It will outlast a traditional roof by decades. Also metal roofs are great at insulation, and some owners claim that they have reduced the costs with energy bills by 20%. Metal roofs are not affected by mold or mildew, or by other common problems. Metal roofs do not have any cleaning requirements. All you need to do is paint them once in a few years.
