Metal Roofing In Phoenix, AZ

Metal Roofing Types

Metal roofing comes in three primary forms, metal shingles, metal sheets, and metal rolls. 

Phoenix’s intense sun and occasional desert storms demand a roofing material that can withstand extreme conditions. Metal roofing offers an excellent solution. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of metal roofing available at Four Peaks Roofing:

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

• This type of roofing features vertical seams that create a strong, watertight seal.  Known for its durability, energy efficiency, and clean aesthetic. It’s a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings.

Stone-Coated Metal Roofing

• This roofing combines the look of traditional roofing materials like shingles or tile with the durability of metal. Offers the aesthetic appeal of traditional roofing while providing the long-term benefits of metal. It’s a great option for homeowners who want a classic look with modern performance.

Corrugated Metal Roofing

• Characterized by its wave-like pattern, corrugated metal roofing is known for its strength and affordability.  Often used in agricultural, industrial, and commercial buildings, but can also be a stylish choice for residential homes.

Metal Shingle Roofing

• Designed to mimic the appearance of traditional asphalt shingles, metal shingles offer a durable and low-maintenance alternative. Combines the aesthetic appeal of shingles with the long-term benefits of metal roofing.

Aluminum Roofing

• Aluminum is lightweight but highly durable. It requires little to no maintenance as it is anti-corrosive and doesn’t rust. It weighs roughly five pounds per square foot and can last thirty years. 

Galvanized Steel Roofing

• This is the most common association with metal roofing projects. It’s an iron-based alloy mix that is popular for cost, ease of use, and simple maintenance. It’s remarkably durable and lasts as many as sixty years in many cases.

Copper Roofing

• Copper roofing is an exterior statement piece and curb appeal booster that will potentially last longer than most other roofing materials of any kind. It offers a rich and luxurious copper color that evolves naturally over time and develops a brown or blue-green patina. 

Zinc Roofing

• Zinc roofing is another curb appeal boosting roof aesthetic. Similar to copper, zinc starts off with one color but will naturally change over time. In most cases, the roofing panels come patina-ready and can last up to a century, but this would be one of the most expensive roofing materials. 

Why Homeowners Choose Metal Roofing In Phoenix

It’s not just for the soothing sound of rain on a metal roof; there are many appealing benefits to installing a metal roof. 

Long Lifespan

The average lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof is approximately fifteen to thirty years.[1] Compare that to metal roofing lasting anywhere from forty years to as many as one hundred. 

Cost-Effective

It’s initially more expensive to install metal roofing than asphalt shingles. However, because it’s expected to last nearly twice as long, the investment is a sound one. 

Wind and Sandstorm Resistant

Unlike shingles, metal roofing can withstand the strong winds of our challenging Phoenix sandstorms.  

Reflects Solar Heat

We’re very familiar with our area’s sun, which can get toasty. A roof that reflects the sun’s heat instead of absorbing it will result in a cool attic space and lower energy bills. This is true of all metal roofs; however, aluminum roofing reflects the best. 

Easy To Install And Maintain

Due to the lightweight material and simple installation process, metal roofing can be installed in a few days. Cleaning and maintenance are simple, with a pressure washer to keep it shiny and clean.
