UPDATE!!
Stimulus Help for Energy Star Metal Roofs
Back in January we announced
the re-instatement of the $500 Tax Credit available to
homeowners who install an Energy Star® labeled metal roof in
2009. With the recent passing of the new Stimulus Package,
that tax credit has been raised to $1500, will be
retroactive to the start of 2009, and will continue through
December 31, 2010.
What do I need to know about the $1500 tax credit?
Here's how the credit will work. Some key points to note
are:
Only Energy Star labeled metal roofs qualify for the tax
credit. The metal roof must be installed between 1/1/2009
and 12/31/2010. Only the cost of metal roof materials will
qualify, NOT installation costs.
If you are wondering when is the best time to replace your
old roof, now is the time to act. We know by tracking
visitors to the
MRA
website that information on the tax benefits of
installing a metal roof ranks very high on the list of
most-visited sections of the site. Therefore, we know the
tax credit message is very compelling to consumers.
For more information on federal AND your state incentives,
visit the
DSIRE website.

Metal Roofs Cost Too Much! . . . Really?
Here's an excerpt from a recent letter we
received from one of our prospective customers:
"I've
heard metal roofs cost more. I was shocked to see how much more. I
wouldn't count me out yet since I still need to look at what I can
afford . . . and how much an asphalt type roof would cost. Maybe
making the step up to metal wouldn't be much extra."
The cost of metal is always an issue. The only way to understand the cost to value is the comparison.

This year |
$325.00/sq |
$525.00/sq |
| 14 years later |
$475.00/sq (inflation) |
nothing |
| 14 more years |
$595.00/sq |
nothing |
In 14 years you have
saved $275.00/sq. That is a return of 53% on the original $525
investment. The asphalt roof lost everything invested and you are
starting again. 14 years is not a long time. The metal roof is actually
less expensive when this cost comparison is made.
Here's something else
for you to consider. Steel has not gone up for over two years. Why? The
economy has not been good and would not support a price increase. It
would be a sure bet that in 3 months, if the economy would start to
rebound, the price of steel would go up at least 15%. It might be
considered a savings if purchased now. Also, installers are lowering
their prices to create business. This is a buyer control situation and
is a good way to make a purchase.

Quest for
Authenticity
As far back as the 1700s, some of the
nicest American homes were topped with metal roofs. Architects say the
recent resurgence stems from high-end clients' desire for materials that
are somehow more historically authentic than asphalt, yet are less apt
to induce sticker shock than slate, tile or wood shakes.

The
Roofing Report
So what do you know about re-roofing your
home? Unless you’re a roofer, builder or architect you probably don’t
know too much. Before we go too far, here’s an interesting tidbit that
you need to know right up front: Of all of the complaints filed with the
BBB and other reporting agencies for home improvement remodeling trades,
one of the highest (if not THE highest) number of complaints are lodged
against roofing contractors.

Homeowners on a Hot Metal Roof
More home builders and renovators are
saying no to asphalt-shingle roofs, heralding a revival of interest in
slate, clay tile, wood shake and other historically popular materials
that we considered both aesthetically pleasing and less harmful to the
environment. But most of these options are impractical. Slate and clay
tile are heavy and may require structural reinforcement. Wood isn’t
durable and offers limited fire resistance.
