Metal Roofing in West Lafayette, Indiana

Metal Roofing in West Lafayette means roofing built for the Indiana climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Indiana heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your West Lafayette Roof Needs Metal Roofing

• The shingle roof is over 15 years old - the replacement time in the heat
• High cooling bills in the summer - the metal reflects the heat
• Frequent storm damage repairs - the metal resists the wind uplift
• The roof faces the full Indiana sun - the metal handles the UV
• You want the one-time roof - the metal lasts 40-60 years

Why West Lafayette Roofs Need Metal Roofing

The wind rating is the main reason. The standing seam metal is rated for the storm wind and the panels are attached for the uplift.

The longevity is the second reason. The metal roof lasts 40-60 years. The shingle roof lasts 15-20 years.

How We Do Metal Roofing in West Lafayette

1. Inspect the roof structure - check the deck and the framing
2. Install the underlayment - the synthetic underlayment for the water protection
3. Install the standing seam panels - the metal panels with the concealed fasteners
4. Seam the panels - the machine-crimped seams for the watertight joints
5. Flash the penetrations - the chimney, the vents, and the skylights

Preventing Problems in West Lafayette

• Inspect the seams each spring - the thermal cycling stresses the joints
• Check the flashing at the penetrations - the seals dry out in the heat
• Clean the gutters regularly - the debris holds the moisture
• Use the cool-roof coating - the coating reflects the heat and extends the life

The metal roof in West Lafayette is the smart long-term choice. The standing seam handles the storm wind and the cool-roof coating reflects the Indiana sun. The investment pays for itself over the decades.
