 Why Metal Roofing Is a

Smart Investment for

Northern Nevada Homes

Your roof is one of the most essential components of a sturdy, energy-efficient home. It protects against harsh weather, insulates your living space, and supports the structure of your house. That’s why choosing the right roofing material matters—and metal roofing is one of the most durable options available.


 What Is Metal Roofing?

Metal roofs are made from materials like aluminum, steel, copper, tin, and zinc.

They come in various styles, including corrugated panels, metal tiles, and slate-inspired designs.

Homeowners across Reno, Sparks, and Carson City are choosing metal

roofing for its strength, style, and long-term value.


 How Long Does a Metal Roof Last?

Metal roofs typically last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material.

Premium options like copper and zinc can last up to 100 years, making metal roofing a

smart investment for homeowners who want durability and peace of mind.


 What Affects

Metal Roof Longevity?

Even the toughest roofs need proper care. Here are key factors that impact how long your metal roof will last:


 Regular Maintenance

While metal roofs are low-maintenance, annual inspections are essential. Keep gutters clear of debris and check for signs of wear to prevent long-term damage.


 Proper Installation

Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, cracks, and premature failure. Always hire experienced professionals—like our team at Crummett Roofing & Construction—to ensure your roof is installed correctly.


 Choosing the Right Panels

Northern Nevada’s climate demands roofing that can handle snow, heat, and wind. Selecting the right metal panel style for your region helps minimize weather-related damage and extends your roof’s lifespan.
