Metal Roofing

Affordable Roofing installs multiple types of metal roofing.  In the residential market the product that has become very popular is called tough rip or “PBR.”  Not all metal roofs are the same.  It is important to purchase a good grade.  Affordable Roofing & Construction, Inc. encourages customers to purchase a 26 or 24 gauge metal. Anything thinner and your roof will not stand the test of time. The paint that is applied is also important to consider.  What paint warranty are you receiving?  The sun is harsh on the roof  and can take its tole on cheaper panels resulting in loss of color quickly. Another concern is skipping the trim needed to properly protect the building. Proper edge metal, eve trim, drip edge, valley metal, end wall flashing are a must or the system will not be water tight.  Many uneducated installers will skip these to save money and use caulk, the caulk will break down after a few years leaving the home owner with a mess. Another item that is important is enclosures.  These have to be installed to ensure bugs/bats/wasp and many other unwanted intruders can not enter the structure under the metal cap or the metal edge. There are many issues that may arise if not installed properly.  Any roof material is only as good as those installing it.  Affordable Roofing & Construction, Inc. have been in business since 1995 standing the test of time.

 On the commercial side the standing seam product is the most popular. The cost is a bit higher due to the labor and extra materials but the life expectancy is greater than that of those with fasteners piercing the metal. The fasteners are hidden and protected from the damaging rays of the sun. The panels are secured by clips to allow for expansion and contracting without damage to the roof decking or panel. Affordable Roofing is certified through NCI one of the largest metal providers in the United States and can help guide customers on the perfect panel profile for their project.
