Get a Metal Roof At No Cost For Your 1% Deductible

Well meaning sales people go door to door, giving the same basic pitch.  To replace you roof at no cost to the home owner, for a trade of the deductible for a sign in the yard.  True, there are some variances to this story.  Most roofing companies are well meaning, and most sales people deliver what they promise.
What can our company do to really add value and be different?  There are few things we have developed that make us different, but one the most important ones is that we offer a metal roof, for anyone who has a 1% deductible with an approved claim.
Even among all the metal roofs, there are many choices.  We will go over these choices.  A metal roof will save your energy bill, it will save your insurance costs when you let them know you got a metal roof (What an upgrade), it will get you tax credits, etc.

Matterhorn Metal Roofing Coming To Dallas, Fort Worth Area ---- Why Matterhorn is a serious consideration for metal roofing.

There are many metal roofing options, from Decra, Metal Works by Tamko to meridian by McElroy Metal.  All of them very good choices.  However, now starting January 2014 Matterhorn Metal Roofing will be part of the competition here in the Dallas Forth Worth Area.  It's too early to do a cost analysis.  It is expected to be around the standard metal prices.  They come in four profiles

Shake

Tile

Shingles

Standing Seam

In the Dallas Fort Worth (dfw) area they are starting with the tile profile.  You can visit the website at http://matterhornmetalroofing.com.

This is what the Matterhorn metal offers



Steel is not only a beautiful roofing choice, but a very logical one. Many will find that the return on investment of metal roofing can justify the cost of the valuable raw material--- that will always have intrinsic value, on and off the roof.. Given the long life of a steel roof, the investment usually averages out over time to be less costly than other materials, that have to be installed over and over again..
Apart from the savings associated with a metal roof’s long life, metal roofing can also allow other savings.. Energy savings related to a cool metal roof should be factored into ROI. Tax credits are even available for green building programs and the EPA’s Energy Star programs. Home owner’s insurance rates are lower for metal roofs, which should also be considered over the lifetime of the roof.
Steel is a unique roofing choice in that, when its life as a roof is complete, the material will still have value and may even be reusable for a different purpose, or at least recyclable. In general, the cost of metals tends to increase, so the value of the raw materials used in a steel roof also tends to increase. A metal roof not only lasts – it has lasting and intrinsic value.
Anyone interested in a long-term energy efficient roofing system, that will increase in value over time should consider metal roofing, and Matterhorn is definitely a serious consideration when it comes to the over all benefits of roofing.

Metal Over Existing Shingles

On an existing home, the metal roof can be applied over the existing roof. The metal roofing prices are reduced because the homeowner does not need to have the current roofing material removed, a time-consuming and often expensive project. The lightweight nature of metal makes it easily portable, reducing transportation costs. When metal roofs are used on new construction, they are ordered by the piece, cutting back on waste material and allowing sheets to be cut to exact lengths. One of the reasons that metal roofing prices are higher is because the materials cost more to obtain. In addition, the installation process is very technically involved. Installers must possess special skills and have undergone training specific to the type of metal roofing system that is being used. Many more hours of tedious work are required to install a metal roof than are needed for an asphalt roof. It takes between two and three times longer to install a roof made from metal.
