High Quality Metal Roofing Materials
Why We No Longer Install Composite Roofing Products In Florida
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 construction materials that not only meet your economic requirements, but are more durable, are energy efficient, and last longer than other roofing materials like composite shingles that we previously installed years ago.
Members of the American Society of Home Inspectors list 10 reasons roofs fail: Blistering, Open Laps, Splitting, Punctures, Penetrations, Wrinkles, Improper Flashings, Surfacing, Fasteners, and Abuse and or Neglect.
Out of these 10, only Improper Flashing, Fasteners, and Abuse and/or Neglect pertain to metal roofing products. The remainder address asphalt, fiberglass or wood products. The three reasons pertaining to roof failure that apply to metal roofs are strictly related to improper installation and owner maintenance factors versus simple material failure.
Since the amount of asphalt has been reduced in the making of asphalt and fiberglass roofing materials in recent years, the potential for them to become brittle in a shorter period of time due primarily to exposure to the Florida sun should be expected. For this reason, Hamby Construction & Roofing, Inc. no longer installs composite roofing materials and uses only the highest quality metal roofing materials in their roofing and construction projects to ensure your investment lasts a lifetime.
