Metal Roofing is the Gift That Keeps Giving https://www.guardianroofing.com/2022/12/metal-roofing-is-the-gift-that-keeps-giving/ Wed, 14 Dec 2022 19:17:23 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=30855 With the Season of Giving in full swing, we all have an opportunity to spread love and give gifts to loved ones and friends.

Some people prepare months ahead, and others shop at the last minute. The gifts differ too, some deeply personal, others expensive, and many simple expressions of appreciation. Whatever your reason, giving and receiving gifts is a highlight of this season.

Plenty of us buy a gift just for us, but why not one that gives back for years to come? Like a certificate to the Jelly of the Month club, metal roofing is the gift that keeps giving. While metal roofing offers more than a tasty fruit jelly, how does it continue to give back?

First, metal roofs enjoy a long life compared to many other roofing solutions. Our metal roofs can last 50 years, while asphalt roofing needs replacement every 12-15 years. So, if you plan to stay in your home long-term, metal offers lasting performance and retains a beautiful appearance.

Next, a Guardian Home metal roof is incredibly durable, offering better performance against the Pacific Northwest’s harsh weather, including fires, rain, hailstorms, and high winds.

When choosing metal, an improved fastening system holds it securely to your home. Besides containing the spread of fire from your home, a metal roof resists wind-blown embers. Also, metal roofing deals with hail better than asphalt or tile. Where asphalt takes a beating and loses granules and tile chips or cracks, metal often takes only cosmetic damage.

Finally, Guardian Home metal roofs use a coating system to reflect part of the sun’s rays, reducing heat transfer to the inside of your home. Also, our metal roofs leave a gap between the deck and the panel, dissipating heat. Contrast this with asphalt composition shingles that absorb heat all day and release it in your attic, driving the inside temperature up. With reflective coatings and heat dissipation combined, we can reduce the effort your home’s heating and cooling system exerts, saving you money every month.

While other roofs leave you with stress, worry, and anxiety battling harsh weather and wear, a Guardian Metal Roof gives you peace of mind. As we give to our friends, family, co-workers, and communities this season, give yourself and your home a gift that keeps giving for years to come. Call Guardian Roofing & Gutters today at 877-926-9966 or request your appointment online »

Making the most of the home you already have. https://www.guardianroofing.com/2022/07/making-the-most-of-the-home-you-already-have/ Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:34:44 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=24868 With new construction and newer houses out of reach or not available, many Pacific Northwest homeowners are deciding to stay longer in the home they already have. For others, it means maximizing and protecting their investment for the future. Unless you need to relocate, are you interested in making the most of the home you already have?

Home Sweet Home

Comfort and Value in an Older Home

  • We know kitchen and bathroom updates impact the value of your home. Don’t wait to renovate for someone else’s enjoyment.
  • A sense of cohesiveness and order can go a long way to make your home a calm and relaxing refuge, inside and out.
  • Knowing that home energy costs are minimized is important in having peace of mind for the future.
  • And then, there’s sustainability. Even a house that’s 150 years old can be updated with environmentally friendly products and systems.
  • Curb appeal is essential when it’s time to sell, but there’s pride in having a well-tended lawn, garden, and exterior. How inviting is your home from the view across the street?

Several of these “home improvements” to an older home can be taken care of with the right roof. Only an aluminum Guardian metal roof will:

When it comes to bringing beauty and value to the exterior of your home, reducing energy costs and producing energy, and making a sustainable decision, only one roof will do: a Guardian Metal Roof.

Why not use the largest exterior surface of your home to save and produce energy? https://www.guardianroofing.com/2022/06/why-not-use-the-largest-exterior-surface-of-your-home-to-save-and-produce-energy/ Thu, 16 Jun 2022 16:30:43 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=21440 Roofing Solar

Today, energy and its costs are top-of-mind for more of us than ever before. How can we maximize our resources to reduce the cost of energy now and in the future?

Cost-Effective Solar Energy: PV Solar Mounted Panels

The current reality is that traditional crystalline photovoltaic solar panels offer the most cost-effective energy production. Their modular nature is accommodating in allowing repairs and replacement. Additionally, while they are durable and built to last 20 or so years, they do eventually need to be replaced, allowing property owners to step up to even more efficient energy production at that time.

Solar Installation on a Guardian Metal Roof

Traditional solar panels can be integrated nicely with our metal roofs. With clip-fastened standing seam roofs, the panels can be clamped onto the raised seams so that no or very few actual roof penetrations are necessary. With other styles, roof penetrations will be required; however, we use fastening brackets designed for water tightness that work very well.

Metal roofs are ideal for solar installation in 3 specific ways:

  • Cool metal roofs can increase solar panels’ efficiency.
  • Reducing your energy needs with the right roof may reduce the size of the solar array required for your home.
  • The metal roof’s durability will hold up to roof traffic when the solar array is installed and serviced.

You Can Save Energy while Producing Energy

You can drastically decrease your home energy expenses by using the largest exposed surface of your house as a system that cools and insulates while providing a permanent and secure base for PV solar panels. In this short read, roofing expert Todd Miller explains how a Guardian metal roof can save and produce energy for your Pacific Northwest home.

If you consider solar for your home, keep in mind that solar experts generally say their components have a life expectancy of around 20 years. By the end of that time, the production efficiency will have declined, and it will be time to update the solar array. However, our quality metal roofs will easily last 50+ years, so it’s essential to ensure that replacing the solar will not require replacing the roof.

And here’s more good news: even if you’re not yet ready for solar panels, we can help. If it’s time for a new roof, we’ll help you prepare for future solar installation on your lifetime roof.

We’d appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about your home solar and roof dreams and determine how we can make those dreams a reality. Schedule your FREE roofing consultation today or call 877-926-9966.

Metal Roof Ahead! https://www.guardianroofing.com/2022/05/metal-roof-ahead/ Thu, 19 May 2022 14:59:28 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=19315 Are you looking for a new roof?

Or have you been avoiding the search, not willing to deal with the hassle?

Roofing technology has advanced tremendously in the last few decades with new options you should know about. Metal has become more than a trend; it’s a versatile roofing solution.

Here are four signs that metal may be right for you:

Sign #1: You are seeking a specific style.

Maybe you want to stand out in your neighborhood, blend in, or complement your home’s existing style. Metal is the most versatile roofing material and boasts various styles, shapes, and colors. One of our Seattle customers decided they wanted a distinct style to match their recently renovated home.

Sign #2: You don’t want to go through the re-roofing process again.

Who can blame you? We understand that picking a new roof, finding a trustworthy contractor, and waiting for installation can be challenging. Guardian Home can easily become your trusted professional metal roofing contractor.

Quality metal roofing lasts much longer than standard asphalt shingles, usually two to three times longer. Our metal roofing’s excellent warranties give you the peace of mind that you’ve made a sound financial decision. You may never have to re-roof again.

Sign #3: You’re worried about natural disasters, severe weather, or fire.

We’ve experienced an increase in fires, severe storms, and harsh weather. Metal has both the certifications and the practical proof of its toughness and protection of homes and all they contain.

Sign #4: You want to save money on your energy bills.

We all want to save money on energy. Our metal roofing can save customers up to 25% on summer cooling costs.

Where do the signs point?

Our expert team would love to guide you on your journey to the best roof for you and your home. Give us a call at 877-926-9966 or contact us and get on your way to the last roof you’ll ever need.

Roof Installation and Repair Warranties And What They Mean https://www.guardianroofing.com/2021/05/roof-installation-and-repair-warranties-and-what-they-mean/ Sat, 01 May 2021 14:42:44 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=11842 Roof repair and installations can be a big financial burden, with extra time invested in choosing the right material color and so on. Once you’ve committed to having your roof repaired or replaced, it’s vital to understand both the workmanship and manufacturer warranties.

Manufacturer Warranties

Almost all roofing shingles come with an industry standard basic limited lifetime warranty. This warranty will cover you as long as you own your home. Different manufacturers have different versions of “Limited”, so it’s important to read what each manufacturers’ warranty covers. Most manufacturer warranties will cover defective shingles and the cost of replacing defective shingles for up to one year. Faulty installation or damage caused to the shingles as a result is not covered under this type of warranty.

Guardian Guarantee Certificate

Workmanship Warranties

A key role in the life of your roof, whether new or repaired, is the workmanship warranty provided by your contractor. The length of the warranty differs by  contractor, but should protect you against material failures due to improper installation and damage done to your home’s exterior or interior while the work was being performed. Additionally, a good workmanship warranty should be good for the life of the roof.

Keep in mind that a contractor’s warranty may not cover items such as storm or wind damage, ice damage, damage due to alteration of the roofing installation or repair work as well as leaks caused by fallen tree limbs and other issues not directly related to the contractor’s work on your roof.

Extended Warranties and the Guardian Roofing Difference

Most manufacturers will offer extended warranties, but usually for an additional cost. At Guardian Roofing, our experience and continued quality means that manufacturers back our work with automatic extended warranties at no additional cost to you. To learn more about our Guardian Guarantee, feel free to contact us anytime by calling: 877-926-9966

How To Know How Long Your Roof Will Last https://www.guardianroofing.com/2020/10/how-long-roof-last/ Mon, 05 Oct 2020 15:00:18 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=10216 How To Know How Long Your Roof Will Last

Repairing or replacing your roofing system can be a costly proposition. So, it’s important as a homeowner to understand the life expectancies of different roofing materials to make an informed choice when investing in a new roof. Here is a quick roundup of how long various residential roofing materials last.

Asphalt Shingles

An asphalt shingle roof lasts around 15 to 25 years when properly maintained and barring significant storms or disasters. However, you will need to have your roof thoroughly inspected by a professional around the 15-year mark, especially if your roof has faced a major weather issue.

If you suspect your asphalt shingles might need repairs or replacement, look out for major cracks, curled shingles around the edges, or missing granules. A hailstorm, tornado, blizzard, or other catastrophic weather event could shorten the lifetime, prompting untimely repairs or replacement.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing systems are becoming increasingly popular for residential homes, thanks to their longevity. With proper installation and maintenance, metal roofs can last for decades. Typically, a metal roof can last for up to 50 years or even longer if it is well cared for and no major storms or other problems occur. In fact, copper or zinc can remain beautiful and fully functional for 100 years, making their high upfront cost well worth the investment.

Low Slope and Flat Roofing

If your home has a flat or low-sloped roof, a roofing membrane such as EPDM can be an ideal choice due to its low cost and ease of installation and repair. However, EPDM roofs only last 5-15 years and are prone to leakage due to their glued or taped seams. TPO or PVC roof membranes are more costly but relatively more durable alternatives for flat or low-sloped roofs.

Cedar Shake and Wood Shingles

Cedar roofing offers an elegant and timeless appearance. It’s highly rot and insect-resistant, making it last for decades or even longer with proper maintenance. Typically, cedar shingles or shakes can last 30-40 years depending on the climate, level of maintenance, and presence of any overhanging trees which can cause faster deterioration. When you begin to notice cedar shingles or shakes peeling or cracking, then you know it is time to consider repairing or replacing your roof.

Tile

Tile roofing systems are popular in warmer, wetter climates due to their impressive heating and cooling efficiencies and water resistance. The lifespan of your tile roof will largely depend on the specific type of tile you choose and the prevailing weather conditions in your region. Overall, tile roofs can last 100 years or longer with proper care.

While the lifespan of your roof will largely depend on the specific roofing material you choose, the installation technique and maintenance routines will significantly shorten or prolong the life expectancy of your roof. Always work with a reliable, local roofer for all your roofing and maintenance needs. Guardian Homes is your ultimate roofing partner in the greater Puget Sound Area.

What You Need To Know About Metal Roofs https://www.guardianroofing.com/2020/08/need-to-know-about-metal-roofs/ Mon, 03 Aug 2020 08:00:15 +0000 https://www.guardianhome.com/?p=10054 What You Need To Know About Metal Roofs

Metal roofs have long been used on commercial properties, but their popularity in residential use is increasingly growing. While they’re not storm proof, metal roof systems are resistant and strong. A modern residential metal roof is less prone to damage from water, hail, wind, fire, and lightning.

Fire

With the dangers of wildfires, a metal roof will prove to be a good investment. Metal roofs are the most fire-safe of all types of roofing materials.

Unlike petroleum-based asphalt shingles and wood shake, metal is generally noncombustible and offers your home a high degree of fire protection. Metal roofs carry a Class A fire-resistant rating, the highest possible.

Wind

Strong winds can happen anywhere, but when an extreme windstorm hits an area, many homeowners are left with some degree of roof damage. Metal is an extremely durable roofing solution which delivers great protection from strong winds. They can withstand gusts of wind of up to 140 mph.

Metal roofing systems consist of large interlocking panels which resist uplift caused by high winds.

Lightning

Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs do not increase the risk of lightning strikes. Lightning seeks a direct path to ground, which explains why telephone poles and trees attract lightning. Metal roofs are structural components with no direct path to ground.

If metal roofing happens to get struck by lightning, it provides better protection than conventional roofing materials as it safely disperses the energy. Since metal is fireproof, a strike is much less likely to start a fire.

Hail

Hail can break, tear-off, and split conventional roofing materials, resulting in hefty repair and replacement costs. It would take a large piece of hail to cause such problems to a metal roofing system. Metal roofs are tough and strong enough to withstand considerable hail damage.

In a very severe storm, there’s the risk of hail causing dents and punctures on the surface, but the damage is significantly less than with other types. It’s also easier to detect damage and have it repaired right away.

Water

Metal roofing can prevent water damage. Due to the interlocking panels, metal roofing systems have fewer entry points of water and they are also not susceptible to uplift. Snow and ice easily slide off since metal conducts heat from the sun. This saves your home’s structure from additional weight and also reduces the risk of damage from melting snow.

Have a Reputable Roofer Install Your Metal Roof

Installing a metal roof is a complicated process with so many details to follow. Although metal roofs are strong, resistant to harsh elements, and long-lasting, complications arising from improper installation will reduce their effectiveness and lifespan.

It’s important to work with a contractor who is experienced with metal roofing. As your trusted roof contractor in the greater Puget Sound Area, you can count on the team at Guardian Homes to get the installation done right the first time. Contact us today to learn more about our services!
