Metal Roofing Installation

Your Key to Surviving This Storm Season

Metal Roofing Installation Joplin

This year, the spring storms are back with a vengeance! For people who’ve chosen metal roofing installation, this isn’t a huge issue.

However, if you don’t have a metal roof, then the weekly warnings about torrential downpours, flash flooding, scattered thunderstorms, and strong winds can be pretty intimidating.

Which leads us to ask…

Have you considered metal roofing installation?

Many people have sworn their allegiance to shingles. They’ve always had shingles on their roof, and that’s all they ever plan to use.

These same people hate replacing their shingles. They despise having to get up on their roofs and re-shingle them every few years. And they’re sick and tired of having leaks drip down through their ceilings… But shingles are familiar, so that’s what they stick with
.
Does this sound like the cycle you’ve been living in? Shingle, strong winds, re-shingle, repeat…
Is your roof burdened by layer upon layer of flimsy shingles? Are you ready for a better option?

We dare you to try something different!

Contrary to what you may have heard, installing metal roofing isn’t rocket science. It doesn’t require advanced construction skills. And it won’t leave your house sounding like the inside of an old tin shack.
It will provide you with some incredible benefits:

  • Protection against strong winds and fierce storms.
  • Long-lasting, quality materials that won’t need replacing every few years.
  • Potential reduction in cooling costs.
  • Various colors and styles to choose from.

Plus, metal roofs are often made from recycled materials, so they’re more environmentally friendly.
With these benefits in mind, let’s dig a little deeper into the debate…

Metal roofing versus shingles?

Here are a few of the key factors that come up in any discussion about metal roofing versus shingles:

  1. Cost - In the short-term, metal roofing materials are likely to be more expensive than shingles. In the long-term, the benefits of a metal roof will more than tip the balance in your favor.
  2. Durability - You can’t beat metal roofing when it comes to durability. A metal roof can stand up against the fiercest weather any climate throws at it. This is one reason why metal roofing can actually increase the value of a home.
  3. Energy-efficiency - Asphalt shingle roofs absorb energy. That means your shingles make your house even hotter in the summer, which makes your A/C bill more likely to shoot through the roof! (Sorry for the pun…)

On the other hand, a metal roof can actually deflect heat and significantly lower your energy costs.
  4. Style - Metal roofs have become more and more popular over the past several years as people have begun searching for alternatives to shingles. One reason for this is the wide variety of colors and styles which are now available with metal roofs.

So, on top of saving money in the long-run and adding value to your house, you’re also adding curb appeal!

  5. Eco-friendly - As we mentioned before, metal roofing is better for the environment. Because the majority of metal roofing products are made from recycled materials, you’re also making an eco-friendly choice when you go with metal roofing.

You can learn even more about the benefits of metal roofing by going to the website of the Metal Roofing Alliance.

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, so many people think about losing weight, earning more, or spending less… but what about using the new year to focus on those home projects you’ve been putting off? We understand that many home improvement projects can seem daunting at first. They may require you to learn new skills or get outside your comfort zone. They may also require you to fix problems you would rather keep ignoring. But think about this for a second: wouldn’t it be nice to take care of those issues once and for all? You might be dealing with any one of these common scenarios: Your house is overflowing with stuff you don’t use very often (especially after another Christmas). Your roof is still leaking no matter how many layers of shingles you put on there. You can’t seem to keep your home warm in the winter, no matter how high you crank up your heater (and your utility bills keep climbing). Your garage doesn’t have enough space for all of the projects you want to take on. Or maybe you really just need a new garage door after your teen backed into the one you have. Whether you’re considering taking on one of these home projects, or you have something else in mind, we’re here to help you follow through in getting the most out of your home in 2020.

Has this last round of storms left you with a damaged or leaky roof? Are you looking for a supplier who can help you put the pieces back together? If so, you’re in luck! Metal Roofing: Just one of the services we offer… To be clear, we’re not a roofing company in the traditional sense. We don’t have a crew on hand that we can send out to do roofing repairs or installation. (Although we’d be happy to provide you the names of some installers!) What we can offer you are top-of-the-line metal roofing products you can use to protect your home from future storms. Wondering about the benefits of installing a metal roof?

If shielding your home from inclement weather, saving money on utility bills, and getting a great roof that’s made to last are on your to-do list, you’ve come to the right place! But first, let’s get real about metal roofing. You get a lot more for your money with a metal roof. If you’re looking for a cheap solution to your roofing problems, you’re probably better off slapping on another layer of shingles… However, if you’re looking for a quality solution that will last for decades, metal roofing is the perfect choice for you! When you invest in a metal roof, you get a lot more for your money. First, you’ll get peace of mind. Instead of cringing when you hear a storm rolling in, you’ll know your home is protected by a strong and sturdy roof that’s built to endure the worst weather. Second, you’re adding value to your home. Whether you’re planning to leave your home to your family, or you’re thinking of selling your home and heading south someday, investing in a metal roof will make your home an even more valuable asset in the future. “Is installing a metal roof simple?” If you’ve asked this question, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, there’s more to metal roofing than slapping some metal panels on over the top of your shingles and calling it “good.” It takes time and attention to detail to install a metal roof correctly. Is it rocket science? Absolutely not! But, like most things in life, doing it right will take some time and effort. Here are a few key things you need to consider: First, what kind of vapor barrier do you need to use? This is an important decision that deserves a blog all to itself. Lucky for you, you’ve got our experience on your side!

Next, what kind of fasteners should you use? This is another topic that deserves a more in-depth discussion than we can give it here. However, just like the choice of the right vapor barrier, finding the right fasteners is essential when it comes to installing a metal roof. What are the risks? You might ask… Using the wrong fasteners can lead to issues like: Leaks Corrosion Loose panels Or other serious issues But again, that’s why we’re here for you! You see, we’re not just here to sell you the materials. (Any old building supply store could do that…) We’re here to help you get your roof done right, in a way you can be proud of for years to come! Think of us as your friends in the metal business! And, just like with choosing the right vapor barrier, we can walk you through how to choose and correctly install fasteners that will work great and help protect the metal roof you’re investing in. What about ventilation? This is another factor that can get overlooked when it comes to installing a metal roof. The truth is, it’s just not something people think about if they don’t have experience in this area. However, just like with fasteners and vapor barriers, we’re more than happy to help you with this step as well. Not only will we talk you through your ventilation options, so you can make the best choices when it comes to installing your roof, we’ll also help you understand the risks involved when a roof isn’t properly ventilated. This way you’ll be able to bypass issues like condensation buildup, or other hazards like mold, mildew, or insect issues that come with leaks due to improper ventilation installation. Does that seem like a lot to take in? If so, don’t panic! Remember, we’re… More than a metal roofing company!
