Retrofit metal roofing is the process of installing a metal roof over an existing roof. The benefits of retrofitting a metal roof are numerous, including enhanced durability, energy efficiency, and fire resistance.

In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of a retrofit metal roof and how Paramount Metal Systems can provide cost-effective,
high-quality retrofit roofing solutions.

What is Retrofit Metal Roofing?

Retrofit metal roofing involves installing a new metal roof atop your existing one, preserving the current structure, and reducing waste. The process offers numerous benefits compared to a complete roof replacement, including cost savings, a quicker installation time, and the enhanced durability of a metal roof.

What are the Benefits of Retrofitting a Metal Roof?

Retrofit metal roofs are known for their durability, with the potential to extend the life of your roof by up to 50 years. Additionally, they can improve energy efficiency, resulting in reduced energy costs for businesses. 


Retrofit metal roof installation also offers increased fire resistance, improving the safety of your property. 


For these reasons, retrofit metal roofing can also increase the value of your property.
