Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should I buy a quality lifetime roof?

Well, the modern metal roof is light years ahead of the traditional organic materials like Asphalt and Cedar.

1.

Adds real appraised value to your home. Protects the biggest investment you are ever likely to purchase. The cost of the roof stays in the value of the property. It's one of the most cost-efficient upgrades a homeowner can make.

2.

Returns over 100% of your remodel dollar. (Maintenance roofing doesn’t add 10 cents and then you get to do it again. Thats why the recycled paper industry loves Asphalt shingles.) Asphalt and Cedar start lifting and leaving at 50mph; tile at 68mph;, metal withstands at least 110mph. The harder the wind blows, the tighter it locks down.

3.

Stays looking exactly the same year after year through Tempest and Storm.

4.

Great resale value with our fully transferable warranties. Metal roofing attracts buyers and adds immeasurable value to your home.

5.

Zero maintenance. No more moss or mold, power washing, or applying harmful chemicals.

6.

The evidence detailing premature failure of Asphalt shingles and Cedar shakes is now overwhelming and conclusive.

7.

Can be installed over existing roof in many cases, avoiding costly removal and easing pressure on landfills.

8.

Would you borrow money to purchase a conventional system with a 100% certainty of going to the landfill 6 to 10 years later? The payments are likely to last longer than the roof.

Are metal roofs noisy?

No additional noise. You will hear significantly more noise on a skylight than on a metal roof.
