Impact Resistant Shingles

Will impact resistant roof shingles save you money?

Homeowners insurance isn’t cheap, especially in states that are hard hit with storms each year. Texas ranks first in the number of hail storms each year followed by Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Information provided by State Farm states they recorded their fifth highest claim payout ever, when 68,000 claims were filed in Fort Worth, Texas in 1992.

Why this is important for Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana

We live in a geographic zone that “by nature” can produce massive thunder, hail laden, storms. The Gulf moisture pumps up to our area and meets the descending mountain cool air that can explode into tornados, hail storms, and torrential rains. Mix in rapid temperature changes that Texas and Oklahoma get and you have the makings of some dangerous damaging weather.

How much savings?

In order to receive a discount, you must install a roof material that;

• has been tested by Underwriters Laboratory
• has a certification, called a UL Listing, of Levels 1,2,3, or 4.
• You must live in a designated area for hail damage

Level 4 is the highest resistance rating and brings the highest discount of 35%; but there is that catch of where you live, based on potential for hail damage loss. The discount goes all the way down to 1% if you live in the lowest rated hail zone and use a Level 1 UL rated roof material. You can get a list of roofs with complying with UL 2218 at State Farm Impact-Resistant List.

How was the Underwriters Laboratory rating created?

Steel balls, weighted and measured, were dropped from different heights to measure consistently the damage to each roof type submitted. A base measurement was established for each of the Levels. Those roof materials with recorded damage below each levels maximum, received the corresponding certification. Most certified roof materials are Level 4, the highest category.

Where to get more information

It wouldn’t make much sense to tear off an good, existing roof to install an impact-resistant new roof; but when your roof gets older before you have problems there local Dallas Roofing Experts that can help with deciding what to do. Impact-resistant shingles are more expensive today, but also lower your insurance costs saving you money in the long run.

Slate and Simulated Slate Roofing

Slate is beautiful, natural and can last for up to 50 years. It's no surprise why it's the roofing choice of the high-end homeowner. What if you can't afford the cost of natural slate, but you like the look of it? That's where simulated slate comes in.

Simulated slate is a mixture of slate, concrete and non-alkaline glass fibers. The best part is that it is made from slate molds, which makes it near impossible to tell that it isn't slate. It's also extremely durable. The combination of concrete and non-alkaline glass fibers make it very versatile and just as strong as slate.

There is also one huge advantage simulated slate has over standard slate. The weight of slate is very heavy and not all homes can structurally support slate roofing. Simulated slate generally weighs in at half the weight of standard slate roofing. So you won't have to worry if your home can support the weight.

Some of the other benefits of simulated slate are that it's energy efficient and can block the suns rays. Helping keep your energy costs down in summer. It's also non-combustible and fire-resistant.

Simulated slate and slate are similar, if you can't decide try asking a professional about getting a roof estimate or inspecting your roofs structural support to see if it can support the weight of natural slate.

What Should You Look for in a Roofing Contractor

It’s never a good idea to make a purchasing decision without any education on the product or service. The same applies for hiring contractors to work on your house. It can be a daunting task choosing someone to work on your home, which in an investment. You wouldn’t randomly pick a brokerage firm from the phone book and you shouldn’t pick a contractor that way either. Here are some tips for finding a reputable and qualified roofing contractor.

1. Make sure to see some work that they have done. Check out their site or ask them for pictures of recent jobs.

2. Make sure they have an actual permanent address and not just a P.O. Box. A fly by night roofer is definitely not the company you want to hire.

3. They should also have a business license.

4. It’s very important that they are insured as well. If a worker falls or has an accident on your roof, it could lead to a lawsuit. Make sure that the contractor you hire is insured and can provide proof of being insured.

5. When they provide their estimate it should be detailed and describe the materials used, labor costs and warranty specifications.

6. Ask what they specialize in. It’s important to know what products and materials they are familiar with, especially if you are going with something other than shingles for your roof.

Following these guidelines will help make sure that you hire professionals for your job, which in turn provides you with peace of mind. And who couldn’t use that?

Single-Ply Roofing

If you haven't thought about singly-ply roofing, take out a magnifying glass and take a closer look. Single-ply roofing applications have made a quantum-leap in their technology.

Unlike copper roofing and composite roofing that has no membrane, single-ply's membrane like Hypalon, PVC, EPDM and TPO, is gaining more benefits and moving the "cool" roofing industry in an upward trend. These membrane structures are making energy conservation easy and because of it, you can earn a tax credit of to $1500.

That energy conservation isn't the only great benefits to single-ply, single-ply is also very flexible. Single-ply roofing cost is fairly reasonable and it's easy to install. This is not only true for residential roofing installations, but commercial roofing installations as well.

So how do you know which roofing membrane to choose? Here is a brief overview of the different types of single-ply roofing membranes.

Hypalon is a synthetic rubber. Because of that, hypalon is very durable and resistant to chemicals. Why is that good? Essentially it means that extreme temperatures or the sun’s rays won’t have much of an effect on a hypalon single-ply roof.

PVC is plastic. PVC makes single-ply stronger and resistant to fire. When things start to heat up, PVC won’t buckle!

TPO is a polymer and a mix between alloys and synthetic rubber. This combination makes TPO roofing durable and quick to install.

EPDM is very interesting as well. EPDM is known to be able to handle the weather well and that’s because it is made of a polymer like TPO.

These are the basic elements of single-ply roofing. If the idea of having a long lasting and energy efficient roof appeals to you then contact Alpine Roofing for your roofing estimate today.

Benefits of Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is one of the best improvements you can make to your home. The benefits of a metal roof go far beyond the energy savings that are associated with them.

Most roofing specialists will recommend a metal roof if you are looking for a durable and tough roof that is capable of handling strong storms and inclement weather. It's commonly used in areas that see tornadoes and hurricanes.

It's also easy to keep clean and looking good. Metal roofing can come painted, unpainted or even with a natural finish similar to copper roofing. This allows home owners to update their homes appearance as well as it's value.

Metal roofing is also extremely green. It's not just energy efficient, but it's also recyclable. Some metal roofing materials are also made from a high percentage of recycled metals. It also reflects heat and will help keep your house cooler while helping to lower your energy bills.

If you are interested in learning more about metal roofing contact us for a roofing estimate. Metal roofing is a great way to improve your home, help the environment and (thanks to this years tax credits) save you money.

Choose the Right Contractor

Choosing a roofing contractor is a very important decision, that will effect you for years to come. We suggest that you investigate all of the following items before choosing a contractor for your home or business:

• The contractor you choose NEEDS to have insurance. Allowing an un-insured company to perform work on your property is a bad decision. For example, if an employee from an un-insured roofing company falls off your roof, and is injured, the property owner is likely to be the party that will be liable.
• You also need to look into the history of the company. Are they a member of the BBB? If so, do they have a good rating? The BBB is a good tool to use when selecting a roofing contractor, it can protect you from selecting someone that other customers have had a bad experience with. Alpine Roofing Construction has maintained an A rating with the Dallas, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City Better Business Bureaus.
• How much experience does this contractor have? Do they have experience with the kind of roofing system that are installing on your home? Alpine Roofing Construction has over 70 years combined experience and has been in business since the late '90s. We have crew members that have abundant experience in nearly every type of roofing system.
