Metals roofs can be laid over pre existing roofing material eliminating the need to tear out the old roofing prior to installation. They are resistant to insects, and if properly galvanized, metal roofing is also rust resistant. Metal roofs are also non combustible, and contrary to popular perception are not extra susceptible to lightning. If this doesn’t make you feel safer, use a lightning rod to lightning proof your house. Because of its smooth surface, water glides off easily making metal roofing water resistant too.
