If you’re looking to replace your roof, join other homeowners and consider metal roofing! 

From the metal roofing experts at Landmark Exteriors, here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about metal roofing: 

Q: What are the benefits of metal roofing?

• Metal roofs come in a variety of colors and design options. 
• Metal roofing is incredibly durable and can last more than 30 years. 
• Metal roofing is fire and rot-resistant. 
• Metal roofing is energy-efficient and can reduce your energy costs. 

Q: Can metal roofs be installed over an existing roof? 

Yes, they can! Metal roofing is lightweight and is unlikely to overload your current asphalt roof. Installing your metal roof over an existing one can also provide extra insulation.  

Q: Is metal roofing noisy?

Metal roofing is typically installed over an existing roof or a plywood and felt base. As a result, sounds from wind, hail, and other weather conditions aren’t any louder than other roofing materials.  

Q: Is metal roofing expensive?

Metal roofing does cost more than an asphalt roof. Initially, installing a metal roof will be more expensive, but it will last longer and need less maintenance over time, potentially saving you money in the long run. 

Q: Is metal roofing environmentally friendly?

Yes, metal roofing is a much more sustainable option than asphalt roofs. Your metal roof may be partially made from recyclable metal, and at the end of its lifespan, it can likely be recycled again, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to other roofing materials. 

Q: How do metal roofs handle snow and ice?

Metal roofs are great for colder climates that get heavy snowfall. When snow lands on your roof, it won’t build up and will instead slip right off, also helping to reduce ice formation.

It’s important to care for your property every season, but when summer comes, your home requires some extra maintenance. Summer is the time for outdoor living and enjoying the outdoors, meaning your property’s looks and functionality is more important than ever. 

From the team at Landmark Exteriors, here are some maintenance tips to help you take care of your home and property this summer season: 

Clean up With a Power Washer

The heat and humidity that encompasses the summer season can cause mold and mildew to grow outside your home. Use a power washer to help you get a thorough clean on your patio, driveway, walls, and siding; they’ll all look good as new! 

Clean Out Your Gutter System

The spring and winter seasons likely have left your gutters clogged with all kinds of dirt and debris that can lead to broken and inefficient gutters. Take some time to safely remove all that gunk out of your gutters and downspouts to make sure water has a place to safely drain away from your home. 

Beautify Your Lawn

If you love having a luscious green lawn and vibrant plants surrounding your home, it will take some work to get there. Your plants, trees, and grass are begging for some TLC to help them grow and thrive. Mow, seed, and fertilize your lawn while giving your flowers and trees the mulch and water they need to grow to make your property look great!

Wash Your Windows

Let the light shine into your home by getting outside and cleaning your windows. Use hot, soapy water to scrub and thoroughly clean the surfaces for a spotless finish. Don’t forget the screens, too! 

Get A Roof Inspection Done

As the seasons change, your roofing system handles a lot, from heavy snow to rain to hail to heat. Getting an inspection done every year helps ensure your roof remains in good working condition. As well, your roofing expert can spot any damages and potential issues that need to be addressed soon before it worsens and becomes more costly.
