Roofing technology has evolved rapidly and there is now a wide range of materials that can be used to create a roof today.
Roof leaks are not always the sign of a failed roofing system.
Roof leaks can be found where roofs end and other materials start, such as chimneys, valleys, walls or plumbing vents.
Metal roofing has aesthetic advantages, being able to mimic many other forms of roofing, and enjoys the longest practical service life.
If you choose to install the metal roofing over the old roofing materials you can create a base by screwing down 1x4 boards lengthwise every 2 feet.
It’s advisable to keep the roof and guttering in a good condition to enable a property to remain weatherproof.
Metal roofs have returned from the olden days to become a popular roofing option.
Millions of roofs in the United States are plagued with roof moss and roof algae growth.
The recognized need to use renewable resources has led to a revival of traditional, natural building methods, along with a growing market for biomass roofing.
Roofing treated with zinc or copper particles for algae resistance is a good idea in humid climates.
