ANSWER:
Why Don't You Install Asphalt/Fiberglass/Composite Products?
ANSWER:
It's no secret, most Floridians consider their home(s) to be their most valuable asset. That's why it is becoming more and more important to protect your investment with materials that not only meet your economic requirements, but are more durable, energy efficient, and last longer than other roofing materials.
Members of The American Society of Home Inspectors list 10 reasons roofs fail: Blistering, Open Laps, Splitting, Punctures, Penetrations, Wrinkles, Improper Flashing, Weathered Surfaces, Fasteners, Improper Maintenance.
Out of these 10, only Improper Flashing, Fasteners, and Improper Maintenance pertain to metal roofing products. The remainder address asphalt, fiberglass or wood products.
When the amount of asphalt was significantly reduced in the making of composite shingles from "oil shortages" years ago,
Hamby Construction & Roofing saw the potential for them to need replacing in a short period of time which was good for Manufacturers but not the financial interest of the majority of consumers not to mention the reputation of contractors when
a product began to fail in as little as 5 years as shown in the photos below. For these reasons, metal roofing panels and stone coated shingles became their products of choice with literally hundreds of happy clients.
The easiest way to explain how tab shingles are holding up under the Florida sun and other natural elements, is to imagine being put in a microwave. It's that simple. The interior of this home experienced water damage leading to mold growth and with new owners, is now a
show place vs an eye sore.
