We thrive on honest hard working employees seeing how they are most likely completing jobs inside or outside customers home. We except check or cash but no credit yet. I have 4 part time employees and 2 full time employees. We are not contracted with other companies but I know several people that work in multiple areas for great referals.

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

A 26-gauge metal roof panel can span between 4 and 8 feet, depending on a few factors. Local building codes dictate what’s appropriate for panel span, but these are normally based on expected snow loads. Additionally, the type of metal roof you choose will affect the maximum span, as corrugated metal is stronger than flat standing seam panels or a screw down roof and can often span greater distances.

Copper roofing works well in all kinds of climates, but it’s ideal in humid climates because it naturally repels fungus, moss, and algae. This makes it one of the best roofing options for Cape Cod homes in the Northeast, as well as homes in the humid southern states and snowy northern states. That said, copper is vulnerable to thermal expansion. If you live in a climate that has extreme temperature changes, your contractor will need to consider this during the installation process.

The green coloration that develops on copper roofs is called a “patina,” and it’s a result of mild oxidation on the surface. The oxidation process is not harmful to your roof. In fact, the surface corrosion acts as a protective layer and won’t spread to the core of your copper roof materials. The discoloration will progress much more quickly in damp or humid climates than it will in dry climates. If you don’t like the green color, you can seal your roof to preserve the shiny, rose-gold look.

In the metal versus shingle roof debate, aluminum roofing has several advantages. However, aluminum roofing costs more than typical asphalt roofing, so up-front cost is a major downside. Aluminum is also somewhat susceptible to denting, and repairs can be more costly than for other roof types because your roofer will need to replace large panels rather than individual shingles. Aluminum roofs are also noisy in the rain, which some homeowners don’t like.

Metal roofs often benefit from snow guards because the slick surface can lead to snow avalanches off of your roof, potentially damaging cars or personal property below and putting your family at risk of injury. Low-slope metal roofs may not require snow guards if your area doesn’t see heavy snow accumulation, but it’s a good idea to install them for security.
