You can trust the pros at Distinctive Metal Roofing to provide you with the right product for your home AND to install it properly. Distinctive Metal Roofing was vetted by Kassel and Irons before we were granted an exclusive dealership of their product in Northern Ohio. Following a careful screening process, we earned sales and installation certifications before we could sell or install a single roofing panel. All other roofing products on the market are sold through building supply houses to anyone that walks in the door.
In addition, metal roofing is ALL WE DO. We’re not a temporary asphalt roofing or construction company that says “yeah, we can do metal roofing.” We’re specialists… we don’t do anything else and our crew is comprised of installers that have a wealth of metal roofing installation experience behind them.
The protection of your family and your house is too important to be placed in the hands of a company that does metal roofing as one of many other things they do. It’s ALL WE DO…trust the metal roofing pros at Distinctive Metal Roofing for a roof you’ll never replace again.
That’s what we heard over and over again at our booth at the Home and Garden Show last week. According to statistics, the national average lifespan for an asphalt shingle is 12 – 15 years (though this includes roofs made before asphalt shingles were composed of more than 50% limestone!). But if you had sat at our booth as long as well did (nearly 100 hours in 9 days!), you’d have heard 100’s of people disgusted with the fact that their roof has failed in less than 9 years. They were disillusioned by their “35 year” roofing warranty when they found out that the warranty was a pro-rated warranty that’s only worth pennies on the dollar after the first 5 years.
While this is nothing new to us, as we see it during our client appointments regularly, next year we’re taking a video camera to record people’s comments about their prematurely failing asphalt roofs so you can hear it for yourselves. But you’re probably already saying the same things since you’re on our Website, right? Steel roofing….the last roof you’ll EVER buy, and it’s carries a NON PRO-RATED WARRANTY for as long as you own your home, transferable for 40 years!
A: They’re a tough algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It tends to grow on the shadier north side of homes.
With today’s higher oil prices, shingle manufacturers have reduced the petroleum content and have replaced it with a record high percentage of limestone filler. 20 years ago, an asphalt shingle only contained 10 – 15% limestone filler. Today, that number is over 50%. Airborne algae LOVES to feed on limestone. The result is not only black streaks much sooner and greater, but also shingles that begin their life very dry and brittle with so much less petroleum in them. Metal roofing does not exhibit this algae streaking at all because steel doesn’t contain limestone.
End your roofing worries for as long as you live in your home and add beauty and value to your home with a Kassel and Irons roof from Distinctive Metal Roofing. You’ll be the envy of your neighbors!
