The more seams in a roof, the more opportunities for leaks. Shingles are roughly 3′ wide by 1′ tall. Even on a small roof, there are many seams on an asphalt shingle roof. A concealed fastener metal roof, on the other hand, such as standing seam, has much fewer seams, therefore, fewer opportunities for roof leaks. This was one problem this Greeley, CO homeowner was wanting solved – roof leaks.
They also wanted a roof that was more durable and longer-lasting. Traditional asphalt shingles only last between 15 and 25 years. However, a metal roof should last 70 years or more. That’s because new concealed fastener metal roofs are more durable and resistant. Standing seam metal roofs are more resistant to hail than traditional asphalt shingles. They are also more resistant to high winds, fire, mold and mildew.
New concealed fastener metal roofs are also more energy-efficient, especially white, which is what this homeowner wanted. A white standing seam metal roof is the coolest, most energy-efficient roof you can have. The porch this roof was installed over will be noticably cooler than the old asphalt shingle roof they previously had. A cooler roof means a cooler home 🙂
The other request this homeowner had was they wanted a different style of roof from your everyday asphalt shingles, something a little classier. Most homes have an asphalt shingle roof. Although standing seam metal roof installations in Greeley, CO are on the rise, there aren’t that many.
