"McDaniel Roofing did an excellent job of replacing our roof. Richard McDaniel was very friendly and courteous and so were the crew that did the work. Richard also did an excellent job of keeping up with the job and keeping us informed throughout the process. The crew did a good job of cleaning up when the job was completed."

"The technician was on time. He was very polite. I showed him where the roof was leaking and he said he would inspect that area and the rest of the roof. He showed me 3 areas that needed attention. He told me he could do the repairs while he was there. I would highly recommend him."

"I hired Victor to reglaze windows on the 2nd floor of a historic home. he was prompt, reasonably priced and cleaned up afterwards. No problems at all, and he replaced a broken pane. I did have some follow on work for him, but after 3 messages, have not received a call back, so need to get someone else."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:

  • Energy Efficiency: Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.

  • Moisture and Condensation Control: The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.

  • Structural Support: They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.

It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.

Metal roofs last for between 50 and 70 years, and asphalt roofs last for between 20 and 25 years, with some lasting as long as 30 years. In most cases, you’ll get double the life or more out of a metal roof than you would from a shingle roof, which helps make the higher cost of a metal roof more manageable.

Architectural shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years. While some manufacturers provide warranties for 30 to 50 years, particularly for extreme weather, achieving such a long lifespan is uncommon. The actual life of your shingles can be shorter if you live in an area prone to strong winds, hailstorms, or other severe weather. To avoid the risk of roof failure and costly water damage from leaks, it is recommended to replace your roof before it reaches the end of its expected life. Scheduling regular roof inspections every few years is a good way to assess your roof's condition and determine the best timeline for replacement.

Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.

When choosing a roofer to install a green roof, look for someone with experience who specializes in green roofs. Rather than looking for a standard roofing contractor, you'll want to find a company that specifically offers green roofs. That company will have people on staff, such as a landscape architect, who understand the types of plants that thrive on rooftops.
