Boak & Sons is dedicated to delivering top-tier roofing options to our Northeast Ohio clientele. Despite the popularity of metal roofs, we consciously opt out of installing them on homes. Our founder, Sam Boak, upholds this decision for a multitude of reasons.
The Dilemma of Exposed Fasteners and Rust
A major concern with metal roofs is their reliance on exposed fasteners. These elements are vital for roof stability, yet they’re vulnerable over time. Northeast Ohio’s variable climate subjects these fasteners to repeated expansion and contraction, risking loosening. The seals provided by the washers also degrade, heightening the risk of leaks.
Rust poses a significant threat as well. Exposed to the elements, metal fasteners and washers can succumb to rust, undermining the roof’s structural integrity and visual charm.
Elevated Costs for Commercial Metal Roofing Quality: Standing Seam
We reserve metal roofing for commercial projects, employing hidden fasteners and premium materials that endure. These high-caliber components and methods, however, reflect in the cost.
For homes, we prioritize a blend of quality, longevity, and affordability. Current residential metal roofing technology doesn’t align with our benchmarks for enduring performance and economic value.
While we consciously refrain from installing metal roofs on residential properties, we recognize the value of standing seam metal roofing for specific applications.
The Strength of Standing Seam
Standing seam metal roofing offers several advantages, especially when fabricated in-house by our skilled sheet metal team:
Durability: Standing seam roofs are renowned for their longevity. The interlocking panels create a watertight seal, protecting against leaks and weather-related damage.
Aesthetics: The clean lines and sleek appearance of standing seam roofs enhance the visual appeal of commercial and industrial buildings. Our sheet metal experts meticulously craft each seam to ensure a seamless and elegant finish.
Low Maintenance: With minimal exposed fasteners, standing seam roofs require less maintenance. Our precision fabrication ensures a tight fit, reducing the risk of loosening over time.
Energy Efficiency: Standing seam roofs can be customized with reflective coatings or insulation, contributing to energy savings and thermal comfort.
