These days, you can get metal shingles that resemble the look of architectural mainstays like asphalt shingles, cedar shakes and tiles – all with metal’s signature longevity and toughness. And, as far as metal roofing is concerned, TAMKO® stands above the rest. Durability and Looks Rolled Into One Metal roofs often have a reputation for being too utilitarian, philistine and boring. This was a holdover from their early days as a purely industrial building component. Today, however, advances in manufacturing technology have made it possible to get stone-coated metal shingles with TAMKO’s MetalWorks® series. This technology gives the discerning homeowner a wide variety of textures, colors and styles that would have been possible only with other roofing materials a few decades ago. Appeal is not the only thing going for it, of course. A metal roof is, first and foremost, a choice when you need uncompromising durability. Many homeowners enjoy the benefits of paying for reduced insurance premiums when they use a metal roof replacement to shelter their property. Greener Roofs The AstonWood® line (part of the MetalWorks series) features 28-gauge steel roofs, which are certified by ENERGY STAR® and the Cool Roofing Council. Such products are reviewed and found to reduce a property’s heating and cooling costs. Every Astonwood shake, shingle or slate is 100% sustainable and can be easily recycled. This can help you qualify for tax rebates depending on state regulations. [company_name] is the area’s trusted roof repair and replacement contractor.
