FAQs

What are the benefits of choosing metal roofing over traditional shingles?

Metal roofing offers numerous benefits over traditional shingles. It is incredibly durable, often lasting 40-70 years compared to the 20-30 years for asphalt shingles. Metal roofs are also highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, heavy rain, and snow, which makes them especially suitable for the varying climate in Newcomb. Additionally, metal roofing is energy-efficient, reflecting solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%. These roofs are also eco-friendly, as they are often made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of their lifespan.

How noisy is a metal roof during rain or hail storms?

Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not significantly noisier than other roofing types when installed properly. Modern metal roofing systems are often installed over a solid sheathing and underlayment, which helps to dampen the sound. The added insulation between the metal roof and the structure of the home helps to minimize any noise from rain or hail, often making it no louder than a standard asphalt shingle roof.

How does metal roofing perform in snowy or icy conditions?

Metal roofing excels in snowy and icy conditions. Its sleek surface allows snow and ice to slide off more easily than other types of roofing, thereby reducing the risk of ice dams forming. This characteristic not only helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the roof but also ensures enhanced safety by preventing heavy snow or ice buildup. Additionally, metal roofs can support snow guards to control snow shedding and protect areas below.

Is metal roofing more expensive than other roofing options?

While the initial cost of metal roofing can be higher than traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles, it's important to consider the long-term savings. Metal roofs are extremely durable and require fewer repairs and replacements over their lifespan, which can lead to lower overall maintenance costs. Additionally, the energy efficiency of metal roofing can result in reduced utility bills, contributing to overall savings. Therefore, while the upfront investment may be larger, metal roofing often provides better value over time.

Can a metal roof be installed over my existing roof?

Yes, in many cases, a metal roof can be installed over an existing roof without the need for tearing off the old roof. This process is known as a 'retrofit' and can save time and money on labor costs associated with removal. However, it's essential to have a professional inspection to ensure the existing roof structure can support the additional weight and that local building codes are followed.

Do metal roofs attract lightning, and are they safe during storms?

There is a common misconception that metal roofs attract lightning, but this is not true. Metal roofing does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. In fact, metal roofing can be safer during storms because it is non-combustible and can dissipate the electrical charge if struck, reducing the chance of a fire. Additionally, metal roofs are grounded and can serve as a direct pathway to the ground for any lightning strike, enhancing overall safety.

What our customers say

I have used HEP for my roofing needs. The employees are professional, courteous and straight shooters. I have also had my electrical, HVAC and plumbing system inspected by HEP. I would highly recommend this service.

Tommy Fitzgerald and Jason Tew performed a roof inspection at my house. They were on time, courteous, friendly and respectful. More importantly they took pictures of my roof and explained each slide to me. I so appreciate their time!

Jen R.

I had a roof inspection today with HEP and I can't recommend this company enough! The representative, Jason, was extremely professional and courteous. After the inspections he walked me through his findings and at NO point did I feel I was being "up sold". We've had a number of projects done to our home recently and after speaking with so many different contractors and getting various quotes on "necessary" work it was refreshing to speak with someone who wasn't trying to take advantage of me. I will definitely be using HEP for future projects and recommend them to anyone doing any work on their home.

After a great inspection yesterday HEP got us on the books for the next day. They were in and out in 3 hours and were very very kind!

Christian Jordan came out to quote our home for a roof replacement, and didn't hesitate to walk around on our 26 year old roof. Unfortunately, my credit score prevented me from being able to have the roof replaced, but Christian went ahead and put a tarp on the leaking side at no cost. Hopefully in the future, I'll be better off financially, and will be able to call Christian to come back out for the replacement. Excellent service!! Very polite, quick, and helpful.

Chris did a great job! He came out in the middle of a rain storm and after hours to do the inspection on my unit. He made sure I understood what he did and why he did it. I really appreciate him taking the time to explain it to me. The whole process with HEP has been great!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Josh, who came out to do our quality control inspection. My wife and I were very pleased with his thoroughness in making sure that even though everything was running well, he wanted to make sure that everything was up to his exacting standards.
