Metal and synthetic materials can be very costly compared to traditional roofing material but offer superior durability, longevity, and energy efficiency compared to shingle roofing. It's also more resistant to fire, rot, and mildew, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking for long-term value. If your roof has multiple valleys it may be better to look at a asphalt shingle roof for many reasons. We would be happy to discuss with you.

Preventing ice dams involves proper insulation, ventilation, and maintenance of the roof. Ensuring adequate attic insulation and ventilation helps maintain a consistent roof temperature, preventing snow from melting and refreezing at the roof's edge. Additionally, clearing gutters and downspouts of debris before winter can help prevent ice dams from forming.

High-quality shingle roofing materials, properly installed, can withstand strong winds and severe weather conditions. Modern shingle designs include features like reinforced layers and wind-resistant adhesives to enhance durability and prevent damage from wind uplift.

nstalling a metal roof involves precise measurements, fastening metal panels or shingles to the roof deck, and ensuring proper sealing and flashing to prevent leaks. Shingle roof installation typically involves laying down underlayment, followed by the placement of individual shingles and the application of flashing around roof penetrations. Each method requires skilled labor and adherence to manufacturer specifications for optimal performance and longevity.

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) roofs are known for their excellent weather resistance and durability, especially in extreme temperatures. TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roofs offer similar durability but are often preferred for their energy efficiency and ease of installation. Choosing between them depends on specific project requirements and budget considerations.
