...So I was noodling around with the above image as preliminary work for a piece of Middle Kingdoms concept art that's going to illustrate a chapter-heading rubric from The Door Into Sunset. And while working on it, I belatedly realized that to correctly set up that scene, I was first going to have to tear up the entire left-hand side of the image (and the space beyond it), because the new covered fish market I had in mind wasn't going to fit in the space.

So I rolled my eyes at myself (I should have seen this coming...), got busy tearing it up, and then built the fish market. It's very loosely based, as I think I mentioned somewhere here earlier, on the famous Vismarkt, the covered fishmarket in the center of Brugge in Belgium (a.k.a. Bruges). (Image via Carto.net.)

Back in medieval times, right through to the Renaissance and beyond, fish was originally sold in Bruges in the open, from wooden pallets. But other stallholders in the main market complained about the smell, and the fish-sellers themselves weren't happy with the venue: selling such perishable goods out in the broad (and often hot) daylight was suboptimal. A permanent, covered place for the fishmongers' stalls makes more sense. Yet at the same time, you want decent light on what you're selling or buying... just not direct sun.

Choosing the architecture for a market like this in Darthis city was also going to be an issue. The Vismarkt was installed in a new dedicated market square in 1821, with the architect opting for a Victorian-cum-Classical look: not something that would make sense in this alternate Earth—if I was seriously considering a straightforward copy, which I wasn't. However, the Darthene architectural aesthetic does contain both building styles very like our Romanesque style, and elements similarly reminiscent of Gothic. (Though in the Middle Kingdoms the AU-Romanesque wasn't abandoned when the kinda-Gothic came in, but coexists with it).

After I'd given the situation some thought, I found myself wanting something that drew on those two traditions... or would maybe kind of split the difference between them: a building open on all sides that would be relatively light and airy, recalling a tent or canopy. This kind of design's unquestionably made a lot easier in that universe by the availability of magic-workers able to pull stone out of the ground without excavation, and also able to fashion it into the desired shapes without the use of physical tools. So finally I settled on a broad, vaguely Gothic-styled cross or groined vault as the preferred shape for the roofs: then rummaged around to see what I could find in the local toolkit that would enable me to build it.

Semi-plan view:

Diagonal side view:

(Please note that all of these images are the result of the digital version of kitbashing, as I don’t currently have anything like the skills to create shapes like these in Blender.)

Better lighting in this case is fortunately a materials-technology issue, long since solved on our own Earth. The stone of the roof segments is what architects now would refer to as an "alabastrite marble", about an inch thick—light enough to need relatively little in the way of external supports, and thin enough to transmit light readily. This marble's name comes (probably obviously enough) from alabaster, which has been used on and off in European church windows since medieval times as an affordable alternative to glass, in times and places where that’s been expensive.

This approach has had occasional revivals in modern our-Earth architecture. However, since alabaster is only useful in relatively small pieces, and is vulnerable to heat and moisture, it's often replaced by thin-cut marble set in metal frameworks. One good example of this would be the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale. (image via Amusing Planet)

The thin-cut Vermont marble transmits light safely without endangering the documents. But sometimes genuine alabaster has been used, too: the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles features tens of thousands of panes of it. (image via Expedia)

The equivalent use of marble in the royal Arlene library rr'Virendir, in Prydon city—replacing much ancient glass destroyed during the earthquakes accompanying the last battle of the Great War—is probably where the Darthene authorities got the idea for this implementation. And since the marble used in this construction would almost certainly have come from Arlen, light-colored marble being the country’s “vernacular" stone due to it being quarried all over the place there, it makes perfect sense for this marble to have been a gift of the Arlene Throne to the city of Darthis. And would also account for the presence of his grace the King over there by the market stall up against the wall, pretending to check out the produce while he also checks out the nearly-finished construction (and, idly, two of his spouses).

The Queen is after all very picky about making sure her contractors are getting things right. Yes, she jokes a lot about having lots of room in the dungeons if things go wrong... but sometimes, if you don't know her, it's hard to be sure she's joking.

Meanwhile, so far, it doesn't look too bad.

Things learned over the past couple of weeks, in between also doing other work:

Translucence is a bitch to master in Daz Studio

Certain aspects of Blender are conspiring with one another to make me scream

My rendering computer is displaying a tendency toward quirkiness in the memory department that would register as nearly endearing if I could figure out what was causing it

...But at least now that the set I need is pretty much done (except for some minor tightening, straightening, and tweaking of materials and color temperatures), I can turn my attention to the question of how to produce the rather specialized VFX required for the two shot I'm setting up. ...Yeah, all this work has been for a two shot. But that shot needs people in the background, and the right street furniture. And nature abhors an undressed set. ...See also: "the backs of the melons."

Next challenge: track down a source for heaps of digitized prawns. :)

METAL ROOFING PROS AND CONS

This is part one, of a two part series regarding Metal Roofing. With the world's weather being stranger than ever (or so it seems), we thought we would give some insights, both good and bad, into Metal Roofing. We will begin with the PROS!

PROS FOR METAL ROOFING

Metal roofing is an excellent option for most homes. Today, there are tons of options available to fit in with the design of any home, and they’re designed to be longer-lasting and more durable than other types of roofing. Some of the biggest pros to having a metal roof include the following:

LONGER LASTING

A Houston shingle roof is only going to last somewhere between 12 to 20 years, depending on the quality of materials and installation. A metal roof, however, can last between 40 to 70 years, depending on the type of metal used and the installation. Homeowners who want to save money by not having to repair or replace their roofs as frequently may consider a metal roof. They won’t have to worry about any repairs or replacements for quite a while. 

FAR MORE DURABLE

The durability of roofing is crucial, especially in cities like Galveston, TX, where severe storms and hurricanes are possible. Metal roofs can sustain higher winds, up to 140 miles per hour, when they’re installed properly and can be resistant to impact, which certainly occur. It is still crucial to inspect them occasionally of course, as to make sure everything is holding up properly, but the roof won’t corrode or crack, making it an excellent option when durability is required. 

SAFER THAN OTHER MATERIALS

Wildfires and lightning strikes can happen at any time as well. When they do, shingle roofing can ignite from small sparks, leading to a house fire. Metal roofing, however, is safer. It’s not going to spark or ignite into flames, so it can help protect the home further from significant damage. 

MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT

Take homeowners in Bunker Hill Village, TX, for example. They know just how hot the area can get. Metal roofs are designed to help reflect the UV and infrared lights from the sun, keeping the entire roof cooler no matter how hot it is outside. This can result in 10 to 25% lower cooling costs, saving homeowners a significant amount of money in the long run. 

BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Metal roofs, depending on what options are chosen, can be made from recycled materials. They’re also completely recyclable when they’re replaced, unlike shingle roofs that can’t be recycled at all. Plus, since they last longer, there are fewer wasted materials used during the installation or repair of metal roofs, adding to the benefits for the environment. 

Our next post will cover the CONS of Metal Roofs. Be sure to check back, they are interesting.

Look no further! Our flat roofing contractor services are here to take the burden off your shoulders. We offer top-notch craftsmanship, excellent customer service, and competitive pricing. So sit back, relax, and let us handle all your roofing needs!

What is a flat roof?

A flat roof is a type of roofing system that has a uniform and level surface. The term “flat” is used in reference to the horizontal plane rather than the sloped or pitched roofs commonly seen on residential and commercial buildings. While most flat roofs are indeed flat, there is usually a slight gradient or pitch to the surface in order for water to drain off.

What are the benefits of a flat roof?

A flat roof has a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for many homeowners and businesses. For one, flat roofs are much easier to maintain than pitched roofs. They don't require as much regular upkeep and can last for decades with proper care. Flat roofs also provide a great deal of usable space on top of the building that can be utilized for storage, solar panels, or even outdoor entertaining areas. Additionally, flat roofs tend to be more energy-efficient than pitched roofs since they reflect heat better in the summer and retain heat in the winter.

What are the different types of flat roofs?

There are four main types of flat roofs: built-up roofing, single-ply membrane roofing, spray foam roofing, and metal roofing. Built-Up Roofing: Built-up roofing is one of the most common types of flat roofs. It is made up of multiple layers of tar and gravel that are applied over a base layer of felt or fabric. This type of roofing is very durable and can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Single-Ply Membrane Roofing: Single-ply membrane roofing is a newer type of flat roof that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It consists of a single layer of synthetic material (usually PVC or TPO) that is applied directly to the deck. This type of roofing is very easy to install and repair, and it can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Spray Foam Roofing: Spray foam roofing is another newer type of flat roof that has gained popularity in recent years. It consists of spraying a layer of polyurethane foam directly onto the deck. This type of roofing provides excellent insulation and can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Metal Roofing: Metal roofing is another option for flat roofs. Metal roofs are made from steel, aluminum, or copper and can last for 50 years or more with proper maintenance.

How to choose a flat roofing contractor

When it comes to choosing a flat roofing contractor, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. First, you'll want to make sure that the contractor is licensed and insured. This will protect you in case of any damages that may occur during the roofing process. Secondly, you'll want to ask for references from previous clients. This will give you an idea of the quality of work that the contractor is capable of. Finally, you'll want to get a written estimate from the contractor before starting any work. This will help ensure that there are no hidden costs or surprises down the line. By following these simple tips, you can be sure that you'll find a qualified and reputable flat roofing contractor to take care of your roofing needs.

How to care for your flat roof

Assuming you have a flat roof on your home, here are some tips on how to take care of it: -check the roof regularly for any debris or leaves that may have accumulated -if there is any standing water on the roof, be sure to clean it up as soon as possible as this can lead to mold or mildew growth -keep an eye out for any cracks or holes in the roof and repair them as soon as possible -have a professional roofing contractor inspect and clean your roof at least once a year

Conclusion

Flat roofs are a great choice for homeowners looking to save money on their roofing costs. With the right flat roofing contractor services, you can get quality workmanship that will last for years and keep your property looking its best. If you're in need of an experienced roofer to install or repair your flat roof, make sure to do some research and find a reputable professional who can provide reliable services at an affordable price.

I got up on the roof this morning so I could take a look at the exterior of the skylight, and also go into the attic for the first time and see if one or the other would show some obvious signs of trouble re: the tiny skylight leak.

Well, as it turns out, yes. There's loads of places around the edge of the skylight where the flashing is pulling away from the skylight - the whole thing looks a mess, honestly, and I'm afraid that I might have to take a lot of flashing off in order to fix it properly (what were they even DOING, why is there such a large piece of . . . sheet metal? involved? did they superduper fuck up the installation in some fashion and this is in lieu of proper roofing?? I'm afraid to find out; I'm afraid I will have to find out.) So that's probably going to be a fairly involved process and I need to do some research into flashing and . . . stuff.

Inside the attic, it took me a couple trips in and out but I eventually located the spot where the full bath fan is venting, directly to the inside of the attic (I knew it was, there's no vent visible on the roof or exterior wall), which it should NOT, but I suppose that's a relatively minor problem, and installing more vent hose and such is a thing I'm going to put off for another time.

I also saw the underside of a roof patch, and on the edge of that patch I saw many points of light (: (: (: Because the fuckers who installed it didn't overlap the patch material with the original roof, they either cut it a little too narrow, or maybe said "well, the edges touch, we'll just spread some tar or caulk right over it, that'll work, right" and I'm sure it did! But it's old now and there's holes in it!!

So. Why didn't the house inspector I hired mention this? I cannot believe all that wear, all those holes in the caulk, only showed up in the last 11 months, that seems wildly improbable. Did he not notice? Or did he just decide to note that the roof was in good shape, no signs of water damage from leaks, along with the photos of the wood, and . . . not mention that this fucking needs to be fixed???

This will probably be easier to take care of than the skylight mess - I have two pieces of roofing material, one of which is entirely whole AND larger than the existing patch, and this metal roofing seems to only require the right kind of screws to install. Again, research required, because maybe I also need to put some kind of caulk or sealant around the edges, but *fingers crossed* it ought to be pretty fucking simple.

Residential Roofing - What You Need to Know

alt="Residential asphalt shingle roofing system installation"

Prevent having your residential roofing system improperly installed or assembled with poor-quality material. Knowing how components of a residential roofing system are made and installed will help you acquire the best quality residential roof and its installation in the Atlanta metro area.

newimageroofingatlanta.com gathered the following residential roof anatomy, manufacturing, and installation information to help you when selecting a roofing system, its components, and the roof installer for your Atlanta, Georgia, home.

Residential Sloped Roofing System

A residential sloped roof is a protective shield for your home, safeguarding you from the elements while increasing your home’s structural integrity. An essential component of the roofing system is the shingle (a key component that enhances your home’s aesthetic appeal and contributes to the durability and longevity of its roof). Consider the following anatomy of a residential sloped roof:

1. Roof Deck – A sloped roof’s foundation is its deck, typically made of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). It provides a sturdy base for the installation of roofing materials and ensures structural stability.

2. Underlayment – Beneath the roofing shingles lies the underlayment, a water-resistant barrier shielding the roof deck from moisture and helps prevent leaks. Common underlayment types include asphalt-saturated felt and synthetic materials like synthetic underlayment or rubberized asphalt.

3. Roofing Shingles – Roofing shingles are the visible layer of a residential sloped roof, providing protection and enhancing the overall aesthetics. There are various shingle types available, like asphalt shingles, wood shingles, metal shingles, and clay or concrete tiles. Among these, asphalt shingles are the most commonly used due to their affordability, durability, and ease of installation (specially cut or formed shingles are produced for the ridge and hips).

Asphalt Shingle Manufacturing Process

While asphalt shingle manufacturing and technology have evolved over the years, their basic composition has remained the same. Consider the following asphalt shingle manufacturing process:

Raw Materials – Asphalt shingle production begins with high-quality material selection. Fiberglass or organic mats serve as a shingle’s core, while asphalt acts as a waterproofing agent. Mineral granules are then applied for surface protection and UV resistance, and additives are incorporated to enhance the shingle’s fire resistance and flexibility.

Mat Preparation – The selected mat material (fiberglass or organic), undergoes a manufacturing process to reinforce its strength and durability. Fiberglass mats are made by weaving glass fibers together, while organic mats are typically composed of recycled felt paper.

Coating and Drying – The prepared mat is then coated with asphalt (front and back), using a saturation process to ensure consistent coverage. The coated mat passes through a drying oven, which allows the asphalt to rapidly cure and stabilize.

Granule Application – Once dried, the coated mat proceeds to the granule application process. A layer of ceramic-coated mineral granules is evenly distributed on the top surface of the shingle, providing color, texture, and protection against weathering elements. The granules are embedded into the asphalt surface to enhance adhesion and durability.

Cutting and Shaping – After granule application, the asphalt-coated mat is cut into individual shingles. This process can be done manually or using automated machinery, depending on the production scale.

Packaging and Distribution – Finished roofing shingles are carefully inspected for quality and packed into bundles or cartons. They are then shipped to distributors, contractors, and suppliers for installation on residential roofs.

Note: Read more about roofing shingle production and options by visiting this roof shingle manufacturer.

Residential Sloped Roof Installation

Installing a residential shingle roofing system requires careful planning, proper preparation, and skilled execution. Here is a step-by-step overview of the typical installation process:

Preparation and Safety – Before beginning any work, safety must be prioritized. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like:

Hard hat

Gloves

Goggles

Non-slip footwear

Harness

The area around the home should be cleared of any obstacles, and precautions should be taken to protect landscaping and outdoor features or furniture.

Removal of Existing Roofing Materials (Tear-off) – If there is an existing roof, the first step is to remove the old roofing materials. This may involve stripping off old shingles, underlayment, and flashing. Care should be taken to dispose of the old materials properly.

Inspection and Repair – Once the roof is cleared, a thorough inspection should be conducted to identify any damaged roof decking, sheathing, or structural issues. Any necessary repairs or replacements should be completed before installing a new roofing system.

Underlayment Installation – Install the underlayment, which acts as a moisture barrier and provides an additional protective layer. Asphalt-saturated felt or synthetic underlayment is commonly used. The underlayment should be rolled out horizontally, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and overlapping each subsequent row by a few inches (to ensure proper watershed).

Flashing Installation – Flashing is used to prevent water penetration at vulnerable areas like:

Valleys

Chimneys

Skylights

Roof intersections

Flashing is typically made of metal or a flexible waterproof material. Flashing should be installed before the shingles, ensuring proper coverage, sealing, and drainage.

Starter Shingle Placement – These shingles have a specialized adhesive strip and are installed along the roof’s eaves. These specialized shingles provide a secure foundation for the rest of the shingles and help prevent wind uplift.

Shingle Installation – The chosen shingles are installed from the bottom up, working in rows. Each shingle is nailed or stapled into place using appropriate roofing fasteners. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding nail placement, spacing, and shingle overlap (for best product performance).

Ventilation and Ridge Cap Installation – Roof vents or ridge vents are installed to ensure proper attic ventilation preventing moisture buildup, allow air circulation, and help regulate temperature and humidity. The ridge cap, a specialized shingle designed for the roof’s peak, is then installed, overlapping the adjacent shingles and providing a solid, finished look.

Cleanup and Final Inspection – Once the roof’s shingles are installed, the work area should be thoroughly cleaned, removing all debris or loose material. A final inspection should be conducted to ensure the roof is properly installed, all shingles are secure, and there are no visible issues or gaps.

Note: The specific installation process may vary depending on factors like the shingle type, roof design, and local building codes. It is recommended to consult with a professional roofing contractor for a precise installation or replacement tailored to your specific roof and location requirements. A well-installed residential shingle roofing system provides long-lasting protection, durability, and aesthetic appeal to your home.

Residential Asphalt Shingle Roofing

In this article, you discovered the composition of a residential roofing system, asphalt shingle manufacturing, and how residential sloped roofs are installed.

Understanding how residential roofing systems are built, manufactured, and installed will help you choose the best materials for your home’s roof.

Not knowing how to recognize quality roofing material or identify the steps in a roof replacement or installation will leave you vulnerable to unscrupulous and unprofessional roofers trying to take advantage of your need.

Roor Repair from fixing Leaks to Replacing damaged

Introduction

Are you tired of constantly worrying about leaks and damages to your roof? Has your roof seen better days and in need of some serious repair? Fear not, as we have got you covered! In this blog post, we will take you through everything you need to know about repairing your roof. From fixing pesky leaks that are causing water damage to replacing severely damaged sections of the roof, we've got all the tips and tricks to ensure that your home is safe from any future disasters. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of roofing repairs together!

Causes of Roof Leaks

One of the most common causes of roof leaks is damaged or missing shingles. Strong winds can cause shingles to break or come loose, leaving your roof vulnerable to water damage. Another common cause of roof leaks is clogged gutters. When gutters are full of debris, they can’t properly drain water away from your roof, which can lead to leaks. Ice dams are another common cause of roof leaks. When snow and ice build up on your roof, they can form a dam that prevents water from draining properly. This can cause water to back up under your shingles and cause a leak.

How to Repair a Roof Leak

When it comes to roof repair, there are a few things you need to take into account. First, you need to determine the location of the leak. Second, you need to assess the damage and decide if you can repair it or if you need to replace the damaged section. And third, you need to choose the right materials for the job. If you have a roof leak, the first thing you should do is try to locate the source of the leak. If you can't find it, then you should call a professional roofer to come and take a look. Once you've located the leak, you need to determine the extent of the damage. If it's just a small leak, then you might be able to patch it up with some sealant or caulk. However, if the damage is more extensive, then you'll likely need to replace the damaged section of your roof. When choosing materials for your roof repair, make sure that they are compatible with your existing roofing material. For example, if you have a shingle roof, then using tar paper and asphalt shingles for your repairs will blend in nicely. But if your roof is made of metal or tile, then using different materials will make your repairs more noticeable. Also, be sure to use materials that are rated for outdoor use so that they can withstand weather and other elements.

How to Replace Damaged Roofing Materials

If your roof is damaged, you'll need to replace the damaged materials. Here's how to do it: 1. Remove the damaged shingles or tiles. Use a pry bar to remove the nails holding the shingle or tile in place.then, lift the shingle or tile off of the roof. 2. Cut out the damaged area of the roof decking. Use a saw to cut out the damaged section of plywood or other roof decking material. Be sure to make the cut as straight as possible. 3. Install new shingles or tiles in the damaged area. Nail the new shingle or tile into place, then apply roofing cement to seal around it. Repeat this process until the damage is repaired. https://therooftechnician.ca/our-services/roof-repair/

Conclusion

We hope this article has given you a better understanding of the different types of roof repairs that can be done and how to go about fixing them. Whether you need to fix a leak, repair damage or completely replace your roof, knowing what is involved in each type of job is important for making sure your home stays safe and secure. Be sure to consult with a professional if you are not comfortable attempting any sort of roof repair yourself. With the right knowledge and materials, even more serious kinds of repairs can be handled easily and affordably.

Comprehensive Guide to Roof Replacement in Minneapolis: What Homeowners Need to Know

The roof is one of the most critical components of your home, and in a city like Minneapolis, where the weather can be extreme, maintaining a durable and functional roof is crucial. From heavy snowfall in winter to summer storms, your roof takes a beating throughout the year. Over time, wear and tear can lead to the need for a roof replacement.

In this article, we will cover everything Minneapolis homeowners need to know about Roof Replacement Minneapolis, including the ideal time to replace your roof, the most common roofing materials, and tips for choosing the right contractor.

Why Roof Replacement is Essential in Minneapolis

Minneapolis experiences a unique range of weather patterns, from frigid winters to humid summers. These seasonal shifts can cause significant stress on your roof. Freezing and thawing cycles, heavy snow, and ice dams in winter, followed by summer rainstorms, can all contribute to the deterioration of roofing materials. A failing roof can lead to costly water damage, mold growth, and higher energy bills if not addressed promptly.

Signs That Your Roof Needs Replacement

Not sure if your roof needs replacing? Here are key indicators to watch for:

Age of Roof: Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 to 25 years. If your roof is nearing this age, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Damaged or Missing Shingles: Curled, cracked, or missing shingles can be signs of extensive wear that require a new roof.

Leaks and Water Damage: Water stains on your ceiling or walls indicate that your roof may no longer be watertight.

Sagging Roof Deck: If you notice parts of your roof sagging, this could signal structural damage that needs immediate attention.

Popular Roofing Materials for Minneapolis Homes

There are several roofing materials to choose from when replacing a roof in Minneapolis. Each offers different benefits in terms of durability, cost, and aesthetics

Asphalt Shingles: Affordable and easy to install, asphalt shingles are the most popular option for homeowners. They are durable and can withstand Minneapolis’ harsh weather when properly maintained.

Metal Roofing: Metal roofs are increasingly popular due to their long lifespan, energy efficiency, and ability to shed snow easily. They are a more expensive upfront option but offer durability that can last 40 to 70 years.

Wood Shingles/Shakes: Wood offers a classic, natural look but is more susceptible to fire and moisture damage. Regular maintenance is required to keep it in good condition.

Slate Roofing: Known for its elegant appearance and longevity, slate roofs can last 100 years or more. However, slate is among the priciest roofing materials and requires expert installation.

Rubber Roofing (EPDM): For flat or low-slope roofs, rubber roofing is a durable, flexible, and waterproof option.

Best Time for Roof Replacement in Minneapolis

The best time to replace a roof in Minneapolis is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Roofing contractors prefer to work when temperatures are moderate, as extreme cold can make materials like asphalt shingles more brittle and difficult to install. Summer allows for efficient installation and ensures that adhesives set correctly, but autumn can also be a good option if you want to avoid peak roofing season.

How to Choose a Roof Replacement Contractor

Selecting a reputable contractor is crucial for ensuring the job is done correctly. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right contractor

Licensed and Insured: Make sure the contractor is licensed to work in Minneapolis and has adequate insurance coverage.

Experience: Opt for a contractor with extensive experience in roof replacements, especially in Minneapolis’ climate.

References and Reviews: Ask for references from previous clients and read online reviews to gauge the contractor’s reputation.

Warranty and Materials: A quality contractor should offer a workmanship warranty and use high-quality materials with manufacturer warranties.

Detailed Estimate: Request a detailed written estimate that outlines all costs, including labor, materials, and any potential additional fees.

Roof Replacement Costs in Minneapolis

The cost of roof replacement in Minneapolis varies depending on the size of your roof, the materials you choose, and the contractor’s rates. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $7,000 and $15,000 for a full roof replacement. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable, while metal, slate, and other premium materials will increase costs.

What Kind of Hail Will Damage a Roof?

Hailstorms can be incredibly destructive, especially for your roof. Whether you own a home or manage a commercial building, understanding how different types of hail can damage your roof is crucial. Roof damage caused by hail varies depending on the size, speed, and density of the hailstones, as well as the type of roofing material on your property. In Alabama, where hailstorms are not uncommon, this type of damage can lead to the need for urgent repairs or even a full roof replacement.

In this blog, we’ll explore what kind of hail can damage your roof, how different roofing materials respond to hail, and why it’s important to work with professional roofers for roof damage repair in Alabama. We’ll also cover the best ways to protect your roof from hail damage and how to handle emergency situations.

» What Size of Hail Causes Roof Damage?

When it comes to hail, size matters. Not all hail will damage your roof, but as hailstones increase in size, so does their potential to cause harm.

Small Hail (Less than 1 inch in diameter) Hailstones smaller than an inch are generally less likely to cause significant damage to a roof, especially if the roofing material is sturdy. However, even small hail can lead to minor issues like granule loss on asphalt shingles. Over time, this can weaken the shingles and make your roof more vulnerable to future storms.

Medium Hail (1 to 1.75 inches in diameter) Hailstones in this range are more likely to cause visible damage, particularly on shingles. You may notice dents, cracks, or broken edges. For homes with shingle roofs, especially older ones, this size of hail can lead to leaks and other issues requiring Shingle Roof Repair in Alabama. If your roof is made of metal, medium-sized hail can still cause dents, but these may not affect the structural integrity of the roof. However, cosmetic damage can occur, particularly in more visible areas.

Large Hail (Greater than 1.75 inches in diameter) Hailstones larger than 1.75 inches can cause significant roof damage, even to more durable materials like Metal Roofing in Alabama. Large hailstones have the potential to puncture roofing materials, tear shingles, and even cause damage to underlayment layers. For commercial properties, large hail can be especially problematic, leading to extensive damage that requires the services of Commercial Roofing Contractors in Alabama.

» How Different Roofing Materials Respond to Hail

Roofing materials are not all created equal, and some are more resistant to hail damage than others. Let’s explore how different types of roofing respond to hail.

1. Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are one of the most common roofing materials used in Residential Roofing in Alabama. While they are cost-effective and relatively easy to install, they are not as durable against hail as other materials. Even medium-sized hailstones can cause dents, granule loss, and cracks in shingles, which often leads to the need for Shingle Roofing Contractors in Alabama to step in and make repairs. Over time, these damages can result in roof leaks, which may require a complete Roof Replacement in Alabama.

2. Metal Roofing

Metal roofs are known for their durability and are a popular choice for both residential and Commercial Roofing in Alabama. However, even Metal Roofing Contractors in Alabama know that metal roofs are not completely immune to hail damage. While metal can withstand smaller hailstones, larger ones can leave noticeable dents and, in some cases, cause punctures. Cosmetic damage is also a concern, but metal roofs are generally more resistant to severe structural damage compared to asphalt shingles.

3. Tile Roofing

Tile roofs are less common in Alabama but are incredibly durable when it comes to withstanding hail damage. Small to medium-sized hail typically won’t damage tile roofs, but larger hailstones can cause cracks or chips in individual tiles. If left unaddressed, these cracks can lead to leaks or other more serious problems that require Roofing Contractors in Alabama to repair or replace damaged tiles.

» Why You Need a Professional Roofing Company in Alabama for Hail Damage

If your roof has been damaged by hail, it’s essential to contact local roofing contractors in Alabama as soon as possible. Delaying repairs can lead to further damage, such as leaks, mold, and structural issues. Working with an experienced Roofing Company in Alabama ensures that your roof is inspected properly and that any necessary repairs are made before the damage worsens.

Hiring professionals for Roof Damage Repair in Alabama offers several benefits:

Expert Inspection Professional roofers can assess the extent of the damage and determine whether you need repairs or a full roof replacement.

Quick Repairs In many cases, you may need emergency roof repair in Alabama to prevent further issues. Professional contractors can act quickly to ensure your home or commercial property is protected.

Insurance Claims Navigating insurance claims for hail damage can be complicated. An experienced roofer will help document the damage and assist in filing claims, making the process smoother.

» How to Protect Your Roof from Hail Damage

While you can’t stop a hailstorm, there are steps you can take to minimize damage to your roof.

Choose Durable Materials If you live in a hail-prone area like Alabama, consider investing in more durable roofing materials like metal or impact-resistant shingles. Shingle Roofing Companies in Alabama can guide you on the best materials for your specific needs.

Regular Maintenance Routine inspections and maintenance are key to keeping your roof in good condition. Regularly working with Roof Repair Companies in Alabama can help identify weak spots that may be more susceptible to hail damage.

Emergency Preparedness Have a plan in place for handling severe weather. This includes knowing who to call for emergency roofer contractors in Alabama if you experience significant hail damage.

» Final Thoughts: Choosing the Best Roofing Company in Alabama for Hail Damage

When dealing with hail damage, it’s essential to hire the best roofing company in Alabama for the job. Whether you need quick repairs or a complete roof replacement, working with professional contractors ensures your roof is restored to its full strength.

Look for roofers who specialize in both residential roofing in Alabama and commercial roofing Alabama.

Steel Roof Replacement Cost: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to replacing your roof, one of the most important considerations is cost. Among the various roofing materials available, steel roofs have emerged as a durable, long-lasting option that offers numerous benefits. But how much does a steel roof replacement cost, and what factors influence that price? In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about steel roof replacement costs, the factors that influence pricing, and why choosing a reliable contractor like Quality Allied Roofing & Remodeling can make all the difference in your investment.

What is a Steel Roof?

A steel roof is a roofing system made from metal sheets or tiles. Steel is often coated with a protective layer, such as zinc or aluminum, to resist rust and increase its longevity. Steel roofs are known for their durability, longevity, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather conditions, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties.

There are several types of steel roofs, including:

Galvanized Steel: Coated with zinc to protect against corrosion.

Galvalume Steel: Coated with a combination of aluminum and zinc for enhanced durability.

Stainless Steel: Known for its corrosion resistance and longevity, although it is often more expensive.

Factors That Affect Steel Roof Replacement Costs

The total cost of replacing a steel roof depends on several factors. While steel roofs are generally more expensive upfront compared to asphalt shingles, they can offer long-term savings in maintenance and energy efficiency. Here's a breakdown of the key factors that will affect the overall steel roof replacement cost.

1. Roof Size

The larger the roof, the more material and labor will be required to complete the replacement. Roofing materials are typically priced by the square foot, so the size of your roof will directly influence the final cost.

2. Type of Steel

As mentioned earlier, there are different types of steel roofs, and each type comes with its own price point. For example, galvanized steel is typically less expensive than stainless steel, but stainless steel may last longer and offer better corrosion resistance.

3. Labor Costs

Labor is a significant component of any roof replacement project. The complexity of the job, accessibility of the roof, and local labor rates will all influence labor costs. Steel roofing can sometimes require specialized installation skills, particularly with more complex designs, which may increase labor costs.

4. Roof Pitch and Design

The pitch (angle) of your roof and the complexity of the design can also affect the cost. Steep or intricately designed roofs are more challenging to install, requiring more time and skill from the roofing crew. This can lead to higher labor costs.

5. Removal of Existing Roof

If your existing roof needs to be removed before installing a new steel roof, that will add to the total cost. Some steel roofs can be installed over an existing roof, depending on the condition of the old roofing material and local building codes, which may reduce expenses.

6. Geographic Location

The cost of roofing materials and labor can vary significantly based on where you live. Areas with higher costs of living will generally have higher steel roof replacement costs.

7. Additional Features

Additional features like skylights, chimneys, and roof vents can complicate the installation process and increase the overall cost. These elements often require additional flashing and sealing, which can add to labor and material costs.

8. Permits and Inspections

Depending on local regulations, you may need to obtain permits and have your roof inspected during the installation process. These costs vary by location and can add several hundred dollars to your total.

The Average Cost of Steel Roof Replacement

On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $10,000 and $25,000 for a steel roof replacement, with most paying around $15,000. However, this range can vary based on the factors outlined above. Here’s a rough breakdown of the costs:

Materials: $3 to $10 per square foot

Labor: $2 to $6 per square foot

Total Cost: $5 to $16 per square foot

For a 2,000-square-foot home, the total cost would range from $10,000 to $32,000. Keep in mind that these are average estimates, and the actual cost may be higher or lower depending on your specific project.

Benefits of Steel Roofs

While steel roofs may have a higher upfront cost than some other roofing materials, they offer numerous long-term benefits that make them a worthwhile investment.

1. Durability

Steel roofs can last 40 to 70 years, depending on the type of steel and the quality of installation. This is significantly longer than traditional asphalt shingles, which typically need to be replaced every 20 to 25 years.

2. Energy Efficiency

Steel roofs reflect more sunlight than asphalt shingles, which can help reduce cooling costs during the summer. Many steel roofs are also compatible with solar panel installations, making them a great option for homeowners looking to boost their energy efficiency.

3. Weather Resistance

Steel roofs are resistant to extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and high winds. They are also fire-resistant, offering additional protection for your home.

4. Low Maintenance

Steel roofs require very little maintenance compared to other roofing materials. They are less likely to crack, warp, or suffer from mold and mildew, reducing the need for costly repairs over time.

5. Eco-Friendly

Steel roofing materials are often made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life cycle. This makes steel roofs a more environmentally friendly option than traditional asphalt shingles.

Why Choose Quality Allied Roofing & Remodeling?

Choosing the right contractor for your steel roof replacement is crucial to ensuring a successful installation that will last for decades. Quality Allied Roofing & Remodeling offers several advantages that make them the top choice for homeowners and businesses looking for reliable, high-quality roofing services.

1. Experience

With years of experience in the roofing industry, Quality Allied Roofing & Remodeling has built a reputation for delivering excellent workmanship and top-tier customer service. Their team is skilled in the installation of various roofing materials, including steel roofs.

Conclusion

Replacing your roof is a significant investment, and choosing a steel roof offers many advantages in terms of durability, energy efficiency, and long-term savings.

By considering the factors that influence the overall cost and selecting a reliable contractor like Quality Allied Roofing & Remodeling, you can ensure a smooth, stress-free process that adds value to your home or business.
