Metal Roofs

alpineroofingny — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:59:39 +0000

Many homeowners in Upstate New York are opting for metal roofs for their homes.The advantages include better snow shedding, no chance for moss to grow on the roof and extremely low maintenance. Many roofers do not like to do metal roofs because of the difficulty of doing a professional job on houses with several valleys, dormers and chimneys. We at Alpine have been doing metal roofs for homes for seven years. We use only the best quality panels and have had very high customer satisfaction.

If your roof has one or sometimes two layers of shingles, we can usually install a metal roof over your existing roof. We simply build a plywood and wood “purlin” framework on the roof and screw the metal panels, trim and flashing tothat. This often enables us to offer customers a metal roof for up to 30% less than a new shingle roof.
In addition, customers who select one of the EnergyStar rated colors of metal roofing (most colors) qualify for aFederal tax credit of 30% of the material cost of the new roof, up to $1500.

For large barns and outbuildings,the savings are even greater. A metal roof is almost always the most affordable option.

Roof Maintenance

The best preventative maintenance that one can do is have your contractor perform semi-annual inspections to identify and solve problems as they occur. Roofs get more abuse from the elements than any other part of the building, and preventative maintenance is a key element to saving money on your roof by providing a longer service life. This section will provide some general guidelines to help keep your roof in good working condition for as long as possible.

Roof Repair

Most roof and siding leaks are hard to find because they originate away from where they show up. In order to find the source of a leak, follow a roofer’s advice and “think like water.” Water typically comes in through worn, broken, or missing shingles; where nails have worked loose; or through corroded or poorly sealed flashing’s around vents, skylights,chimneys, and along the intersections of roof planes. Once water passes the roofing, it flows along the sheathing, roof rafters, or topside of ceilings until it finds a place to drip down–inevitably onto your favorite piece of furniture.

Proper Ventilation

Did you know?

Many manufacturers’ warranties (of the roofing materials) become void if an attic is not properly vented.
A balanced ventilation system will reduce your utility costs and lengthen the life of your roof and HVAC system.
Proper ventilation can prevent mold and mildew and other temperature and moisture related problems.

One of the most important things for any homeowner to consider is proper attic ventilation. We find that most homes are under-vented and almost always not in balance (providing appropriate amount of roof top exhaust equal to air intake). This is most critical during the high temperature months of the year.
Attic ventilation is often overlooked by Houston roofing contractors because most do not understand the dynamics of air movement and are untrained in fixing unbalanced systems. Our staff is technically trained to specify the right system for each home or building and to install it properly.

Why Vent?

Attic ventilation might seem like a minor consideration, but when properly installed, it can extend the life of your attic and roof structure — saving you hundreds of dollars in repair costs.

During warmer months, ventilation helps keep attics cool. It helps prevent hot, moist summer air from warping the roof sheathing. It also stops shingles from deteriorating prematurely. What’s more, fresh air in the attic makes a home much easier to cool, which can result in lower energy costs.

In winter months, ventilation helps reduce moisture to keep attics dry. It stops water from backing up under shingles, damaging insulation, and rotting the roof structure itself. It also helps prevent ice dams from forming. Ice dams occur in areas where snowfall and cold temperatures are common and pose a special problem because they prevent melt water from running off the roof. They can even cause leaks inside your home, resulting in drywall damage.
