Steel roofing provides many of the same benefits as all other metal roofing systems. It’s durable, eco- friendly, and cost-effective. However, it also has a zinc coating that increases its resilience and provides it with an extra layer of corrosion resistance.

TKPA Roofing provides a variety of metal roof types from copper, corrugated, aluminum to standing seam metal roofing.

What is Steel Roofing?

Steel roofing is manufactured in giant rolls. It is then coated with either zinc or a zinc-aluminum mixture to protect it from oxidation. It comes in a variety of thicknesses that can be used for different purposes to suit your individual needs.

Steel is energy efficient, recyclable (or perhaps already recycled by the time it gets to you), and lightweight. It’s easy to install, and this contributes to its affordability. It is also highly customizable, allowing you to make it look like many other roofing types.

Types of Steel Roof Coatings

There are two types of coatings on a steel roof. Galvanized steel is coated with a thin layer of zinc to make it more corrosion resistant. It can be coated with various thicknesses depending on how it will be used.

Galvalume is a trademarked product that contains an aluminum-zinc alloy mixture and is slightly more protective than galvanized steel. It holds up better over time and is a popular solution for preventing rust and corrosion.

Steel Roof Advantages

The advantages of using steel roofing are nearly endless. It’s much like other metal roofing systems in its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and low-maintenance properties. However, it does have some other unique advantages.

Fire Resistant

Steel roofing is more fire-resistant than other metal roofing types. It can prevent a fire from spreading and insulates your home from sparking. It has a Class A noncombustible rating, which is the highest rating possible, so you can rest assured your home is at its safest with a steel roof.

100% Recylable

Like other metal roofing systems, steel roofing is 100% recyclable. It won’t end up in a landfill, and it’s so lightweight that transportation and installation are much cheaper than other roofing types. You may also enjoy knowing that it can be installed over your existing roof, so you won’t pay to haul it away.

Cost Effective

Steel roofing is extremely cost-effective. It can save you money on your HVAC bills in both the summer and the winter by deflecting the sun and insulating heat. It regulates the temperature inside your home efficiently, so your systems don’t have to work as hard.

Cleans Easily

Steel resists the build-up of algae and other bacteria. A good rain storm can clean your steel roof for you, and in the winter, snow will slide off instead of adding extra weight and pressure to the frame of your home.

Longevity

The average lifespan of a steel roof is 50 years or more, so you’ll enjoy the long lasting effects of all these other benefits for as long as you own your home. What’s more, it will increase your curb appeal and resale value.

Steel Roof Maintenance

As with other types of metal roofing, steel needs very little maintenance. It’s important to keep it clean and make sure it doesn’t come in contact with low hanging branches or other types of metal. Overall, your steel roof should last a long time even without that much care and attention.

Steel Roof Cost

Many things contribute to the relatively low cost of a steel roof. Steel is one of the least expensive types of metal roofing. It’s lightweight and easy for a steel roofing company to transport. It requires less labor during steel roof installation, and it can be installed over your existing roof to save you money on tear away.

Myths About Steel Roofing

A common misconception is that steel roofing is noisy. In fact, when installed and insulated correctly by steel roofing contractors, steel roofing is no noisier during a storm than any other roofing type, whether it is metal or not.

Many people are concerned about their steel roof getting struck by lightning. The simple fact is that lightning reaches out for the highest point in the area, so a home with a steel roof is no more likely to get struck by lightning than any other home. Because of steel’s ability to dissipate electricity, you’re much safer in a house with a steel roof than you are with any other roofing material.

    Eric and his crew are very professional. After talking with Eric it was clear that he knew everything about roofs. It was fast scheduling and they did the new total roof install in just one day! I'm really pleased with the quality … More of shingles and the long lifespan of 50 years. It even comes with a transferable golden pledge warranty if I were to sell the house. I'm very happy with my new roof.

    Eric and his crew from TKPA Roofing were extremely knowledgable and professional. When we needed a new roof, Eric was very patient and professional with his inspection and educating us on what we needed and why. In addition, his crew was … More timely, efficient, and very fast. I would trust Eric and TKPA with anything involving my roof or windows and highly recommend their services. Thank you guys!

    Contacted Eric reference to getting a leak fixed. He advised me he would come out after lunch on October 3rd. I called him back around 5pm that evening and he stated he was busy but was still coming out within an hour. Two hours later I … More get a text telling me traffic is bad and he couldn't make it out that day. I attempted to text him the following day to see when he could come out and have gotten no response even though the text shows “read.” Did not even have the decency to respond.
    I understand this isn’t a big job and Im sure I took backseat to bigger and higher-paying jobs, but you have to take care of the smaller jobs too if you care anything about your reputation. Tells me all I need to know about this company. I ended up wasting a day and a half waiting around the house when I could be calling someone else that is willing to help. Thanks for nothing.

    The whole experience was very professional. Called them to come out and look at my roof because of a bad wind storm that we had. Came right out the next day and inspected our roof. He explained what needed to be done. I did an insurance … More claim. He was right here when the insurance inspector came. Mr Eric took care of all the paperwork within 5 day I had my check. They came out and repair my roof very professional work cleaned the yard and left no mess. I didn't have to do anything Mr.Eric took care of everything for us. Great job.
