The Demand for Metal Roofing Continues to Rise

By Marco Industries.

Contractors are celebrating as data indicates the increasing popularity of metal roofing.

The demand for metal roofing for new home construction has doubled according to data collected by Dodge Data and Analytics and commissioned by the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA). This is good news for residential roofers as metal roofing continues to enjoy an ongoing rise within the repair/remodel segment of the market.

Metal roofing is the second most popular type of residential roofing in the U.S. the report states. The Mid-Atlantic region saw the greatest increased use of metal roofing. This is not surprising considering how common severe storms and hurricanes are in the area. The metal roofing industry has done a good job of promoting the material as the ideal choice for long-lasting performance in climate extremes.

Style, design and the desire among consumers for more environmentally friendly choices were all listed as factors for the continued surge in popularity for metal roofs. The research indicates that today's homeowners also understand the benefits of high-tech metal roofing coatings to boost energy efficiency and deliver low maintenance benefits.
