Metal Roofing Gathers No Moss
After years of leaks, the owners of this home needed a roof that would be impervious to organic growth, durable for years to come, beautiful and faithful to the home’s style, and a close visual match to the old wood shake. The strength and protection of metal roofing proved the perfect solution.
A Championship Worthy Replacement Roof
After 5 decades of whatever Mother Nature could throw at it, the aging copper batten roof of this campus coliseum had to be removed. Metal kept the classic, familiar look while adding a whole new layer of durability and detailing.

New Study Verifies Steel Roofs Can Last As Long As The Buildings They Cover: Typically 60 Years Or More.
By: John Ryan, Metal Construction Association
The cost of replacing a roof can be one of the most significant maintenance expenses in the life of a building. USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design building rating program (version 4) assumes a building service life of 60 years. With most types of roofing, building owners can expect to replace the roof once or twice in that amount of time, incurring significant expense to do so.
Many buildings are The Metal Construction Association (MCA) is proud to announce a new study that verifies that coated steel roofs can last as long as the buildings they cover. The research study concluded that the expected service life of an unpainted 55% Al-Zn coated steel standing seam roof constructed today in a wide range of environments using best practices can be expected to be in excess of 60 years.
