All-Star Roofing Systems provides business and homeowners premium Champions Forest metal roofing. Metal roofs offer clients a slew of advantages, unlike asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing material in the United States. Unfortunately, this roofing type has numerous drawbacks.
All-Star Roofing Systems provides premier metal roofing solutions for residential and commercial clients. We are capable of providing roof repairs, roof replacement, and roof inspections. Our roofing products are backed up by warranties and are only made from high-quality materials.
Our roofing company was established in 1965, which means we have more than 50 years of experience. That is a significant amount of experience. Experience matters the most when it comes to metal roofs. One minor drawback of metal roofs is it takes an expert to install them. Well, All-Star Roofing Systems is certainly the expert in installing metal roofs.
Metal roofing can appear as sheets or shingles.
All-Star Roofing Systems is dedicated to providing the best roofing solutions for home and business owners. The way we meet that goal is to offer a variety of premium metal roofs. We have three types of roofs clients can choose from: steel, aluminum, and standing seam. All-Star Roofing Systems stands behind the advantages of metal roofing for a number of reasons.
The Problem with Asphalt Shingles
There are glaring problems with asphalt shingles. Even though they are the most popular roofing material in America, they do have many benefits other than a lower price tag. Other than that, asphalt shingles have some big problems for home and business owners.
Firstly, asphalt shingles only last about 15 years. It is possible for them to last for up to 20 years, but that is very unlikely. Their short lifespan is primarily due to their interaction with the weather. However, another major problem arises with the lifespan of asphalt shingles. Most homeowners should only have to replace their home’s roof once in their lifetime. Since asphalt shingles only last about 15 years, they could easily require a second replacement at the cost of the homeowner.
Secondly, asphalt shingles do not interact well with the elements. Houston is known to be battered with tropical storms and hurricanes. These climate factors bring heavy rain and strong winds. Strong winds are detrimental to shingles. They can easily rip them off or change their alignment on your roof.
Protect your home from the elements with premium metal roofing.
Rain may also seep into these exposed areas of your roof. Leaks will appear. In addition to leaks, the rain will soak into vital parts of your home. Moisture paired with humidity is a breeding ground for mold and mildew. These problems can cause air quality problems as well as structural integrity problems. Eventually, you will have to spend more money on fixing parts of your home and the roof.
The heat causes more problems than just mold and mildew. Asphalt shingles absorb heat, which then warms your house. In turn, your AC must run longer to cool your entire home. In conclusion, you will spend more money on keeping your home cool.
Defense Against the Elements
Metal is a better roofing material than asphalt in a number of ways. Even though metal is more expensive, the investment is certainly worth it. Plus, you will save money from metal roofing than you would with asphalt shingles.
The biggest benefit of metal for a roof is the resistance to the elements. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal can withstand wind speeds up to 120 miles per hour. This is significant in the Greater Houston area because the area often sees tropical storms and hurricanes. These storms bring very strong winds that would easily rip off asphalt shingles.
The wind is not the only great resistance metal has. It is also great at withstanding the heat and rain. Metal roofing will repel heat away from your home rather than absorb it. With that said, you can easily keep your house cool, and your energy bill will stay the same or improve.
Additional Benefits
Standing seam roofing has its own extra benefits for home and business owners.
Since metal roofing is highly durable against the weather, it provides home and business owners with a longer lifespan. The average metal roof lasts up to 50 years. Some metal roofs can last up to 70, but it varies on the climate. Fifty years is significantly more than asphalt shingles. When you purchase metal roofing from All-Star Roofing Systems, you will get a 40-year warranty. This warranty will even transfer to the new homeowners if you ever move.
Metal roofing is also safer than asphalt shingles. Asphalt is flammable, so a lightning strike or an outside fire could easily ignite it. Metal roofs do not catch on fire and actually help prevent the home from igniting. It is not guaranteed prevention, but it certainly helps the house’s defense. The roof has no effect if the fire comes from within the home.
Another great benefit of metal roofing is its installation process. Since metal roofing can be installed in sheets or even shingles, it is often easier to install. Steel shingles are surprisingly lighter than asphalt shingles, so the installation process can go much faster. Subsequently, since your installation process goes faster, you save even more money.
Finally, the last biggest benefit of metal roofing is its environmentally friendly position. Asphalt shingles are byproducts of petroleum, so once they are used, they cannot be recycled. When it comes to steel, it the number one most recycled material in the United States. This means your steel roof has some percentage of recycled material. Then, once your roof has reached the end of its life, it can be recycled into another steel product.
