While there are endless benefits to installing a new metal roof, one main benefit is the tax rebate of $1500.  The 2009 Stimulus Package provides substantial tax credits and tax rebates to homeowners who make energy efficient upgrades to their home, and has been extended through 2010!!!!

All 35 colors of our standing seam metal roofing are ENERGY STAR rated, which makes the roof eligible for the federal tax credits.  The tax credit expires on December 31, 2010 and includes 30% of the projects material costs, up to $1500. While all of our standing seam metal roofs are eligible for the tax rebate, there is only a limited selection of shingle roofs on the ENERGY STAR list.  You should choose reflective roofing during the building design process, and also when you are looking to replace your current roof as a substitute for asphalt shingles.

Qualified roofing systems reflect more of the sun’s rays, which can lower the roof surface by up to 100 F, decreasing the amount of heat transferred to your home. Cool metal roofing not only looks great and lasts for decades, but standing seam metal roofing has the ability to lower your annual energy costs by up to 40%!!! You home can have significant savings because Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings.

*Check out this Bonus 1500 Tax Fact: Detached garages, barns and other sturcutures on your property also are eligible for the tax rebate! The law states that products are covered if “such component is installed in or on a dwelling unit located in the United States…”

Detached structures may be considered part of the “dwelling unit” if you use them as part of your living space, for example, as a workshop, or an extra bedroom.
