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.

Homeowners Should Ask for an Estimate in Writing

Roof estimates are sometimes a headache for homeowners to ask for, but a necessary part of replacing or repairing a roof. After all, repairing a roof or installing a new roof is not an inexpensive venture, and homeowners want to be sure they know what they are getting for the money they are charged. Having a roofer look at your roof and throw around numbers is one way to go about hiring reliable roof contractors, but it sure won’t keep you from being swindled out of hard-earned money. In fact, when you call roofing companies and say repair my roof, or replace my damaged roof, and they offer estimates, homeowners should make sure to know what should be included in the estimate to ensure they aren’t being taken advantage of, and they get the roof they deserve.

Roof estimates are an important part of finding trustworthy roof installers, but only the best roofers will offer written roof estimates. When fly-by-night roofers come to your door and say they will repair your roof or install a new roof for some amount of money, without offering a written estimate, you should shut the door firmly and not look back. Reputable roofing companies such as DFW Best Roofing offer written estimates for the homeowner to make a decisions.

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.

Nailgun or Handnail Your Roof?

We offer hand nailed roofs as an upgrade call us at 8173816855... Nailguns are a great tool if they are used properly. The problem is they are often times used in a wreckless and incompetent manner. The most common issue with nailgun installation is improper fastening techniques. The nails are either overdriven, underdriven, driven in at an angle and or are just placed in the wrong place. Climate conditions also play a major role in the use of nailguns. Too cold and the nailguns shatters the shingle, which may result in nails blowing through to the wood. Too hot and the nails go all the way through the shingle and aren’t attached to the shingle at all. Nailguns also are unable to adjust their own pressure to compensate for these factors. Inexperience, incompetence and negligence are probably the biggest cause for concern when it comes to the use of nailguns. Before the nailgun came on the scene, roofs were installed by hand, meaning all nails were driven with a hammer or hachet. It normally took six months to a year for a laborer to become a competent shingle installer that could install enough shingles to be profitable. Now all you have to do is be able to do is pull the trigger of a nailgun. Employers demands also play a major factor in this issue as well as home owners demand for the best price, thereby putting pressure on the installers to get as much done in as little time as possible. Some contractors and installers just don’t care about the integrity of their work.
