Violent Winds Tearing Off Your Roof? Upgrade to Metal Roofing!

damaged asphalt shinglesNorthern Nevada is known for its howling wind storms, and yesterday was no exception. Mother Nature threw 60 mph gusts for hours, and that means people today are dealing with blown-over fences, branches knocked off trees and roofs ripped into shreds. So is there a roof that can withstand this kind of violence? You bet.

Unlike asphalt roofs that rely on a rapidly decaying adhesive to hold one layer to the next - a material that deteriorates when exposed to heat and sun - metal roofs are mechanically fastened, meaning there's no glue to fail.

That means attachment is more secure than any other type of material you could choose. This type of installation also means our beautiful metal roofs can typically be installed right over existing roofing material, which is an added little bonus that saves time, money and waste. Another benefit? While asphalt shingle warranties all stop covering wind damage after just a few years, our metal roof warranties include wind damage for the entire warranty period - which can be up to 50 years.damaged concrete shake
