How long will metal roofing last?

Our metal roofs are manufactured from "Galva-strength" steel, a hybrid material that combines the strength of carbon steel with the weight of aluminum and the thermal properties of zinc. This super-powerful combination prevents our metal roofs from drying out, splitting, curling, peeling or flaking. In use in some of the world's monumental buildings for the past century, this material has proven its durability and strength through the test of time. And with our new process that infuses the metal with our anti-weathering paint, your metal roof shouldn't have any issues with roof colors fading or discoloring.

How will I save on my energy costs with a metal roof?

Asphalt shingles absorb heat, creating high temperatures in the upper reaches of your home during warm months, forcing your cooling system to work overtime. In the winter, heat can escape from your home through the vented layering that shingle patterns possess.

Neither of these issues are a problem with our patented system. In terms of your home's exterior, our metal roofing panels will reflect up to 70% of the sun's radiant heat, giving your cooling system a serious advantage. In the winter, the system acts as blanket, trapping heat and saving energy. This thermal reflectivity can save you up to 42% on your monthly energy bill! If it doesn't, we'll happily pay the difference as part of our Energy Savings Pledge

Since I'm an older person, why should I worry about a lifetime warranty when I can get a 30-year Tamko Asphalt Shingle that's less expensive and will outlive me?

This is a big misconception and a commonly asked question. Even the best 30-year asphalt shingle only has a replacement warranty for the first few years. At this point it is aggressively prorated to where there is no coverage due to natural weathering, thus the reason why asphalt roofs need replacing after 8-12 years. The average size home roofed with asphalt costs around $5,000.00. However, you'll have to replace it in eight to twelve years. Add inflation over ten years plus tear-off cost to do it again for $8700.00 for a total cost over ten years of $13,700.00. It is seen in just a ten year time frame, a homeowner's true cost in an asphalt roof is $13,700.00. Compare that to a Limited Lifetime Metal Roof that you should NEVER need to replace!

We have many clients in their retirement years between the ages of 50-80. These buyers are well educated and experienced. They know from experience you get what you pay for in life. They've purchased 4-5 asphalt roofs in their lifetime and know for a fact that an asphalt roof won't last 30 years. These clients are looking for a roof that is maintenance free as well as worry free from storm damage. Eliminating the need to hire a roofing contractor and going through hassle and interruption in life during elderly years is more than enough reason to spend a little more on a lifetime roof guaranteed to never be bothered with roof replacement again!

If you factor in the resale value that a metal roof adds to your home, you can potentially make your money back when your home goes on the market. A metal roof is an attractive option to a prospective buyer, particularly when you make them aware that it will be virtually maintenance and hassle free for them as well.

Why spend more money for metal roofing?

Conventional roofing materials such as asphalt shingles have a significantly shorter life span and according to the insurance industry. The average replacement age of a typical 40 year architectural asphalt shingle is between 8-12 years. They begin to devalue your roof because of discoloration, stains, and algae growth within the first few years after installation. A typical asphalt roof, even with the new high wind warranties, only carries a five year warranty against shingles blowing off. The rest of the warranty is usually prorated. The Advanced Metal Roofing^® System carries a Limited Lifetime transferable warranty. Our Metal Roofing System actually increases in value with the rest of your home saving the homeowner up to 42% on utility bills. No conventional roof can make these claims. Homeowners will never need to hire a roofing contractor as long as they live in their home, that's priceless!!

Does my asphalt roof have to be removed before installing a metal roofing system?

In most cases the removal of your asphalt roofing is unnecessary. Considering the weight of our metal roofing system is 1/3 the weight of a conventional asphalt roof, it's most efficient to install it directly over your shingles. This saves time and keeps the mess to a minimum while also preventing any damage that might occur if a storm were to happen during the tear-off. In fact, installing over your old roof is preferable due to the increase in insulative properties that both layers provide. You'll also be saving landfill space by not having to dispose of your old shingles.

Will a metal roof's color fade?

Very little, if at all! Paint systems applied on our metal roofing system can be expected to provide excellent performance in nearly every environment. We use a siliconized polyester paint system combined with advanced chemical pre-treatments and high performance primers that are baked on. This process helps increase overall corrosion resistance, therefore preventing rust. We also offer attractive metal roof color choices to custom fit with your home..

What is the difference between the Galvalume Metal you use for metal roofs and the competitor's Galvanized Metal?

Galvalume sheet has been successfully used in roofing applications for more than 25 years; it has been evaluated in outdoor tests for well over 30 years. Based on these tests, in which corrosion weight losses were measured and compared with galvanized, Galvalume sheet is projected to outlast galvanized sheet (with and equivalent coating thickness) in various atmospheres by up to (9) nine times..

Is a metal roof noisier in the rain than other roofing material?

With the way homes are insulated today, it is no more noisy than any other roofing material. In fact, if installed over your old asphalt roof, your new metal roof might even be less noisy due to the extra sound barrier provided by our metal roofing material.

Can you walk on a metal roof?

Yes, you can walk on a metal roof. Care must always be taken when walking on your roof, however.

Metal surfaces can become slippery when wet or covered with foreign materials. For safety precautions, there should be no walking on a metal roof at these times. Also, due to the powerful reflective properties of our materials, metal roofs can become very, very hot on a bright summer day. Always use caution when climbing on your roof and make sure you have someone nearby to assist just in case.
