Metal Roofing

I didn't work on many projects this past Summer because one project took up most of our waking hours.   It was a LONG time coming but will be worth it all now that it's finished!
I am pleased to present (drum roll here, dadadadadadaaaaa...)
My New Metal Roof





My Better Half, children, and I worked diligently to get this new roof on.  Many times we thought of quitting and calling the professionals.  But we persisted and got the job done, saving us a lot of money, while learning lots of new life skills.


We decided to go with a metal roof because it is guaranteed to last for life and supposed to help keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.


We live in the snow belt of Ohio and so the 100+ inches of snow we get each year will just slide right off.


The metal roof gives our little house a nice, clean look (any little bit helps, you know) and will never have to be replaced..love it!!
It really was a lot of work and I'm not sure if we ever had to replace it that we would do it ourselves.  But it is done now (so thankful!) and supposedly, we will not have to replace it again!

Blessings,

  2. Wow! That is one huge job...congrats to all of you for persisting and getting it done! And it's so interesting seeing your 'whole' house. Having seen bits and pieces of it on other posts, I would have imagined it to be out in the country! It's all in the perspective, isn't it?! Love it!

    1. It is not loud when it rains. There are spacers between the old roofing and the new metal roofing. This gives an air barrier for heat, cold, and sound! The road noise is quieter too!

  7. Looks wonderful. The thing is...now you have done it, and if you ever want or need to do it again, it will be easier. The first time is a learning experience, the second is practice :)

  12. The roof looks great. Although it was difficult, tearing off the old roof and doing shingles would have been more time consuming. Not to mention it would also be more labor intensive too for shingles. Thank you for sharing the process with us.

  15. What you did was quite dangerous, but I guess working with your family and gaining new skills is priceless and worth the risk. Nice choice of roof, by the way. Metal roof is ideal to protect your home from calamities such as snow and rains. It is known for its durability which makes it low-maintenance. It also has an environment-friendly feature that makes it cooler :-) How cute you match the color of your roof to the entire house. Two thumbs up for the job well done!

  16. When it comes to repair the existing roof or constructing a new one then there are a variety of different materials to choose from. All of these materials will give a different look to a home and they all have unique advantages and disadvantages too. Metal roofing is a nice option as it is much durable and also available in different colors so it can add charm to your house.

  18. The metallic luster of metal roofs gives an attractive look to the entire system. Metals impart shine and are considered as one of the attractive forms.

I'll add, "If you HAVE something nice to say, share generously."
