[caption id="attachment_6653" align="alignleft" width="300"] Photo credit: DECRA Roofing Systems[/caption]

At Elite Roofing we often speak with property owners interested in weighing the pros and cons of investing in metal roofing.  As leading providers of metal roofing in the Denver area, we’re always happy to help consumers consider their options and determine the best roofing product for their needs and budget. If you’re interested in Denver metal roofing, we encourage you to consider the following.

Benefits

Durability

For most property owners, the major selling point of a metal roof is durability. Designed to withstand even the harshest of weather conditions, metal roofs are a great option for those of us living in the Rockies.  If you’re looking to invest in a roof for the long term, a metal roof is a great option.

Lifespan

Most metal roofs come with a warranty ranging between 30 to 50 years. When compared to traditional asphalt shingle roofs, that typically last 20 years, the lifespan of a metal roof is yet another attractive benefit.

Energy Efficiency

Because metal roofs reflect light, they can actually help to reduce utility bills in the summer months. In colder months, properly ventilated metal roofs can help to absorb solar heat. Now that’s a win-win!

Fireproof

Fire risk awareness among property owners is also adding to the popularity of metal roofs. This is particularly true in arid climates. If you’re looking for a roof that will stand the test of time, and reduce fire risk, a metal roof is a great option!

Other Considerations

Cost

Metal roofs come at a higher price point than more commonly used materials. However, when considering the total cost of ownership of a metal roof, that can last up to 50 years, you may find that metal is actually more cost effective than other options.

Hail Damage

It’s also important to note that hail can dent a metal roof. Discuss manufacturer guarantees as you consider your options, many today guarantee against denting even from heavy hail.

Winter Roof Repair

The extreme weather conditions we experience here in Colorado, in the winter months, can take a toll on your property. At Elite Roofing we often hear from property owners, this time of year, interested in learning about their winter roof repair options. Simply put, some damage cannot be ignored until warmer weather prevails. If you suspect that you might be in need of winter roof repairs, you’ve come to the right place! Let’s take a closer look at repairs that can be completed now to ensure your roof withstands the winter.

Ice Damming Risk

Ice damming can cause major damage to your roof and the structure of your home. This time of year, it’s a good idea to watch for signs of ice damming and/or areas of high potential for ice dams to form. Ice dams are mounds of frozen snow melt that build up at the edge of your roof trapping future snow melt and causing water damage. Ice dams form when warm air leaking through a roof causes snow to melt. As it trickles to the edge of the roof, the cold edges cause the water to refreeze. Over time, ice dams build up and can become a much bigger issue. If you have had ice dams in the past, or you suspect that your roof is leaking warm air, it’s best to undergo a professional roof inspection.

Snow Stop

If heavy snow buildup is an issue for you, it’s a good idea to consider a cleated system, also know as a snow guard.  Designed to prevent snow from breaking loose and covering items below your roofline, a snow stop can protect your family’s safety as well as your property.

Heat Tape

Installing heat tape in gutters is another great way to protect the integrity of your roof in the winter months. Designed to prevent blockages in gutters, downspouts and interior drains, heat tape can help prevent ice dams and water seepage into your home.

These are just a few examples of proactive steps you can take to prevent damage to your roof in the winter months. At Elite Roofing we are always happy to help property owners extend the lifespan of their roofing system. From winter roof repairs to complete replacements, we do it all!

Concerns about Melting Snow on Roof

Do you have concerns about melting snow on your roof? If so, you’re not alone. The stress that winter snowfall places on our roofs is cause for concern for property owners throughout the Rockies. If you fall into this category, we encourage you to consider the following.

Condensation

When the warm air your house emanates meets the cold surface of your roof, condensation naturally occurs. For this reason, a roof or attack lacking sufficient insulation is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mild, particularly during snow melt. Consistent condensation can damage even a newer roof and ultimately shortened its lifespan. Insulating and properly ventilating your attack is the best defense against condensation.

Ice Dams

Colorado winters can take a toll on the structural integrity of your roof in the way of snow build up and ice dams. Ice dams occur when ice on the warmer sections of a roof begins to melt and refreezes over built up ice in other areas. As the dam begins to cause moisture to pool on your roof, it’s common for water to begin seeping between joints and cracks, causing serious damage.  The best way to prevent ice dams is to seal all warm air leaks in close proximity to your roof sheathing. Again, proper ventilation and insulation can help to prevent ice dams from forming.

Melting Snow

Melting snow on your roof is a part of homeownership in Colorado. However, an aging or compromised roof can suffer as a result. If you suspect that your roof is on its last leg, snow melt can actually help isolate the issue. Pay attention to the areas where the snow is melting quicker. This is typically indicative warm air leaks. By fixing the issue, you may be able to extend the life of your roof.

Book Your Roof Inspection Today!

If you suspect that you have warm air leaks as a result of inadequate insulation or damage to your roof, we encourage you to schedule a roof inspection today! At Elite Roofing we are proud to offer free, no-obligation roofing inspections.

Low Slope EPDM Commercial Roofs

[caption id="attachment_6744" align="alignleft" width="300"] Photo credit: versico.com[/caption]

If you’re exploring your options for a low slope commercial roofing product, EPDM is a great solution to consider. Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber used to create a watertight roofing membrane. One of the most durable commercial roofing products on the market today, property owners can expect to get upwards of 30 years of use out of an EPDM system.

Low Slope Commercial Roofing

A commercial roof is considered low slope if it has a slope less than or equal to 3:12, or 14 degrees. Low slopes require special, water impermeable roofing applications. The durability of an EPDM membrane make it an ideal solution for low slope commercial roofs.

VersiGard® EPDM

At Elite Roofing we’re proud to work exclusively with VersiGard® EPDM membranes. Having been in the industry for more than 50 years, Verigard has earned a reputation as the leader in the space. In fact, they offer an unprecedented 30-year warranty on their EPDM commercial roofing systems. This is precisely why we are proud to offer VersiGard solutions to our customers.

Long Lasting & Repairable

Not only do these systems come with a 30-year warranty, they can easily be repaired. Commercial property owners are often able to further extend the life of an EPDM with a low-cost repair. Forget replacing your low-slope commercial roof again in 15 or 20 years, invest in a roofing system that will last upwards of 30.

Your Low Slope EPDM Commercial Roof

If you’re wondering if EPDM is in fact the right choice for your low slope roof, in most cases it’s safe to assume that it is. However, it is always a good idea to consult a roofing professional. At Elite Roofing we are proud to offer free, no-obligation roofing inspections. Allow one of our highly experienced commercial roofing specialists to inspect your roof and help you determine if EPDM is in fact the right solution for your needs.
