Protect your property and your investment!

Your roof is the first line of defense between nature and your most valuable assets and cherished belongings. Steel roofs can withstand gail to hurricane force winds, hail, fire, and wind-driven rain.

Here are some common questions about metal roofs and the answers to those questions.

Q. How much protection does a metal roof offer?

A. FIRE: a metal roof will not burn or support combustion
WIND: Experience at recent hurricanes has shown that metal roofs outperformed other roofing products.
WATER: a metal roof has a low rate of water absorption, greatly reducing damage to structure. And a metal roof cannot be penetrated by hail.

Q. Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?

A. Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not noisy when it rains. In fact, according to one study, metal roof's noise levels are about the same as other products like asphalt shingles, wood shingles or clay tiles.

Q. Does my home's present roof have to be removed before a metal roof is installed?

A. In most applications over asphalt, our metal roofs can be applied directly over the old roof, saving money and eliminating a great deal of mess. In addition, because there is no old roof to dispose of, landfill space is spared, helping to protect our environment.

Q. Why should I spend more for a metal roof?

A. Ordinary roofing materials have shorter life spans than metal and will need to be replaced regularly. With constantly increasing material and labor costs, that could mean a significant expense over the life of your home. A metal roof virtually never needs to be replaced, saving you money while adding value to your home.

Q. How can a metal roof save money on energy bills?

A. Metal reflects the majority of the sun's rays, so it doesn't retain as much heat as wood, asphalt shingles, tile or cement. This means a metal roof could help your attic stay cooler longer - leading to a significant reduction in your energy bills.
