    I did a metal roof 17 years ago in Las Vegas, a Spanish Tile look, Here’s another Great advantage besides the weight. There’s a coating underneath that dissipates the Heat, and you know how Hot it gets in Vegas. During the summer you can’t touch that clay tile and it holds the Heat. If it’s 110 degrees during the day at 2:00 in the morning it’s still 101, that’s Why you’re running the AC 24/7. I could touch the metal roof without smelling my skin burn. I swear the attic was 35-40 degrees cooler

    I've had a similar metal roof that's matte dark grey for 9 years. It still looks new! My house was built in 1904 and some moron nailed through the original slate roof while they were putting on a crappy asphalt roof. We wanted to get back the Victorian look and it is awesome.

    I've had a metal roof like this since 2009 in the Northeast and it handles hail, trees, ice and snow beautifully. Finish is still amazing, and I get compliments all the time. We used "Interlock" brand, which may be a northeast name for a broadly available product. It looks a lot like the stuff Matt is installing.

    Matt you should check out Decra too we had one installed 5 or so years ago we absolutely love it, it looks like a shingled roof and I don't think anyone would know either. Down side we were the first in the south to have one so they say, I think if memory serves they do more out towards California, the first installer messed it up and it had some leaks. Decra stepped up and got someone out here and did a beautiful job with no charge to us. I can't remember the wind ratings but I remember it was pretty high compared to normal roofing when I looked it up also has a 50 year warranty, this is all from memory. To date we have been through hail and a few hurricanes with 20in+ of rain in a day with zero problems. I think it was rated to 2" hail with no damage.

      I like the look of the Decra product, but the installed cost is about 4x that of 30-year asphalt and 3x 50-year asphalt. Personally, I REALLY want to get a way from asphalt on my house, but a $80K roof on a 3000 sf ranch house (45 degree pitch) is just too expensive!

  • @danielfronc4304
    @danielfronc4304 4 года назад +35

    To get to the point quickly, if you want a truly long lasting roof just invest in one roof which won't ever rust or decompose, ie. a slate roof. My parents cape cod style house has had a slate roof for 73 years without a leak. The house was built by the builder of all the homes on the street for his daughter's family so everything was top quality. The only problem that rarely occurs is the steel roofing nails rusting through and the piece of slate falls down into the gutter undamaged. You just re-nail it in place. In 73 years no more than a dozen shingles have had to be re-nailed in place. You pay extra up front for slate shingles but then can totally forget about the roof. I've seen slate roofed homes which were demo'd and the slates were carefully removed for re-use on another home. They're quite the win-win choice.

    • @dennisfernau8076

      The problem is. American's own a house for an average of 7 years before they move on to something else. Unless you are talking a high end house, likely not a good investment and when the rubber meets the road, will likely not make the house worth much if any more. In Europe and countries like Germany where they have houses that stay in the family for multiple generations. We spoiled American's get tired with things too quickly, throw it aside and move to something different. Sad, but true.

      @spencerwilton5831 4 года назад +6

      Dennis Fernau Actually Europeans tend to move house almost as frequently. It's just that slate and tile are expected here. Houses don't command a premium because of it, but a house with an alternative roof will certainly be less saleable. The thing about slate and tile, is that they last indefinitely and we prefer the reassurance that we won't have to replace the roof within a few years of moving in.

      I've heard of them as well as stone coated metal roofs that look like asphalt but haven't used any.
      It's just that people don't really go to these products due to their cost.
      It's already rare enough to see presidential shingles and they are expensive. GAF Glenwood is already very expensive, Home Depot sells it at around $36 a bundle and it takes 9 bundles a square. That's $324 a square while Owens Corning Duration Storm is only around $120-$140 a Square.

    I put on a metal roof over 20 years ago when living in California. Much lighter roof than the previous cedar shake roof (especially when wet). Because the roof loading is less, it is more effective in preventing earthquake damage on the building structure. A second advantage, a metal roof is far more effective from external fire damage. The only negative aspect is that TV antennas in the attic no longer worked....

    • @orlandotourist4302
      @orlandotourist4302 4 года назад +1

      Interesting Keith. But now nobody cares about TV antennas anymore. So now with these new designs the appeal is substantial. I wonder how easy it is to keep cool in this house. I had new build home in CA that had beautiful concrete shingle tiles and at about 1pm every night the horrible heat would radiate through the house like an easy bake oven and you would sweat in bed if you didn't have the AC on and I wasn't comfortable having the windows open in CA. It was incredible how hot this roof made the house. I installed a whole house fan to deal with this problem. It was great but whenever you didn't have it running the house would again heat up and bake even though it had next level high rated insulation and had an energy star certification. Another draw back to the wonderful fresh air from the whole house fan is it also brought in dust into the house.

      @@orlandotourist4302 That's not entirely true. Lots of people who live outside of urban areas still care very much about TV antenna signals, as they frequently don't have Cable TV in their areas, and also don't have sufficient internet capacity to rely on streaming video services. My parents are one example, and we're still up in the northeast where even "rural" isn't that secluded. I'd imagine the issue only gets worse as you get out into the midwest.

    In northern climates that get a lot of snow there is a problem with large sheets of snow/ice sliding off the roof all at once. This happened to a neighbor where the ice chunk busted his AC condenser. There are these spikes or blocks that need to be installed around the lower side of the roof to prevent this. Please do a video explaining this.

    This is a lovely look, especially for houses made of cracked stone or even cracked concrete block. I'd put this on a commercial building of such block, using a Mansard design.
    I have experimented personally with radiant barrier, and glass films, on property I own, to great success in southern California where the sun really bears down. A radiant barrier needs to be shiny, to work, on at least one side, and that's the side that needs an air gap. (A vacuum gap would be even better, but that's impossible.) I doubt this roof will serve that purpose, with its lack of sheen and that mesh beneath; the heat can conduct via the mesh, to the sub-roof, and then radiate into the attic. So that attic might not be such a conditioned space, when it's all done.
    I hope there is follow up, with temperature readings ... sans HVAC assist.

    Homeowner here. I've installed a metal roof by myself (50 yr warranty) and it took a bit of work (I'm a perfectionist) and it turned out great. Air gap helps keep things cooler. Insulating foam helps. It does take a bit of training, and mine was a different style with more dimension to it. Very walkable on the front edge that bent down to the next level down. Prep is CRITICAL for straight lines. There's no forgiveness and sloppiness here! Valleys take extra work for a tight fit. Some metal bending and cutting needed. Yes it cost extra, but I didn't have to retrofit the house for extra weight. I had cedar shingles before with skip sheathing.

    Looks great. I wonder if there is an impact on cellular reception. Not generally the first thing you consider with roofing material selection. However, my in-laws have a heavy, steel “terracotta-look” roof. Cellular reception is heavily impacted in their home. You’d have to step outside to take a call or be near windows to get a better signal. We ended up installing an internal cellular transmitter to address the issue. And more recently with newer technology, we use wifi calling. Guess I’ve answered my own question is some ways.

    A couple of thoughts.
    1. Is a painted metal shingle still considered a barrier to radiant heat? I understand how galvanized steel will reflect a large portion of radiant heat, but painted steel gets just as hot a asphalt shingles in the sun it seems.
    2. I can't see this being more hail resistant than decent asphalt shingles. Hit both with a plastic faced hammer a few times an see which one gets damaged more easily. I'd bet it's the steel. These may be more wind resistant if they bottom edge ties into the row below it though.

    I have had a similar product on a roof in Oklahoma and a hail storm dented the heck out of it. Looked like someone beat it with a ball peen hammer. Luckily it was a rental for me and the rental policy didn’t have the cosmetic damage exclusion. So we replaced it with UL2218 Class 4 impact resistant shingles and cut our insurance in half. If it had been a home owner policy they would have had the exclusion that doesn’t cover cosmetic damage and I would have been stuck with a dented roof. Matt is off with his description of impact resistance. Sure, it will hold up but look like crap after a decent hail storm.

      Metal roofs are very durable but after a hailstorm it will be no different than a car body.

      @bryanmartinez6600 5 лет назад +3

      There are 2 that I know of
      Boral Granite Ridge and
      Decra shingle XD
      The thing is they cost several times more than normal shingles but can actually last a lifetime unlike shingles in my opinion.
      Have never done an install of them because of how expensive and shingles are common and more affordable. A good shingle is Owen's Corning Duration Storm

      Usually when you go to a higher end roof, your trying to get away from that cheap asphalt look. Typically your trying to simulate shake, tile, stone roofs.

    Does the metal shingle heat up in the sun like asphalt shingles do? Is there a shingle that does not get hot or reflects the heat? I guess the air gap should help, but would love it if the shingles did not get hot.

      I understand. A good quality asphalt roof should be able to last 20-25 years at least. And don't forget that the average American has less than $1,000 in savings.

  • @michaeljazdzyk474

    Lots of choices for roof coverings. They all have good and bad. Pick the one you like and get the best installer you can find. That being said, nothing better than slate for steep slope roofing. The longevity of slate is key to its value in the eyes of homeowners. After all, roofing can be expensive. Slate is one of the few roofing options that doesn't need to be replaced within the span of a lifetime. In most environments, slate shingles will last at least 125 years and sometimes as long as 200 years.

      Garrard and Sierra stone-coated steel (invented in Australia, 30 years ago) are pinned in the front. In the College Hills, Glendale CA fires of ~1990 (my home town, and near where I grew up), caused by notorious arsonist John Orr on a Santa-Ana wind day, the only houses left standing were those with stone-coated steel roofs. Clay tiles are pinned in the back and they blew off, rendering their advertised fire resistance useless.

      Some of us guys from church went to put a tarp on an elderly lady's house after a tornado and she had a metal shingle roof. The only place where there was any shingle damage was where trees punctured holes in the roof, none were lifted. The house was an older concrete block home and other than the tree damage the home was fine. Across the highway where the tornado was confirmed to be an FROM all the homes were leveled.

Also, last I checked, cost was about 3 times the cost of asphalt shingles. I still highly recommend them.....he fails to mention this is a roofing system, it nearly all locks together.
