It’s no secret that roofs need to withstand harsh environmental elements. Rain, hail, storms, and heavy winds can do a number on shingles over time, so it’s important to understand that shingle damage weakens your roofing system. 

A cracked or damaged shingle affects the roof by making your system vulnerable to harsh weather. Compromised shingles allow moisture from the elements to work their way in—not to mention the increased chance of mold and mildew growth on your ceiling and walls.

When you notice trouble, don’t put off roof repair. Instead, call us for asphalt roof shingles repair services. Get in touch with us today! 

Premium Shingles

These shingles are rated for any wind storm, and come with a lifetime guarantee depending on the manufacturer. Most of these shingles offer a discounted homeowner’s insurance.

Corrugated Metal Panel

Exposed fastener metal roofing. This is the cheapest metal roofing option due to the exposed screws that hold panels down. These roofs last a long time with the correct maintenance. You can expect to replace all of the screws every 5-8 years.

Standing Seam

This is the most reliable, and durable metal roofing product. Standing seam metal roofing is also the most expensive metal roofing product available. Metal panels are held together using clips and fasteners that are not exposed which give the longest lifespan of any roof. 

Go With the Specialists

Metal roof installation requires knowledgeable specialists who understand the ins-and-outs of commercial roofing. The systems are installed and function differently than those of asphalt shingles and require special techniques. If you hire general roofers to install your metal roof, they may not be familiar with the unique installation process. You risk structural damage and compromised roof quality.
