If you've been considering upgrading your home and increasing its resale value, you should know that beautiful and enduring metal roofing is highly valued as one of the top renovation-friendly building materials known to man.

As reported by Sal Alfano of Remodeling Magazine, homes renovated with standing-seam metal roofing show a rate of 85.9% cost recouped in the national average with up to 95.5% for homes in the Eastern states. Think about that for a second. Really?think about it. That means that if you spend $20,000 on a new roof, your home will instantly be worth about $17,000 more... for a net cost of only $3,000.

Not only does this rate of return far exceed asphalt roofing, it is one of the most valuable remodeling projects you could ever do, adding far more value to your home than even a master suite addition.
