You remember the day one of your friends mentioned something about the benefits of a new metal roof and how awesome it was. At that moment you thought your friend must have been clueless on the subject of metal roofing or he would never have thought of making such a stupid statement! After all, how can you imagine putting a metal roof on a house when it's likely to make loud noises when it rains. Not only that, a metal on your roof would surely make your house look like some sort of farm barn!
That is absurd! So you just dismissed your friend's views on the roof as uneducated and silly until you became a believer yourself. Follow us here for more about this,.
Oh man, the roof is so beautiful! And, wait a minute, is that metal?
Shortly after that silly conversation about the roof with your friend was all but forgotten, you were driving down your suburban street to a friend's house when your attention was suddenly drawn to a beautiful house that stands magnificently among other houses on that street. At that moment you also realized that it was the unusually sharp looking roof that caught your attention and made the house so appealing that you just had to take a closer look! Suddenly you find yourself stopping at the side of the road even though you're already running late to your friends' planned party. You had one of those moments where you just had to stop and look at this unusual roof. You went to the house to get a better look at the roof.
Standing just about 15 feet from the roof you can see the beautiful lines of the cedar shake design and the playful reflection of the sun. You realized that the roof you were looking at was unlike any other roof you had seen before, it had a beautiful appearance like cedar shingles, but you couldn't tell exactly what it was made of. Or could you? After mentally going through many well-known types of roofing materials, you realized that this roof might not look like what you imagined.
It's not exactly what you had in mind!
You were very surprised, even amazed, to learn that a roof covered with metal can look so magnificent. After all, you've always imagined metal roofing as gray and rusty corrugated iron roofing covering farm barns and old industrial buildings. You've all heard rumors about the loud noises they make when it rains and the danger of lightning they can attract. However, this metal roof of an apartment building did not look like the image you had programmed into your head, it was the complete opposite. It had the beautiful lines created by the thoughtful design of the metal clapboard tiles, metal ridge cap, and quality of a flashing metal detail.
Another discovery you made was that it wasn't the house itself that was great, the house was rather average, but it was the metal roof that made the house look like a million bucks.
Paradigm shift
Maybe you weren't a believer yet, but there was something that shifted in your perspective on metal roofing, the old prejudice about barn metal roofing evaporated and the new curious interest in metal roofing was born. You told your friends about the metal roof you saw and they were quite surprised when they heard about it. All but one didn't have much to say about it. But a friend of yours who has tried to tell you about the benefits of metal roofing before said, "See, mate, you made fun of it and now you're all excited about it." Indeed, your views began to differ to change. In fact, you've now been so curious about metal roofing that you've decided to speak to a knowledgeable contractor who installs metal roofing.
Not your typical roofing job
Your friend told you that installing metal roofing is completely different from traditional roofing and that your regular roofer doesn't know how to install metal roofing. In fact, he told you a story about a man who had a conventional roofer install a metal roof for someone he knew and it was a disaster. The roofer who did the installation didn't know what he was doing and did the wrong installation. As a result, the roof was leaking heavily and a new experienced metal roofer had to be brought in to repair the damage and reinstall the system from scratch.
