If you need a permanent replacement for your leaky roof, want to lower your energy and maintenance costs, or are simply looking to enhance the curb appeal of your home, residential metal roofing options are the perfect solution. With benefits ranging from low maintenance to energy efficiency, metal is the foremost roofing material in the industry.
Residential metal roofing is recognized for its durability and resistance to harsh weather, providing increased protection for your home against wind, hail, and fire. Metal roofing adds curb appeal to the aesthetic of your home.
Slate Tile or Tile Roofing:
If you want superior aesthetics for your home, choose clay or concrete roof tile. The numerous styles, hundreds of colors, and variety of finishes available with roof tile allow you to create a roof to suit virtually any architectural style or one that is entirely unique.
Clay roof tile has been used for centuries worldwide. Both clay roof tile and its modern partner, concrete, are beautiful and extremely durable. Tile roofs can last 50 to 100 years or more. They do not rot in wet climates and are not susceptible to destruction by pests. They can be used in any climate or region and can withstand the most severe weather conditions, including fire and wind. Most roof tile manufacturers offer warranties of at least 50 years.
Roof tiles are energy efficient: because of the superior thermal capacity of roof tiles and the ventilated air space that their placement on the roof surface creates, a tile roof can lower air conditioning costs in hotter climates and produce more constant temperatures in colder weather.
Composite Asphalt Shingles:
Asphalt shingles come in two forms: organic and fiberglass (also known as glass fiber). Organic asphalt shingles have a paper mat or backing with a layer of asphalt added on top. Fiberglass asphalt shingles contain a mat made of fiberglass with a layer of asphalt added on top.Composition shingles are made from materials such as asphalt or asbestos, tar paper, slate, shake, laminate and wood. The combination of these ingredients improves the shingle’s strength.
Asphalt shingles can carry warranties ranging from five to 20 years, depending on the shingle’s strength rating. Composite shingles, however, are usually warranted for 30 to 50 years. Mitchell Roofing specializes in the installation of Owens Corning Duration ™ shingles, which carry a lifetime warranty, and warranties its own lifetime labor warranty.
Asphalt shingles may be made with granules containing leachable copper. This helps to resist algae growth. Composite shingles have algae and moss inhibitors and can also be coated to protect against ultraviolet light. This reduces weathering from the sun that can cause the fading and cracking. Composition shingles are also available in almost any color and size. They can include faux finishes such as slate and shake. Composite shingles are the least expensive option, compared to metal, tile and slate roofs.
Modified Roof Systems:
Modified roof systems are asphalt based and provide superior waterproofing characteristics. The typical life span for these systems is about 10 to 20 years. Modified Bitumen roofs are usually installed as a two ply system and are always fully adhered. These roof systems are made up of asphalt that has been modified with a polymer to create plastic or rubber like properties. The modifiers provide increased resistance to brittleness, cold temperatures and increased elasticity and strength.
The most common modifiers are APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene).
