One thing you didn't talk about is fire resistance. Here in the West, that is a huge issue. AFAIK, lots of building codes require class A fire ratings and most shingles can't meet that requirement without a complete system (underlayment, fastening, etc), whereas metal can meet it alone. I'm intrigued by metal shingles, which might be a good alternative.

Everytime I watch a video I switch from metal to shingle & back again. One video by a roofer found by searching "disadvantages of metal roofs," he didn't install the metal roof but is repairing the roof, made some good points about the disadvantages of metal roofs. Of course, the video I watched before the "disadvantages video" made me want to get a metal roof. I'm so conflicted. It's not the metal that won't last, it's the installation that can be poor that can cause issues.

The garage on our house has a metal roof it is a product called ProSnap a large branch 5” fell on it with no damage but a dent in my car after it slid off the roof. I’ve seen hail damage destroy singled roofs leaving only unnoticeable cosmetic damage to the metal roof. Here in northern Illinois ice dams are a problem but not on metal roofing. The biggest draw back (besides price) is cosmetic, just doesn’t look right on some homes. Metal roofing should Never be nailed down but should be screwed down! Simple roofs no valleys… are fairly diy friendly our 16 year old son did most of the installation of the garage roof 15 years ago and later on the house.

You didn't mention it, but what about having to walk on the roof? Sometimes vents, solar panels, ducts, etc. need to be working on, and you or a maintenance person will need to walk on the roof. Asphalt shingle provide some give and grit to hold reduce slipping. I would think a metal roof would be more prone to denting while being walked on or you just cannot walk on it at all lest you slip all the way to the ground on the slick surface. What's your perspective on 'walkability' between asphalt and metal roofing?
@dreamworxroofing4955 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! That’s a good one and definitely something to consider. Especially with solar panels which would require routine maintenance like cleaning. They do make shoes meant to help traction on metal roofs like magnetic cougar paws but they are expensive and still not a fail safe. Shingles would definitely be my recommended option if roof walking is something that needs in the future.

Not true. Quality metal roofing has reflective paint applied. Just like any product, there are many quality levels of metal roofing available. The best products absolutely do not absorb a lot of heat, no matter the color. Also, a properly installed metal roof should have an air gap between it and the sheathing below, and the sheathing should be covered with a waterproof underlayment. An air gap below metal roofing extends the life of the entire roof assembly even further. You simply can't beat a high quality metal roof for longevity and durability.

Right on, good video. asphalt shingle rated life, and warranties are not worth the shingle wrapper that they are written on. They are full of limitations ,and are pro rated and the only thing that they guarantee is that you might get a slightly reduced rate on the same roof that prematurely failed in the first place. If you want to see the reality of comp roofs just go to the local landfill where they dump it. What most people don't know is that metal roofs can be pressure washed, primed and repainted way down the road...and you have a brand new looking roof.

Since it was installed about 15 years ago - good luck finding the contractor who installed it. I though about repainting the roof but I would need a boom to get up there to paint it - not a great option. In the mean time - I installed a high end shingle roof on my home and love the look of it much better than metal. Although recently they have started to come out with metal that looks more like a shingled roof which has me intrigued. BTW - quite moving around so much - you made me running for the bathroom...lol

Over the pond in the UK we hardly use the asphalt shingle - its been around a long time but has never become popular. Metal roofing is becoming more popular in new build houses but it's still a minority roofing material. Our most common roofing system is by far lightweight conrete tiles and for more expensive higher quality we still still use kiln fired ceramic tiles - usually teracotta coloured. The concrete tiles come in a variety of sizes, contours and finishes. There are also a few different colour options such as teracotto, dark grey and black finish. Because of the weather we don't usually need solar reflectrivity as we tend to want heat coming in rather than being reflected. A lot of barn conversions we have been popular over here for many years are now done in metal roofing panels. I personally don't like this contrast but it's far cheaper than thousands of individual tiles on a large roof. Interesting how America has never seemed to adopt brick built houses like we have done over here.
@dreamworxroofing49552 жыл бұрын
We have much respect for the roofing done over the pond. It seems the roofs and homes for that matter, are more generational in the UK. Homes are valued assets in the US but they feel a bit throw away sometimes with the materials we use to build. Metal roofing is certainly making its mark on the roofing industry here but shingles still dominate the market.

@@dreamworxroofing4955 Do you not have a greater choice of roof material in the US ? It would be an interesting project to see how housing developed over the 400 year or so period that has passed since emmigrants from Europe to the US brought their building skills with them and utilised them using the raw materials available to them. You can certainly see structural similarities in the east coast because that is where the first waves of immigrants landed. In the UK most of our houses are built from brick/block combinations. Stone was used massively in areas where ther was suitable sources of stone to be quarried. Sandstone in the north of England, granite it Scotland, Limestone in the Midlands, Flint in the south and granit e again in the south east. The main reason being that we had exhausted our sources of wood as the great forests in England and Scotland had been cut down to build houses and the huge amount of ships we needed to rule the seas. America seems to have favoured wood rather than stone or bricks. If you like houses and buildin England probably has the most diverse range of building techniques and designs in the world.

Glad you found the video helpful! Unless you have a flat area to store the shingles on the roof, I would only bring up onto the roof what you plan on installing that day. You want the shingles to be stored flat so they do not form a hump in the middle. If they were to be stored slumped over the peak of the roof, this could happen and the shingles could have a “hump” in the middle once installed. Whether they are on the ground or roof, they are packaged in a way that there is no need to worry about them melting together. Best of luck with your install and feel free to contact us if you need any assistance!

If it's 5 rib, it's far worse to deal with; the weight of the snow has a tendency to pull them; you will have to replace said screws yearly; otherwise you will have leaks. I can't say too much about standing seam however.

We have slate roofs where I live. I can't recall anyone having storm damage for a long time. How come you companies dont talk "Slate". I know it's heavy and you need to install it properly and the price of everything is going up and that there are few men that know how to install it, but still it's a great option for a durable logo lasting roof.

Slate may be the best product out there. Tons of slate in our area too and some are approaching 80-90 years old. Shingles and metal are by the far the most economical choices but slate has certainly stood the test of time and deserves to be in the conversation. Thanks for the idea!

Don't care about warranty on shingles... insurance company will not cover you if they are close to 20 yrs old.
@OUTDOORS5510 ай бұрын
Not true
@dreamworxroofing495510 ай бұрын
Not necessarily. An insurance company will take more depreciation on a roof that is 20+ years old but they will not deny a claim based soley on the age of the roof. This is why it's important to read through and understand your insurance policy before you need to use it!
@steve663110 ай бұрын
@dreamworxroofing4955 no, you misunderstand what I meant. Insurance companies will not write a policy giving you coverage, if your roof is over 20 years old.

@3:10 "Most commonly used roofing material in the world". No its not! Asphalt Shingles are mostly used in north america, US & Canada basically. The rest of the world go for metal and ceramic/clay/fiberglass.

“You can very easily just replace a shingle or two or three” ????? Then why when I had a single shingle damaged on my roof did the insurance company hand me a check for $28,000 to replace the entire roof instead of a check for $28 for a single shingle???
@dreamworxroofing4955 Жыл бұрын
There are a lot of variables here. Did you have a discontinued shingle on your roof? Were the shingles old and brittle and unable to be repaired? Insurance companies can have a lot of reasons for replacing vs repairing. Generally speaking though, shingles can usually be repaired. It sounds like things worked in your favor with your roof.

This wide. Is that metric or imperial measurement. How many in a foot ? lol
@dreamworxroofing49553 жыл бұрын
"This wide" is my own custom measuring system. Patent pending. Standing seam panels will typically come in a width of 19.5". However, they can be custom sized down to 11.5".

You would think that front-line workers that support small local business would be rewarded for their efforts. But for some it's all about profit. Case in point: I always thought you get what you pay for. Not in this case! I went with Hy-Grade roofing even though they were by far the most expensive quote I received. Worst decision I could have made. They promised to install the roof in 4-6 weeks, of course they were late. When they finally showed up without the proper equipment and they damaged my property. Sad part is that my poor wife found the damage after coming home from her frontline COVID job. Broke my heart to see how upset she was when she saw the damage! SHAME ON HY-GRADE! They are really proud of the “Quality Audit” that they do, but of course they won’t give you a copy of the audit…lol BTW - the “Quality Audit” they did at my house consisted of 2 guys coming over to pick up the leftover junk they left at my house for a month. They never even went up on the roof! Horrible customer service experience! Save your money use someone else!

Sorry to hear about your experience, Mike. We always say around here that a successful project is 90% about the contractor and 10% about the materials. A great product is nothing without a solid company performing the install. In addition, a quality control audit should always be performed by inspecting the roof up close and personal. A poorly installed roof can look great from a distance. Perhaps another independent roofer could get up there for you to check over the work and give you some piece of mind. We wish you all the best and please thank your wife for her service on the frontlines of this pandemic.

Metal roofs do not belong on a house that's my opinion and i have my reason. If done right with the proper shingle ull get 30 years+ out of it
@dreamworxroofing49552 жыл бұрын
I can see how you would have that opinion. We definitely recommend if you are using metal on a home, that it be standing seam and not exposed fastener metal.

Please ask your presenter to curb his moving about. He moves so much at times he makes some experience motion sickness. The nausea of sea sickness interferes with his presentation and message. Standing next to the item he focuses and placing his hand on the item he is focusing will help him limit his unconscious or subconscious movements. Good information a bit lost watching him nervously dance about.

Steel roof you gona get 20 to 25 years before you replace or have to paint it. Paint job on steal good for 8 to 10. My as well replace steel roof for what a good paint job cost. Shingles 8 to 12 years today. After 3 years forget about them standing behind shingles. Hail is the killer on shingle roofs and try to get ins. Co. to stand behind it. With steel if hail dents the roof you have proof of damage and Ins. Co. will have to replace your steel roof because hail damage the factory warranty. Takes up 2 years before hail damage to show up on shingle roof and Ins. Co. won't pay to replace shingle as they say it's wear and tear. Tell me how I know. I have not seen a good soo called Asphalt shingle in over 25 to 30 years. There all fiber glass shingles today. Junk.

Great video!!!!! But here's the true Facts, !!!!! A certified installer by GAF, Owen's corning tamco etc..... Means nothing!!!!! The contractor goes to a 5 hour pitch session about there products and a free lunch!!!! A certified installer is nothing compared to a ticketed journeyman roofer! A gold seal or red seal roofer Please let customers know the TRUTH
