If we didn't sell metal roofing - we'd sell green roofs!

One of my favorite products is our line of diamond-shaped metal roofing shingles. It's a style of metal roofing that has been used for centuries on prominent buildings. The shape also enjoyed some popularity in the early 20th century made from painted asbestos roofing shingles.

We promised a blog post about metal roofs that look like copper roofs, so let's begin. A metal roof that looks like copper isn't an unusual request, one that's usually prompted by keeping costs down. Fortunately, there are a number of options available for those seeking copper roofs on a budget.

The current economic climate notwithstanding, people are going to continue to need roofs. And if it's at all possible, a metal roof is still your best bet despite the higher initial cost. Over time, your investment will pay for itself again and again. At the very least, you should explore your re-roofing options with metal before slapping the same old comp shingles on your roof again - the very ones that will require patching and/or replacement far too quickly.

Installing solar panels on a roof is a very popular trend - and growing in popularity. One of the most overlooked aspects of this type of upgrade to a home or business is the type of roof material over which the new solar panels will be installed. Does it make sense to anyone to attach an expensive, hi-tech solar collection system to a roof that won't last as long as the panels? I can't imagine anyone answering that question positively, but I see it all the time. Bad enough that some solar panel installations are installed on new roofs with a proven poor track record (asphalt composition, anyone?), but it has to be even less rational to install a new solar system on an older roof that isn't far from the end of its service life.
