5 Metal Roof Myths Uncovered

When it comes to choosing the type of roof for your house, you have so many options to choose from.  If you read our blog from two weeks ago, you've already heard about the many advantages metal roofs provide. However, you may have also heard some things about metal roofs that make you second guess the choice. As your Lake of the Ozarks roofer, we have decided to focus on 5 common myths about metal roofs this week.  MetalRoofing.com has some great information about these myths!  

Lightning


Contrary to popular belief, a metal roof will not increase the likelihood of lightning striking your home. However, if your home were struck by lightning, the metal roof would disperse the energy safely throughout the structure.  Since metal roofing isn't combustible or flammable, its a low risk and desirable option, especially where severe weather such as lightning is concerned.

Rust


Steel metal roofing has a "metallic coating" made of either zinc or a combination of zinc and aluminum making them built to last!  The metallic coating is bonded to the steel at the factory to prevent rust from forming. Then paint is applied over the metallic coating to provide the long-lasting color you desire for your roof at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Durability


Many people think that you can't walk on a metal roof without damaging it. This is incorrect; you can safely walk on any metal roof.   However, we recommend you talk to your installer or roof manufacturer before walking on it.  They will be able to provide details on how to walk on the particular roof that you have based on the style and pitch of the roof.

Noise


A common misconception is that a metal roof is noisier than other types of roofing.  The truth though, is that when installed with metal sheathing, a metal roof on your home will actually silence the noise from bad weather such as rain and hail.  Sometimes it will work even better to reduce the noise than other roofing materials.  

Dents


In most cases, a metal roof can withstand decades of extreme weather such as hail and heavy snow. The systems build today even have a 150-mph wind rating which is equal to an F2 tornado!  This means your metal roof is also safe from the wind gusts that can accompany hail storms.

When you’ve decided to upgrade or repair your roof, finding a Lake of the Ozarks roofing contractor is one of the first steps you’ll take. In order to get the best service for your money, it’s important to choose the right roofing company at the Lake of the Ozarks . Finding the right contractor can be challenging, but these 3 tips can help you make the right choice. 1. Avoid Storm Chasing Salesmen During storm season, you may see roofing companies soliciting their services in areas that the storm seemed to affect the most. They will come to your door saying that they can see storm damage on your roof and will insist on you getting it repaired right away. The sales person will ask you to sign a letter of intent to try and lock you into paying for services they have not even bid yet. Once the company comes out to big, you’ll find you’re being charged for the most expensive products on the market. These companies survive on storm chasing and tricking you into paying any price...

6 Reasons Your Roof May Be Leaking

Image
Most of us are guilty of taking our roof for granted. To most people a roof is just the top of the house. We just do not tend to think about it until it stops working correctly. The fact of the matter is, that by the time you notice a leak, you may already have a serious problem in your home. Leaks can cause all sorts of serious issues including damage to your ceiling, water stains, rot, mold and mildew and other problems to your home. Leaking should be taken care of as soon as it is noticed. As your Lake of the Ozarks roofer , we want to help you avoid those major issues. Here are six reasons why your roof may be leaking: 1. Chimneys Chimney stacks tend to collect water that can drain down and go through tiny spaces into your home. If there is any pooling of water around your chimney area, leaking could occur. 2. Flashing Flashing is the most common reason for a roof leak. When flashing becomes eroded or damaged, it is easy for a leak to form. In some cases, contractors...
