Preserve History with Metal Roofing

Historic buildings require special care and metal roofing offers the perfect balance of preservation and innovation. One unforgettable project involved our team working closely with a group of preservationists to restore the roof of a historic courthouse. By replicating the original slate design with lightweight, durable metal panels, we were able to capture the spirit of the old version. This approach not only carried on the building’s character but also ensured its longevity for future generations.

Roofing for a Greener Tomorrow

Metal roofing isn’t just innovative and durable — it’s also one of the most eco-friendly elements you can incorporate in your project. By choosing Green Tree Metals, you’re not only investing in your building’s future but also contributing to a more mindful set of values for future generations. Here’s why:

100% Recyclable:

At the end of its long life, metal roofing can be fully recycled, reducing waste and conserving resources.

Energy Efficient:

Our materials and patented coatings help reduce heat absorption and lower energy consumption, making buildings more sustainable.

Reduced Carbon Footprint:

With a lifespan of 40–70 years, metal roofs minimize replacement cycles, cutting down on material use and waste.

Environmentally Conscious Materials:

Many of our products feature Galvalume® steel substrates, which include a minimum of 35% recycled content.

Metal Roofing Vs. Traditional Shingles

Material Quality

Shingle Roofing
Typically made from asphalt shingles, wood, or clay tiles., traditional roofing has more moving parts leading to a limited lifespan of about 15–30 years on average. They’re also prone to weather damage, including cracking, curling, or warping over time, and susceptible to mold and rot, especially in damp climates.

Metal Roofing
Made from high-quality materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc, metal roofs can last 40–70 years or more with proper care. Their superior resistance to weather-related wear and tear, including hail, wind, and UV rays as well as non-porous surfaces prevent mold, mildew, and rot.

Eco-Consciousness

Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are petroleum-based, contributing to fossil fuel dependency and significant waste. Replacing asphalt shingles generates millions of tons of landfill waste annually as there are limited recycling options for old materials.

Metal Roofing
Made from recyclable materials, often containing 25–95% recycled content, metal roofing is 100% recyclable at the end of its life, reducing landfill contributions. Additionally, metal roofing often features energy-efficient coatings that reflect solar heat, reducing cooling costs and energy consumption. The lightweight construction requirements also reduce transportation emissions compared to heavier traditional materials.

Maintenance

Shingle Roofing
Requiring frequent inspections and repairs due to shingle cracking, curling, or loss, traditional roofs are also vulnerable to algae and moss growth, which can damage the roof and detract from its appearance. There is also a higher likelihood of leaks due to compromised materials.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofs require only occasional cleaning and inspections as they are resistant to algae, moss, and pests due to the smooth, non-porous surface. Their superior durability and interlocking panels and secure fasteners enhance leak prevention and reduce the need for frequent repairs, saving time and money.

Aesthetic Versatility

Shingle Roofing
Limited design options, especially with asphalt shingles, contribute to the epidemic of uniform homes versus individuality. Colors may also fade quickly, requiring reinstallation for aesthetic purposes.

Metal Roofing
The wide range of styles, finishes, and colors, can mimic wood, slate, or clay tiles while offering a sleek, contemporary look. They also retain color and appearance for decades, enhancing property value by combining functionality with striking designs.
