"Metal roof commercial"

Metal Roofs 101 and How to Maintain Them

Did you know metal roofs can last up to 60 years? That’s right; these roofing systems have more than double the life expectancy of a shingle or tile roof. In Florida, metal is always a popular choice because of two reasons. 1st, metal will keep your house cooler, resulting in a 20% reduction in energy costs; and 2nd, metal roofs can withstand wind speeds up to 165 mph with a standard installation and up to 215mph with enhanced systems; hello, hurricane season. Metal roofs are relatively low-maintenance, and you rarely must worry about mildew or mold, as you do with other roofing systems. Plus, they are one of the most fire-resistant options available.

Many metal roofing systems exist, but 5v or Standing Seam are the most popular residential types. 5v metal roofing systems are the more economical choice, as the installation is not as complicated as standing seam systems. 5v systems are more affordable because the fasteners are exposed, meaning you can see the screws. These fasteners go directly through the metal panels, which prevents thermal expansion and contraction. This is one of the key differences between 5v and standing seam systems. It is important to note that both 5v and standing seam systems require regular maintenance. However, since the fasteners are exposed on a 5v system, every 15 years, you will need to have your fasteners inspected by a roofing professional.

Standing seam roofs are known to last longer than 5v metal because they are designed for thermal expansion and contraction, making them more durable and weather resistant than 5v. Because standing seam fasteners (screws) are not exposed, there is less maintenance than a 5v metal roof. Standing seam is a more complex roofing system and installation can take up to a week to complete on standard size buildings. Compared to a 5v metal roof, the complexities and unique features of a standing seam metal roofing system add up, resulting in a higher price tag. For many homeowners, the upfront cost is worth it since these roofs require very little maintenance, and they are designed to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

There you have it, metal roofs 101. If you want to know which roofing system will work best for your home, schedule a free consultation with an expert at All Area Roofing.

Ten Tips to Maintain Your Metal Roof

Maintaining a metal roof is essential for ensuring its longevity and performance. Here are some steps you can take to effectively maintain a metal roof:

  1. Regular Inspections: Conduct visual inspections of your metal roof at least twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall, to check for any signs of damage, rust, loose screws, or debris buildup.
  2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Ensure that gutters and downspouts are clear of debris such as leaves, branches, and dirt. Clogged gutters can cause water to backup and potentially damage your roof.
  3. Remove Debris: Clear any debris such as leaves, branches, or other organic matter that may accumulate on the roof surface. This prevents moisture buildup and potential damage.
  4. Trim Overhanging Branches: Trim back any overhanging branches that could potentially scratch or damage the surface of the metal roof, especially during windy conditions.
  5. Address Rust Spots: If you notice any rust spots on your metal roof, address them promptly to prevent further corrosion. Use a wire brush to remove the rust, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a matching paint to seal the area.
  6. Repair Sealant and Caulking: Check the sealant and caulking around vents, chimneys, skylights, and other roof penetrations. Repair any cracks or gaps to prevent water infiltration.
  7. Check for Loose Fasteners: Inspect the fasteners (screws or nails) holding the metal panels in place. Tighten any loose fasteners to prevent panels from becoming dislodged during high winds.
  8. Prevent Ice Dams: In colder climates, install snow guards or heat cables to prevent the formation of ice dams, which can damage the roof and gutters.
  9. Avoid Walking on the Roof: Minimize foot traffic on the roof to prevent accidental damage to the metal panels. If you need to access the roof for maintenance or repairs, use proper safety precautions and walk only on designated walkways or supports.
  10. Professional Inspection and Maintenance: Consider hiring a professional roofing contractor to perform a thorough inspection and maintenance of your metal roof, especially if you’re not comfortable or equipped to do it yourself.

By following these maintenance tips, you can help prolong the life of your metal roof and ensure that it continues to protect your home or building effectively.

"how to determine you need a new roof"

How to Determine if You Need a New Roof – Your Checklist

Knowing when you need a new roof involves the age of the roof, the condition, leakage and paying attention to various signs of deterioration and damage.  Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20-25 years, while other materials like metal or tile can last longer. If your roof is approaching or past its expected lifespan, it’s worth considering a replacement. Here are ten other signs to determine if you need a new roof:

  1. Curling or Buckling Shingles: Curling, buckling, or cracked shingles indicate that the shingles are reaching the end of their lifespan or are damaged by weathering.
  2. Missing Shingles: If you notice significant areas where shingles are missing, it can leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and water damage.
  3. Leaks or Water Damage: Water stains on ceilings or walls, as well as signs of water infiltration in the attic, indicate roof leaks that need immediate attention.
  4. Moss or Algae Growth: Excessive moss, algae, or mold growth on the roof can indicate moisture retention and potential underlying issues.
  5. Granule Loss: Check your gutters for excessive amounts of granules from asphalt shingles. Granule loss indicates shingle deterioration and can compromise the roof’s effectiveness.
  6. Sagging or Uneven Roof: Sagging areas or dips in the roof’s surface suggest structural issues that require professional inspection.
  7. Damaged Flashing: Damaged or deteriorated flashing around roof penetrations such as chimneys, vents, or skylights can lead to leaks.
  8. Excessive Energy Bills: An old or deteriorating roof can lead to poor insulation and energy inefficiency, resulting in higher heating and cooling costs.
  9. Visible Daylight in the Attic: If you can see daylight coming through cracks or holes in the roof deck from inside the attic, it’s a clear sign of roof damage that needs immediate attention.
  10. Roofing Material Granules in Gutters: Check your gutters for excessive amounts of granules from asphalt shingles. Granule loss indicates shingle deterioration and can compromise the roof’s effectiveness.

Other things to keep in mind

  • Safety Precautions:
    • Wear appropriate safety gear, including non-slip shoes, gloves, and a safety harness if necessary.
    • Ensure the ladder is stable and secured before climbing onto the roof.
    • Be cautious of overhead power lines.
  • Exterior Inspection:
    • Check for any signs of sagging or unevenness in the roof structure.
    • Inspect the condition of the shingles or roofing material. Look for cracks, curling, blistering, or missing shingles.
    • Check for moss, algae, or other vegetation growth, as it can indicate moisture retention.
    • Examine the flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights for signs of damage or deterioration.
    • Inspect the gutters and downspouts for debris or clogs.
  • Interior Inspection (if accessible):
    • Check the attic for signs of water leaks or stains on the underside of the roof decking.
    • Inspect insulation for signs of moisture, mold, or deterioration.
    • Look for any daylight coming through the roof boards, which could indicate gaps or holes.
  • Structural Elements:
    • Inspect the fascia and soffits for signs of rot or damage.
    • Check for any loose or damaged roof decking.
    • Ensure that all vents and exhaust pipes are properly sealed and in good condition.
  • Chimneys and Skylights:
    • Inspect chimney caps and ensure they are securely attached.
    • Check for cracks or gaps in the chimney masonry.
    • Examine skylights for signs of leaks or damage to seals.
  • Flashing and Seals:
    • Inspect all flashing around vents, chimneys, skylights, and other roof penetrations for signs of damage or deterioration.
    • Check seals around vents and pipes for cracks or gaps.
  • Drainage:
    • Ensure that the roof surface is properly sloped to facilitate water drainage.
    • Check for standing water, which can indicate poor drainage or sagging areas.
    • Inspect the condition of roof valleys and ensure they are clear of debris.
  • Gutters and Downspouts:
    • Clean gutters and downspouts of debris, leaves, and other obstructions.
    • Ensure that gutters are securely attached and not pulling away from the roofline.
  • Additional Considerations:
    • Look for signs of animal or pest infestation, such as nests or droppings.
    • Check for signs of hail or storm damage, including dents or punctures in the roofing material.
    • Evaluate the overall condition of the roof and consider factors such as age, wear and tear, and previous repairs.
  • Documentation:
    • Take photos or videos of any areas of concern for reference and documentation.
    • Keep detailed records of your roof inspections, including dates, observations, and any repairs or maintenance performed.

Remember, safety is paramount during roof inspections. If you’re uncomfortable with heights or unsure about conducting an inspection yourself, it’s best to hire a qualified professional to assess your roof’s condition. If you notice any of these signs, it’s advisable to consult with a professional roofing contractor for a thorough inspection. Our Team at All Area Roofing and Construction can assess the condition of your roof and recommend whether repairs or replacement are necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of your home.

Regularly scheduled roof inspections, ideally performed at least once per year, can help identify issues early and prevent costly damage to your home.

My Safe Florida Home Program to Assist Homeowners

About My Safe Florida Home Program:

The My Safe Florida Home program is a grant program in Florida that aims to assist homeowners in making their homes more resilient to hurricanes and other windstorms. This program was launched in 2006 and operated for several years until funds ran out.

Recently the Legislature has authorized DFS to provide a matching grant to eligible homeowners up to $10,000 for the actual cost of qualifying home hurricane mitigation projects. The program will provide $2 in grant funds for every $1 the homeowner provides. Low income grants have been increased from $5,000 to $10,000. The grants assist Floridians in retrofitting their home to harden it against storms and help lower their property insurance premiums through mandatory storm mitigation discounts.

The primary goal of the My Safe Florida Home program continues to be to reduce the vulnerability of homes to wind damage by providing eligible homeowners with free wind inspections and, in some cases, grants to make recommended improvements to enhance the resilience of homes to hurricanes and windstorms by providing financial assistance and resources for homeowners to make specific improvements. The My Safe Florida Home program is part of the state’s efforts to increase overall resilience to hurricanes and reduce potential damage.

Homeowners who qualify for the program could receive a wind inspection to assess the structural integrity of their homes and identify areas where improvements could be made to better withstand high winds.

The key components of the My Safe Florida Home program include:

  1. Free Wind Inspections: Qualified homeowners could receive a free wind inspection conducted by a trained inspector. The inspection assesses various aspects of the home’s construction and provides recommendations for improvements.
  2. Grants for Mitigation Improvements: Based on the inspection results, eligible homeowners could apply for grants to implement recommended improvements. These improvements often include measures such as installing storm shutters, reinforcing the roof, and upgrading doors and windows to meet current building codes.
  3. Educational Resources: The program also offers educational resources to help homeowners understand the importance of wind mitigation and how specific improvements could enhance their home’s resilience.
  4. Financial Assistance: The state of Florida allocates funds to support the program, allowing homeowners to receive financial assistance for implementing eligible improvements. The program aims to make these improvements more accessible to a broader range of residents.

The process of obtaining a grant typically involves several steps:

  1. Application: Homeowners interested in participating in the program needed to submit an application. The application process involved providing basic information about the property and the homeowner.
  2. Free Wind Inspection: Qualified applicants received a free wind inspection conducted by a trained inspector. The inspector assessed various aspects of the home’s construction and identified potential vulnerabilities to wind damage.
  3. Inspection Report: After the wind inspection was completed, the homeowner received a detailed inspection report outlining the findings and recommendations for improvements. The report indicated specific areas where the home could be strengthened to better withstand windstorms.
  4. Grant Eligibility: Based on the inspection results, homeowners could be eligible for grants to implement the recommended improvements. The grants were designed to cover the costs of specific wind mitigation measures, such as installing storm shutters, reinforcing the roof, or upgrading doors and windows to meet current building codes.
  5. Contracting and Improvements: Once approved for a grant, homeowners needed to hire licensed contractors to carry out the recommended improvements. It was essential to use licensed professionals to ensure that the work met required standards.
  6. Grant Disbursement: After the improvements were completed and verified, the grant funds were disbursed to the homeowner to cover the costs of the mitigation measures.

Feel free to download this pdf guide to Understanding & Navigating the MySafeFlHome Program:


To find FAQs or other details about the program, you can take the following steps:

  1. Visit the Official Website: Go to the official website of the Florida Department of Financial Services https://mysafeflhome.com/ or any other relevant state agency. Look for a section related to housing, hurricane preparedness, or similar topics.
  2. Contact the Program Administrators: If there is a specific office or department overseeing the program, consider reaching out to them directly. Contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses, is often available on official websites.
  3. Check Program Materials: If the program has brochures, pamphlets, or informational materials, these may include FAQs. Such materials are often available for download on official websites.
  4. Search Online: Use search engines to look for recent news articles, press releases, or any updates related to the program. Sometimes, news outlets or government sources provide information that can answer common questions.

Remember that the details and status of programs can change, so it’s crucial to rely on the latest and most accurate information from official sources.

Roof Prep for Hurricane Season

According to the National Hurricane Center, official hurricane season runs from May 15 to November 30 for the Pacific Coast and June 1 to November 30 for the Atlantic Coast.

Hurricane season brings unpredictable weather with the potential to cause major wind and water damage to your roof. Whether you’re a business owner or homeowner, it’s important to put a plan in place to protect your roof, especially if you live in a hurricane-prone area.

We’ve rounded up five tips to help prepare your roof for hurricane season:

  1. Roof evaluation: get to know the condition of your roof with a thorough inspection.
  2. Trim trees: identify tree limbs, dead trees, and over-hanging branches to minimize risk.
  3. Routine maintenance: keeping a regular maintenance program is the best way to ensure your roof can stand up to the elements of a storm.
  4. Clean gutters & drains: maintaining a clear pathway for water to travel down to the ground and not sit on your roof to cause potential water damage is essential.
  5. Make proper repairs: minor cracks and leaks can lead to serious problems during a hurricane.

Don’t let storm season sneak up on you. Putting a roof preparation plan in place ahead of time is the best way to ensure your roof can stand up to the elements of a tropical storm. Are you prepared?

Making your Roof Last Longer in Fort Pierce, FL

While every property owner wants their roof to last forever, weather elements and other factors can cut short the roof’s life. Roof replacement costs average $35,000, an amount that can dent your savings. Proper care and timely maintenance can ensure your current roof stays strong and healthy, beyond the expected service life.

 

Roof Maintenance Tips

Roof Maintenance Tips

Here are practical roof maintenance tips that can help extend the lifespan of your roof in Fort Pierce, FL.

Hire a qualified roofer

Start by finding a competent roofer that can perform quality roof installations and proper roof repairs. A good roof contractor will perform flawless installations and thorough roof repairs on your metal panel or asphalt shingles, ensuring your residential roof stands the test of time. Experience, workmanship, and certification matter a lot. When looking for a roofer to install a new roof over your home, find a contractor that’s fully insured and has manufacturer’s certifications. These are good indications of their commitment to the craft.

A good roofer will not compromise on the choice of roofing materials or cut corners to save money. They will follow established roofing procedures and will complete the job to your satisfaction. Contact All Area Roofing for asphalt roofs and other roofing needs. We’re happy to help you create durable roofs.

Use durable roofing materials

Your choice of roofing material and components also determine how long your roofing system will last. If you’re building a new home, you want to make sure the roofer uses the best materials possible to make your roof last. Various roofing materials are available, and each has a different lifespan and price point.

Slate and metal roofs are two fantastic options. Metal can hold up well against snow, hailstorm, and high winds. A slate roof can also give you years of service, not to mention it looks beautiful from the outside. To ensure you get a roof that lasts long, find a local roofer that does expert installation as the slate roofs are delicate.

Inspect your roof each year

Unless you inspect your roof, you can’t tell whether something is off. Your roof can look good from the ground, but when you climb up or at a higher level and look at the roof, you’ll get a better view of the roof’s condition and shape. Look out for unusual dumps, dents or small holes, nails sticking out, lifted shingles, dips, or any other signs of potential roof damage.

Even the strongest roofs can be breached during heavy storms or traumatic events. In some cases, roof damage may not be visible unless someone that’s trained can examine the roof. A qualified roof inspector can help identify small problems before they turn into costly repairs or full-scale roof replacement down the road.

Keep snow and ice away

Snow and ice buildup can weigh down the roof, causing it to sag and fail before its time. Prolonged contact with these elements will also lower the temperature of your roofing materials.

This can cause materials to expand and contract, taking a toll on them. You can use a long-handed scrapper or a roof rake to dislodge the snow/ice from the roof. A salt-water solution can also help accelerate melt-offs.

Make roof maintenance a priority

The final piece of the puzzle in prolonging your roof’s lifespan is prioritizing roof maintenance. Once your asphalt roofing is complete, get in the habit of cleaning it and inspecting it at least twice a year (in spring and the fall).

Make sure the roof is clean and free of debris and leaf matter. Keep an eye out for moss and algae. Remove any moss on your roof shingles and unclog your gutters. Leaving debris and leaves to collect on your gutters can obstruct water flow. Moss can also weaken and ultimately damage your roof.

Cut low-hanging branches & old trees

If there are any nearby trees, make sure you trim overhanging branches or overgrown limbs to prevent them from causing roof damage in stormy weather. Cut down old, dying, or dead trees as they can become a safety hazard in a storm. There’s a risk that limbs can break, or the tree can fall on your property and cause extensive damage that will force you to do a roof replacement.

Maintain adequate insulation

Proper and adequate attic insulation isn’t just good for your money, but it also helps your home’s roof last longer. Without adequate insulation, indoor air can also become hot, and make shingles decay faster. Your existing roof will lose its effectiveness and may fall apart sooner than you expect. A professional roofer can help inspect the insulation and recommend a fix.

Check your attic’s vents

Take time to examine the attic vents that go to the outside of your home. Make sure the vents are clog-free and wide enough to allow air to move around. Proper ventilation can also prevent moisture damage and ensure the roof lasts for a long.

Perform timely roof repairs

Some roofing issues like minor leaks or dents can seem small at first. But over time, they can grow worse and cause lots of costly problems including water damage. So, don’t put off roof repairs. Contact All Area Roofing to fix repair damaged shingles, recaulk flashing, and fix loose or damaged gutters. Proper roof repair can add a couple more years to your roof’s life span and make maintenance a breeze.
