Considering A Metal Roof?

Considering A Metal Roof?

It's difficult to eliminate that barnyard image from your mind when you think about metal roofing systems. But, the truth is that today's metal roofing is nothing like the metal barnyard roofing of yesterday. A metal roof is actually the leader in residential roof choices and is hands-down the best roof product out there. There is one, and only one, downside to metal roofing which has actually kept it back from acquiring popularity. The downside is the high initial purchase price and setup cost. For instance, metal roofing for the average size ranch style house in the Florence South Carolina area (let's utilize a 1,400 square foot home as an example) could cost up to $15,000. That's a lot for the typical Florence homeowner. While I am no financial advisor, I feel that I ought to provide some monetary advice to all those new roof applicants out there. My suggestion is: Do it! If you cannot pay that full price up front, then you should consider financing alternatives since in the end, as there is virtually no maintenance connected with metal roofing systems and they will last a minimum of 50 years. Top-notch metal roofs which are set up appropriately will last even longer.



If you are considering making a financial investment in your house by changing the roof, then opt for metal roofing considering that it will increase the value of your home. In reality, lots of estimate that a brand-new metal roofing system can increase your house's worth by approximately 50%. That's right – and in today's housing market! Even in an excellent real estate market that is nearly unheard of!



Let's explore the many advantages to metal roof:



No stripping required: Metal roofing systems can be set up over existing roofing systems such as asphalt shingled roofs. This saves labor costs on striping and removal and is also environmentally friendly, as the old roofing shingles will not be tossed into a garbage dump.



No noise: Homes that are roofed with metal do not experience any more noise than conventional asphalt shingled roofs. This is since the metal roof shingles are set up over an existing roofing system or over another support system.



Recycled material: Metal shingles are made of a minimum of 28% recycled scrap metal material. All metal roofing system shingles are recyclable.



Energy effective: Metal roofing remain cooler than other roof types, thus keeping your house cooler which indicates lower energy expenses for you! In reality, in really hot areas in the U.S., metal roofing systems are utilized to significantly decrease energy costs for cooling.



Tax credits: Because of their remarkable energy conserving capabilities, metal roofings are included in the Federal tax credits for home improvements. You can claim up to $1500 in tax credits for installing certified, energy star authorized metal roofs. Check out energystar.gov to find out more.



Insurance cost savings: The resilience and overall excellence of metal roofing has actually been acknowledged in the insurance coverage industry. As a result, property owners with metal roofing systems have actually experienced a reduction in the cost of their homeowner's insurance coverage.



Warranty: Metal roofs constantly come with a 50 year (or more) service warranty.



Fire score: Metal roofs have the greatest fire score (Class A) as they are extremely resilient and non-combustible. Metal roofs provide one of the most security against fire of any roofing product.



No snow leakages: Snow is known for moving off metal roofs when temperature levels reach 40 degrees Fahrenheit.



Make certain to have your metal roof installed by a qualified Florence roofing professional who has plenty experience in dealing with metal roofing.

Quality Claims Assistance Services

Quality Claims Assistance Services

Florence Roofing Consultants has been working with insurance companies for a long time. We know how to help them process a claim efficiently and properly.



This is a general guideline when it comes to working with your insurance company:



Contact Florence Roofing Consultants to schedule a free on-site evaluation to determine if damage occurred and to what extent



If damage has been verified contact your insurance agent to request an inspection.



Your agent can then authorize any temporary repairs that are necessary to prevent any further damage to your property.



Your company will request receipts for any emergency repairs that are done in order to reimburse you correctly.



Be sure to take pictures of any damage that occurred prior to any repairs



Once an inspection has been completed, a claim sheet will be provided outlining the scope of damage and the funds that will be made available for the damage



Florence Roofing Consultations offers free insurance claims assistance



The Insurance Claims Process




  • After damage has been verified, contact your agent

  • You should be contacted by the claims department by telephone or mail

  • An adjuster will be assigned to inspect and evaluate the loss

  • The claims adjuster should provide you with an itemized explanation on your claim settlement including your deductible amount and depreciation



Most homeowner policies grant coverage for full replacement cost provided the repairs are actually completed. In these cases, the depreciation is deemed recoverable and the final payment is made after your receipts have been submitted and processed.



NOTE: All carriers have their own method of processing claims. This is just a general guideline.

Residential Wood Roofing Experts

Residential Wood Roofing Experts

There are two types of wood roofing systems. There are cedar shakes and cedar shingles. The biggest difference between the shingles is the irregularity of the shakes. Cedar shingles are cut the same width and same thickness and are uniform across a roof. Cedar shakes tend to be installed with different thicknesses and widths.



Fire Retardant Treated Roofing

Fire retardant cedar shakes and shingles can be used as an affordable and efficient alternative in many areas where the building code requires flame-resistant roofing materials.There are three different classes for fire treatment roofing systems available

Wind



Cedar shakes and shingles are the most durable roofing materials available on the market today. Western Red Cedar's natural ability to flex allows it to withstand some of the harshest weather conditions in the world: areas such as Oregon, British Columbia, and Alaska.



Wind tests, conducted by the shake and shingle association stated that cedar roofing materials can withstand winds up to 130mph.



Insulation Value



Due to cedar's natural high “R” rating (resilience to heat conductivity) your home will be cooler in the hottest summer, saving you money your energy bill. Cedar can also withstand freezing temperatures and will keep your home warm and dry in the winter. So you are guaranteed low energy bills due to the insulation value from the cedar roofing system.



Longevity



Factory pressure impregnated treatment can extend the longevity of the roofing system. The treatment of preservatives can protect the roof from fungal decay. Material warranties on the treatments are available from the treatment manufacturers.
