Metal roofing is becoming increasingly popular due to its durability and variety of styles, including standing seam, aluminum, and stone-coated steel. Notably, stone-coated steel is classified as Class 4 impact-resistant, which can potentially save homeowners between 25% and 45% on their insurance premiums.

In the past, metal roofing faced criticism for concerns such as noise during rain, rust, and inadequate insulation. However, recent advancements have led to affordable and durable solutions that address these issues effectively.
