I live in El Paso,Texas where it is very hot in the summer and my husband says metal roofing will not work for us. Iam also concerned about the weight problem since our homes are very often constructed very cheaply using day laborers . The weather here is very corrosive to roofs and I want something that will last .

Metal roofing works very well in climates such as El Paso. For several reasons, metal roofs are often "cool" roofs, helping to reduce attic temperatures and home air conditioning costs. Because metal roofing is not oil-based, it is highly resistant to both high and low temperature extremes. Additionally, did you know that metal roofing, depending upon the product you choose, is typically only from one third to one eighth the weight of traditional shingles? Wow, sounds to me like metal roofing will meet your needs and desires very well. Have you used this website yet to research products you like and to track down installers in your area?
