The Benefits of Metal Roofing in the Hudson Valley

The Hudson Valley, with its picturesque landscapes and historic charm, is an ideal place to call home. However, its diverse climate of hot summers and frigid winters with substantial snowfall requires homeowners to be particularly mindful of their roofing choices. Metal roofing, encompassing options like Standing Seam Metal, Copper, and Galvalume, presents a superior solution for Hudson Valley homes. Continue reading to discover the benefits of metal roofing, demonstrating why it is an excellent investment for both new constructions and roof replacements.

Durability and Longevity

One of the most compelling reasons to choose metal roofing is its unmatched durability. Unlike traditional asphalt shingles that typically last 30-50 years, metal roofs can endure for 100+ years with proper care. Generally speaking, this longevity translates to fewer replacements over the life of your home, providing significant cost savings and peace of mind.

Superior Weather Protection

The Hudson Valley’s climate demands a roofing material that can withstand extreme weather conditions. Metal roofing excels in this area, offering exceptional protection against both hot and cold weather. During the summer, metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%. In winter, their robust construction can handle heavy snow loads and resist ice damming.

Aesthetic Appeal and Customization Friendly

Metal roofing is not only functional, but also aesthetically versatile. Available in a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes, metal roofs can complement any architectural design. Whether you prefer the sleek look of standing seam panels, the timeless elegance of copper, or the modern appeal of galvalume, there is a metal roofing option to suit your taste. This versatility makes metal roofing a popular choice for both contemporary and traditional homes in the Hudson Valley.

Fire Resistance

Metal roofs are non-combustible, providing a Class A fire rating – the highest possible rating for fire resistance. This is particularly important in areas prone to wildfires or where homes are closely spaced, offering an extra layer of protection and potentially lowering insurance premiums. 

Environmental Sustainability

For environmentally-conscious homeowners, metal roofing is an excellent choice. Most metal roofs are made from recycled materials, and at the end of their useful life, they are 100% recyclable, eliminating landfill waste. Moreover, many metal roofs are compatible with solar panel installations, allowing homeowners to harness renewable energy more effectively.

Low Maintenance

Unlike other roofing materials that may need regular repairs and upkeep, metal roofs are highly resistant to issues like cracking, shrinking, and erosion. A simple periodic inspection and occasional cleaning are typically all that’s needed to keep a metal roof in top condition.

Increased Home Value

Investing in a metal roof can also enhance your home’s market value. Prospective buyers often view metal roofing as a premium feature due to its durability, longevity, and energy efficiency benefits. As a result, homes with metal roofs can command higher resale prices, providing a return on investment that goes beyond the immediate benefits of energy savings and durability.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Patricia P.

We are so thankful that we chose Sheeley Roofing to replace our shingles and gutters. So professional from start to finish. Phil Fragale was very helpful in explaining beforehand the steps needed to complete our project. As our project progressed there was always someone ( Kelli and Steve) there answering any or our questions. Everyone at Sheeley’s made sure that we were happy with the way the project was going and that we knew what would happen next. We highly recommend Sheeley Roofing!!

David D.

I was thoroughly pleased with the cedar shake roof installed by Sheeley Roofing on my 300-year old house. Their attention to detail, professional crew, and site cleanup at the end of each day was exemplary.

John S.

Everything from the initial call with Steve to the job and cleanup with Garrett and his crew was great. They met my needs for my roof, replaced our chimney flashing (which was the culprit), took out our skylights (so those won’t be our next issue) and took extra time and care at the end of the day to ensure all the nails and other debris were cleaned up. As a local mold inspector I’ll be recommending them to all of my clients in need of roof repairs/replacement going forward. Thank you for doing such a great job Steve and Garrett.

Taylor R.

It wasn’t the cheapest bid we got, but we are really glad that we went with Sheeley. They were great to work with and the job was extremely professional and tight. They respected our property and really listened to what was important to us and what we wanted to have happen. We felt totally taken care of.

Ian M.

Our experience with Sheeley Roofing Company was outstanding. We were dealing with a leaky roof after summer rains, they were quick to respond, providing a new roof and gutters. We’re impressed with the speed and quality of their work. We recommend Sheeley Roofing Company for their excellent service.

Jeff D.

We had a pretty large roof that was starting to leak and used Sheeley to replace it. They were terrific! On schedule, working long days and doing a beautiful job. The crew was happy and worked very well together. I would recommend them without hesitation.

David B.

I really enjoyed the whole experience working with Sheeley Roofing on our cedar shake roof project. They made all of our options and contingencies clear beforehand, started the project when promised and finished it on time and on budget. The team installing the roof were kind, respectful, professional, clean and extremely hard working. I This is our second project with Pat and the team at Sheeley. They are excellent.

Raymond S.

Sheeley Roofing was a pleasure to work with. They were understanding of our situation as we needed a new roof before our 2nd child arrived. Steve was our point person and he was highly communicative, caring, and efficient. Materials took about 4 weeks to arrive and old roof was removed with new roof installed in 1 day! Could not ask for better service and would highly recommend.
