A metal or tin roof is a roofing system made from metal tiles. These roofs are best known for their durability in terms of being fire resistant, hail and wind resistant, and even snow resistant, as they quickly heat up in the sun enough to melt the snow.

Architect Benjamin Latrobe influenced the development of the modern day metal roof. He used sheet iron when replacing the roof of Princeton University’s Nassau Hall, which had been a victim of an extensive fire in 1802.

While you may be the type of homeowner who relishes handling repairs and improvements around the house, your roof may not be the best DIY project. Because of the sharp pitch of many roofs, roofing repairs are best left to roofing professionals.

If you live in an area that gets frequent high winds, you’ll definitely want to consider putting a metal roof on your home. Its wind rating can be up to 160 miles per hour (meaning it can withstand gusts this strong), which is well in excess of building codes and can give you peace of mind.

Shingles come with warranties. If the shingles are improperly installed, the warranty is voided, and may void the warranty for the entire roof. Use a roofing contractor even for patch jobs to make sure the work is done correctly.

The word shingle comes from a mispronunciation of the German word shindel, which connotes a piece of slate placed on a roof.

Solatubes are a great solution if you have a large space that lacks natural sunlight. With multiple domes and tubes installed to capture and channel light into the room, you can flood even large areas with light.

By performing a thermal scan, we can locate areas of moisture not visible to the naked eye. Once pinpointed, they can be dried before we apply the roof coating so that it is not accidentally trapped.
