Metal Roofing in Decatur, GA
A long-lived roof that sheds rain and resists wind, installed carefully and recommended only where it makes sense.
The Honest Case for and Against Metal
Homeowners sometimes call us already set on metal, and sometimes call hoping we will talk them out of it. Either way, our answer starts with the house itself. Metal roofs cost more at the outset than shingles. In return they offer a long service life, strong resistance to wind, quick shedding of rain and leaves, and finishes that can reflect a good share of summer heat. On a simple gable roof with long, uninterrupted slopes, those benefits come at a fair price. On a roof crowded with valleys, dormers and short runs, the trim and labor add up quickly, and a quality shingle may be the wiser choice. At the free inspection we size up the layout, pitch and decking and give you our candid view. If metal is the right path, we install it the way the panel maker designed: high-temperature underlayment, closures at the ridge and eaves to keep out wind-driven rain, matched trim along every edge and fasteners tightened just enough to compress their washers without splitting them. Cut pieces and screws are collected daily, and a magnetic sweep closes out the job.
