You might want to choose a specialty roof for a distinct look or because of the performance spec you can benefit as a homeowner that lives in extreme climates.
Advantages of metal roofs
METAL ROOFS OFFER MANY BENEFITS, INCLUDING:
- Longevity: Metal roofs can last 40-70 years, depending on the material.
- Durability: Some metal roofs can sustain wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour. Depending on the gauge of the panels, they can be dent resistant. Most panels come with a coating to protect the metal from rust.
- Safety: Metal roofs will not spark and ignite into flames during a wildfire or lightning strike.
- Energy Efficiency: Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%.
- Environmentally Friendly: Metal panels are 100% recyclable at the end of their life as a roof. In contrast, most shingle tear-off waste ends up as part of the building-related waste stream — up to 20 billion pounds per year.
- Snow and Ice: are more likely to slide off the roof compared to an asphalt shingle roof.

Wood shake and wood shingles
A perk from 3H Roofing installing wood shake/shingles is that they are fire resistant. Wood shake roofs are surprisingly resilient against extreme weather conditions, and with the average shake being thicker than the usual metal or asphalt shingle roofing. Homeowners who prefer a rustic, handmade look still choose wood shakes. Homes with traditional or unique architectural styles, benefit from the added authenticity.
Synthetic shingles
Going Synthetic means more benefits like better impact resistance. Literally, you can pound a hammer to the shingle without harming it almost making it storm proof. You can have the shake look with out the risk of a fire hazard. Most synthetic shingles have a lifetime limited warranty making it more attractive just like the designs. Most 3H Roofing synthetic installs consist of DaVinci and F-Wave shingles, check out the wide selections of colors and styles.
Metal Shingles
A Metal Steel roof will not end up in a landfill site like asphalt, these 2 styles of metal shingle roofs are made for long life quality purposes lasting a lifetime. Metal shingles roofs can come apart that every single piece installed can be recycled or melted down to make another roof again. You can pick from 2 patterns and many finish even custom sizes for your preference.
