The King of durability

Metal roofs come in many styles and colors. Though costly up front the savings over the life of a metal roof beats asphalt in the long race hands down.

Why metal?

  • Metal is required in many forested areas to protect against forest fires. Whether it be a brush fire or a neighboring building structure metal can be counted on to protect your home from hot embers that can set an asphalt or wood shake roof a blaze. 

  • Lightweight, metal can be installed on nearly any building structure and can add strength to substrates that are 3/8" thick. 

  • Metal can be installed over skip sheeting and purlins removing the need for a solid substrate, depending on the style. 

  • Metal comes in a variety of styles from long panels to shingle-style panels that can mimic the look of shake or tile. 

  • Metal is the king of durability and is extremely impact-resistant. 

  • No other system can deal with snow more effectively than Metal.  Snow breaks can be placed in strategic locations to prevent the snow from piling up in front of doors and walkways, while the rest of the roof is free to shed the extra load. 
  • High wind resistance

  • 100% recyclable. 

  • Long life spans. Most zinc-coated roof systems commonly sold for residential use can last between 80-100 years.

Why it's a winner

What must be considered before buying tile

  • Tiles are heavy and your roof structure may not be up to the task of bearing all that weight. In some cases, a roof structure can be strengthened to bear the weight. 

  • Upfront costs are high for tile installations. 

  • Though tile is a low maintenance system broken tiles from impact or trafficking the roof can lead to repair costs. 

  • Tile storage. Because tiles can last a lifetime manufacturers may discontinue a style making replacing broken pieces a nightmare if you don't have a personal stock for making repairs. Finding storage space to last is a downside but a must. 

  • Difficult installation. An improperly installed tile roof is a costly nightmare that no one can afford.

The cons can outweigh the pros

  • Improper Installation accounts for most premature roof failures and property damages from leaks. Installation errors are numerous and are not fully listed here. Check out our blog posts for a more in-depth look. 

  • Improperly installed shingles will void the manufacturer's warranty of a new roof.

  • Nailing issues are one of the biggest reasons why a roof will not last its full term. 

  • Foot traffic during and after installation can scar the shingles, resulting in granule loss that exposes the base matting to the sun's UVs.

  • Installation difficulty is moderate and it's too easy to find an unqualified installer.

Cedar's of Old

One of the last roofing systems that has endured through the centuries. Shakes have covered humble cabins to luxury homes.

That look

  • Cedar Shakes are beautiful and unique. 

  • Can last up to 30 years if the shakes are made from older trees with dense wood.

They are not what they used to be

  • The cedar used in today's shakes is pulled from younger groves in Canada. With fewer rings, cedar shakes will not last 30 years as they once did. 

  • Expensive to install 

  • Low life expectancy

  • Like asphalt shakes do not age well, the later years are a silvery shimmer but at the end, they are dark and dull. 

  • No longer practical too few installers who know how to install or maintain them. 

  • No Fire resistance. 

  • Can be destroyed by fungus

Common Roof Questions

  • Do I have to have the old roof removed?

    Local building codes will allow two roof layers on any commercial or residential roof. We always recommend removing the existing layers, especially on slope roofs. Flat low, slope roofs are more accessible to cover with a second roof typically due to an added layer of insulation that creates a flat smooth surface. Sometimes built-up asphalt roof systems are adhered to the wood substrate and can't be removed. Many issues can arise from installing a new roof over an existing top on residential roofs or roofs with a slope. One problem is that if the old roof has any fasteners working up, they can puncture through the new roof system. Another issue is that if you have any rotting substrate or the substrate wasn't nailed according to current codes; those issues won't be resolved with your new roof. Another significant issue is that the ice guard is designed to adhere to the wood substrate; this will only happen if installed over the old roof shingles. Local building codes require ice guard; however, installing it over shingles renders the product useless, and your dollars produce less value overall.

  • Will the roofers be noisy?

    Yes, the re-roofing process is noisy.

  • What is a bond and why is it important that my contractor has one?

    A surety bond provides a form of guarantee that the contractor will complete the project and to the industry standards. 

  • Why should I hire a licensed contractor?

    A licensed contractor can obtain permits and workers compensation for employees. A job can be shut down by the city if permits are not obtained. Also when you hire workers who are not licensed you become the sole contractor and become responsible for all workers injuries. Furthermore, hiring non-licensed contractors who carry no bond can result in other issues. Most contractors protect themselves and the building owner with contracts. In many cases a home owner will pay someone to do work that gets started but never completed. Thousands are spent and the homeowner is forced to seek professional help. 

  • Will my entire roof be torn off and a big mess left until the end of the project?

    This is very typical with many roofing contractors. In some cases the contractor will pass on fines from the city to you on the final bill. With Yakima Roofing & Remodeling, LLC we remove only what we can cover and clean per day.
