Are there tax benefits associated with metal roofing?
Yes! The federal government has written an initiative within the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that rewards consumers of new metal roofs with a tax credit of up to $500. The credit qualifications require that homeowners outfit their homes with metal roofing with appropriate pigmented coatings which meet the Energy Star program requirements of at least 65% solar reflectance for low-slope roofing and 25% solar reflectance for steep-slope roofing. As designated by Energy Star, Factory Direct Installations DL-40 Plus product meets this criterion. The program ends December 31st, 2007 , so act fast!
