patina – on the copper's surface. Many find the color change in these roofs' appearances charming, overall enhancing the roof’s beauty and appeal.


  • Corrugated/Ribbed metal roofing. You'll see this type of roof on barns, sheds, and houses in the countryside. Plus, their lower-level paint system, thinner gauges, and simpler “place and screw” installation method make ribbed metal roofs a more-affordable metal roof option. 

  • Metal shingle roofing does a great job of counterfeiting the looks of other forms of roofing while supplying the durability, easy maintenance, and long lifespan of metal roofing systems. You can fabricate metal shingles to look like slate, tile, or shake roofing.


  • Standing seam metal roofs are made of panels that fit together tightly in a way that covers the screws and bolts. This makes them virtually leak-proof. These roofs also do a great job of reflecting UV rays, keeping your house cooler in hot weather and lowering your air conditioning bills.
