Homeowners can now receive a 2016 tax credit for their Metal Roofs! In an article published by Metal Roofing Industry News, a report by the MRA states that the U.S. Government has officially approved a $500 tax credit for metal roofs installed in 2015 and 2016. This is a huge deal for Metal Roofers and homeowners alike. Of course with any type of tax credit there are qualifying factors that must be established to receive the credit.
