How Metal Roofing Shields Your Home from Hail, High Winds, and Fire Damage—Year After Year

When the skies darken and severe weather rolls in, your home’s first and most critical line of defense is the roof. At Moore Quality Exteriors, we believe your roof should do more than just "get you through the storm"—it should give you long-term peace of mind. That’s where metal roofing excels. In an era of increasingly unpredictable weather and growing wildfire risks, metal roofs are setting a new standard for home protection.


Hail Damage Resistance: No More Dents in Your Budget

Hail is one of the most common and costly sources of roof damage in the Midwest. Traditional asphalt shingles often crack or lose granules under hail impact, leading to leaks and costly repairs.

Metal roofing, especially those with Class 4 impact ratings, is engineered to withstand large hailstones without cracking, denting, or failing. With a properly installed metal roof from Moore Quality Exteriors, you’re investing in a surface that’s tested against the harshest conditions—over and over again.

Bonus: Many insurance companies offer premium discounts for impact-resistant roofing systems.


High Wind Performance: Built to Withstand Nature’s Fury

Straight-line winds, derechos, and tornado-related gusts are becoming more frequent. While asphalt shingles can be lifted or torn off entirely, metal roofing systems are typically rated for winds of 120–140+ mph—far exceeding code requirements.

We install standing seam and interlocking panel systems that are securely fastened, often with concealed clips and reinforced underlayments. That means your roof won’t just survive the next storm—it will stay intact and in place.


Fire Resistance: Added Protection When You Need It Most

Whether it’s a lightning strike, nearby wildfire, or a chimney mishap, fire is a devastating risk. Unlike wood shakes or asphalt shingles, metal is non-combustible and does not ignite when exposed to direct flame or flying embers.

Metal roofing carries a Class A fire rating—the highest possible—making it one of the safest options for homeowners in rural, wooded, or fire-prone areas.


Longevity and Lower Lifetime Costs

Protection from the elements isn’t just about today’s weather—it’s about performance over decades. Metal roofs:

  • Last 40–70 years with minimal maintenance
  • Resist mold, mildew, and rot
  • Retain structural integrity better than most materials

That’s long-term security with lower lifetime costs—and less environmental impact from repeated tear-offs and replacements.
