New Metal Roofs
Are you interested in installing a new metal roof? That would be understandable as metal roofs offer a number of advantages compared to other kinds of roofs. Metal roofs can last for upwards of 50 years and are available in steel or aluminum. Sheet coatings can be either a special coating or can be powder coated. Many different colors are available.
Metal panels used on roofs interlock for exceptional wind resistance. Metal roofs are low in weight and offer high resistance to damage from hail (particularly steel sheets). Metal roofs are also fire resistant and energy efficient (keep the building cooler). In fact, their fire resistance may qualify you for a discount on your home-ownership insurance.
Metal roofs make sense. If you live or work in the Cross Lanes, WV area, give us a call to discuss the advantages of a metal roof on your building.
Metal Roof Repairs and Maintenance
Metal roofs last a long time, but they occasionally need repairs due to storms or time-based problems. Expansion and contraction can cause a leakage problem around nail holes. It is possible that some spots may rust due to storm damage. Heavy wind and rain can damage metal flashing. However, metal roofs are more resistant to storm damage than are most other roofing materials. Any damage should be immediately repaired; this is called maintenance.
We serve the Cross Lanes WV area and know that we occasionally get severe hail with our storms. Therefore, we would normally not recommend using aluminum as the metal type for your metal roof. Hail can dent aluminum more readily than steel. Steel roofs offer many advantages in areas which get severe thunderstorms.
Since many steel panel manufacturers guarantee their product for 30 or more years, you may get the cost of repairs covered by this guarantee. Check your home-owner’s insurance contract or call your insurance agent. If you have any kind of damage on your metal roof, and live in the Cross Lanes WV area, give us a call and we will be glad to discuss the cost of repairs.
Metal Roof Drainage
Roof drainage is normally accomplished with what are known as roof gutter systems. There are a number of different styles and a multitude of different colors available to match your metal roof. Gutter systems vary from 12-inch half-round to the more standard smooth box gutter. Downspouts are available in round or rectangular style. The metal can be aluminum or galvanized steel, copper, or zinc. Hangars, expansion joints, elbows, brackets, and other peripheral fittings are available. The drainage system can be color-coded to match your existing metal roof. If you live in the Cross Lanes WV area, give us a call or fill in the form to discuss your metal roof drainage needs.
