Why Atlanta Homeowners Choose Metal
Atlanta has plenty of older homes under mature trees, and long, hot summers and strong storms are hard on an aging shingle roof. That’s often when homeowners start looking at metal. A metal roof holds up in tough conditions with minimal upkeep, and if something does go wrong, it can frequently be repaired rather than replaced.
Residential metal roofs come in a wide range of designs, colors, and materials. A metal roof can blend in with the houses around it or make a clean architectural statement. Whether you choose a modern standing seam look or a stone-coated metal that resembles cedar shake, your roof will keep its good looks longer than some other materials.
Types of Atlanta Metal Roofs
Standing Seam Metal
Standing seam metal roofs are used on many kinds of homes and buildings. The panels connect with interlocking seams, which gives the roof its distinctive clean lines and leaves no exposed screw heads.
Standing seam is one of the simplest metal roofs to maintain. It’s watertight and adaptable enough for both older homes and contemporary designs, which makes it a good match for Atlanta’s mix of houses. Learn more about panels, colors, and details on our standing seam metal roof page.
Stone Coated Steel
Stone coating allows a wide range of colors and textures that can mimic traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles, clay tile, and wood shake. That means stone-coated steel can complement many different home styles while giving you the strength of a metal roof.
If you want your new roof to look like shingles, tile, or shake from the street, stone-coated steel is worth a look. See styles and options on our stone-coated metal roofs page, or ask about it during your free estimate.
Not sure which to choose? Standing seam suits clean, vertical lines and needs very little maintenance. Stone-coated steel keeps a traditional shingle, tile, or shake look from the street. We’ll talk through both on your actual roof, with no pressure either way.
Metal Shingle
A metal shingle roof imitates the appearance of wood, tile, or asphalt shingles. That gives Atlanta homeowners a traditional roof’s look along with metal’s lasting durability. Metal shingles are lightweight, simple to install, and offered in many of the same colors as conventional asphalt shingles, so they’re a practical option for many homes.
Ribbed Panel/Corrugated Metal
Ribbed panel metal roofing looks similar to standing seam, but it’s typically a bit thinner and uses exposed screws. That’s one reason ribbed panel is common on cabins in North Georgia, though it also shows up on some attractive residential and commercial projects. Ribbed panel offers a more affordable metal option for your home or business.
Atlanta Metal Roofing Materials
Galvalume steel, copper, zinc, aluminum, and stainless steel are a few of the metals used to make a metal roof. Metal roofing also comes in a wide range of colors to suit any home design. Fowler Exteriors offers several options for your Atlanta metal roofing project, including:
Galvalume Steel
Galvalume steel is what most of our customers choose. Steel is strong and durable, but bare steel rusts fairly quickly, so Galvalume is coated on both sides with a mix of zinc and aluminum. Galvanized steel is made in a similar way, but it’s coated with zinc alone instead of that mix.
Galvalume can be ordered in a bare metal finish, which is a popular look on many of the Atlanta homes we work on, or in a range of painted colors. Browse our metal roofing color guide for ideas.
Copper Metal Roof
Copper roofing has a rich, three-dimensional look that helps your roof stand out. It’s a way to add real character and curb appeal to your home while keeping the main strengths of a metal roof.
Zinc Metal Roofing
Compared to other metal roofing materials, zinc is highly malleable, which makes it easy to shape around the details of a roof. It’s also a good choice if recyclable materials matter to you. If you’re curious whether zinc fits your Atlanta home and budget, ask us about it during your free estimate and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Aluminum Metal Roofing
Contractors like aluminum because it’s lightweight, easy to install, and highly resistant to corrosion. It’s another option to talk through if you want a lighter metal roof. During your estimate, we’ll explain how it compares with Galvalume and the other metals so you can decide which metal fits your home.
Benefits of an Atlanta Metal Roof
Durability
Metal roofs hold up well in tough environments. They resist corrosion and keep their good looks and strength even under difficult conditions. That matters in a city like Atlanta, with long, hot summers, strong storms, and plenty of tree cover over older neighborhoods.
Flexibility
Whether your Atlanta home is a classic older house or a newer build, a metal roof can fit its style, because metal comes in a wide variety of profiles and colors.
Sustainability
Metal roofing contains recycled material and is recyclable at the end of its long service life. Because metal roofs are resilient, they also tend to need fewer repairs and replacements than some other roofing types. For Atlanta homeowners who care about reducing waste, that combination makes metal an easy option to feel good about.
Longevity
A well-installed metal roof is built for a long service life with minimal upkeep. How long yours lasts depends on the material and maintenance, and we’ll explain what to expect.
