Our dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail ensures that every Drexel Metal roofing system is built to last, providing superior protection for your home and peace of mind for our customers.
While traditional options such as asphalt shingles and wood shingles may seem like a viable option, they simply cannot match the durability and longevity of a metal roof. As soon as they are installed, asphalt roofs begin to deteriorate, wood shingles dry out and crack over time, and concrete roof tile can fracture from freeze/thaw cycles. A metal roof, on the other hand, provides superior strength and is virtually maintenance-free; making it the premier choice for protecting your home against the elements and ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
When designing an energy-efficient building, one of the most important metrics to consider is R-value— the measure of a material’s resistance to heat flow. R-value is determined through standardized testing methods which help architects, designers and builders compare the effectiveness of various insulating options. Essentially, the higher the R-value of a material, the greater its insulating power.
According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America, both residential and commercial projects have seen increases in the costs of construction in 2024. But that’s not to say that rising construction costs are putting a damper on construction activity. In fact, construction activity is picking up speed! Forecasters are seeing a slow but steady upswing in planning activity as many owners and developers prepare for stronger market conditions in 2025. If you couple these market insights with the construction industry’s ongoing labor shortage, it’s clear that prioritizing cost and labor efficiencies on jobs has never been more important.
Delivering an energy-efficient, high-performance structure requires a comprehensive approach to building design. This, of course, includes careful consideration of the building products and systems used on a project. But here’s the thing; this careful consideration extends beyond what you see when you look at a building (picture those striking metal roof and wall panels) and must also include the insulation underneath.
