As a professional contractor, we’ve been working with Georgia homeowners since 1996. In all those years, we’ve encountered projects with all sorts of existing problems. Here, we’ll share 3 ways a metal roof project can go wrong.
3 Ways a Metal Roof Can Go Wrong
The wrong product. Not all metal roofing is equal, and poor quality can be an issue.
- Many metal roofing products have manufacturing defects or are produced with low-grade materials and inferior finishes.
- Sometimes the product used is not right for the architecture of your home, which leads to leaks, damage, and a fair amount of ugly.
- Poor performance in storms, heat, rain, wind, and fire impacts the durability of a metal roof.
The wrong installation. Don’t be fooled by the wrong roofing contractor.
- Often metal roofs are installed lacking consideration of ventilation and attic condition, resulting in an unhealthy home.
- Exposed screws and fasteners can rust and impact the durability and performance of a metal roof.
- Any roof is only as good as its installation, and unqualified installers and roofing contractors abound.
The wrong warranty. Many product warranties don’t protect the investment in your home.
- Many metal roofing warranties are no better than the cheapest roofing products.
- Inferior product manufacturers offer lots of fine print to explain exceptions for shoddy materials and short life.
- Inferior contractors don’t offer workmanship warranties. You need both product and installation warranties.d
