Why Metal Roofing Is Gaining Popularity

Energy Efficiency of Metal Roofs

Metal roofing stands out for its impressive energy efficiency. Equipped with reflective coatings, these roofs deflect sunlight, minimizing heat transfer into your home or building. Their low thermal mass further enhances comfort by dissipating heat, ensuring a cooler interior year-round.

Noise Considerations with Metal Roofs

Dispelling common misconceptions, metal roofs are surprisingly quiet, even during rain showers. Thanks to their installation over sound-reducing decking, they often create less noise than traditional roofing materials. When professionally installed, you can expect metal roofs to offer comparable or even superior noise reduction compared to conventional options.

Versatility of Metal Roofing

Offering versatility for both residential and commercial properties, metal roofs come in various materials like aluminum, copper, and steel, with a multitude of design options including corrugated panels and standing seam profiles. With such versatility, it's no wonder why metal roofs are the preferred choice for a wide range of applications.

 

Varieties of Metal Roofs We Offer

Total Exteriors specializes in installing a wide range of metal roofing options tailored to meet your specific needs. Discover the perfect fit among our selection:

Corrugated Metal Roofing

Characterized by its distinctive wavy pattern, corrugated metal roofs excel in efficiently shedding rain, snow, and ice throughout the year. Lightweight and easy to install, these panels provide superior roof protection without adding undue stress to your building's structure.
 

Standing-Seam Metal Roofing

Standing seam roofs feature vertical metal panels running seamlessly from ridge to eaves, with raised seams concealing fasteners underneath. Not only do they offer an attractive option for residential properties, but they also ensure long-term durability by safeguarding fasteners from weathering.
 

Exposed Fasteners

For a cost-effective metal roofing solution, consider options with exposed fasteners. Despite their simplicity, these roofs are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions and extreme temperatures, ensuring longevity and reliable performance over the years.


Metal Shingles

Achieve a sleek and modern aesthetic with metal shingles, crafted from high-quality materials resistant to external elements. With a diverse range of colors and styles available, metal shingles can be customized to complement any architectural design, making them a versatile and appealing roofing option.
Cedar Roofing

Discover the Timeless Elegance of Cedar Roofs

Cedar roofs stand as an excellent investment choice for homeowners seeking an appealing, eco-friendly aesthetic for their homes. We admire how cedar roofs impart a unique, natural charm, setting homes and buildings apart with their unparalleled beauty. Beyond their visual appeal, cedar roofs boast impressive longevity of up to 25 years and inherent resistance to rot and pests.

Total Exteriors is your trusted provider of professional cedar roofing services. Whether you prefer cedar shakes or shingles, our team possesses the expertise and experience to ensure flawless installation, leaving you enamored with your stunning new cedar roof.

Reach out to us today to explore our diverse range of cedar roofing options. In addition to cedar roofing, Total Exteriors offers comprehensive roofing solutions, including asphalt shingles, metal, slate, and tile roofing, tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences.

Explore Our Cedar Roofing Options

Cedar roofs can be crafted in different styles, each offering unique characteristics. Here's a comparison between cedar shake roofing and cedar shingle roofing:

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shakes are hand-split, resulting in each piece being one-of-a-kind. With a textured appearance and irregular edges, cedar shakes impart a natural, rustic charm to your building. Due to their rough surface and thicker shape, cedar shakes are more durable compared to cedar shingles. However, precise installation is crucial to prevent gaps that could lead to leaks.

Cedar Shingle Roofing

Cedar shingles feature a thinner, uniform appearance in contrast to cedar shakes. Typically cut from the same piece of cedar, they provide a clean, contemporary aesthetic for your roof. Many find cedar shingles to be versatile and complementary to various architectural styles. Their uniform shape also makes them easier to install with more predictable results.

Why Opt for Cedar Roofing?

Durability of Cedar Roofs

Cedar roofs exhibit remarkable durability against adverse weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rains. Treated to be fire-resistant and finished with stains and sealants, cedar roofs offer enhanced protection for your home, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Beauty of Cedar Roofs

Cedar roofs exude a timeless beauty unmatched by other roofing materials. While other roofs may fade or lose granules over time, cedar ages gracefully, maintaining its stunning appearance for years to come. Regardless of its age, a cedar roof enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home until it's time for replacement.

Resistance to Rot of Cedar Roofs

Cedarwood naturally contains oils and compounds that repel moisture and inhibit fungal growth. With its tight grain structure, cedarwood effectively prevents moisture penetration, making it highly resistant to rot. These qualities make cedar an exceptional choice for roofing material, ensuring your roof remains resilient and long-lasting.

Slate Roofing

Slate stands out as one of the most enduring roofing choices available, potentially serving as the final roof installation your home will ever need! Once Total Exteriors completes the installation, your home will boast a sophisticated, timeless appearance that commands attention throughout the neighborhood. Moreover, you'll enjoy the added benefits of increased property value and potential reductions in insurance premiums.

With over a decade of experience handling various roofing projects, including slate roofing, Total Exteriors possesses the expertise to assist you in selecting the perfect slate roofing material for your home and ensuring flawless installation from the outset. Trust us to leave you with a resilient, low-maintenance roof that stands the test of time.

Contact our trusted team of Rockford roofing specialists today to explore our comprehensive slate roofing options! Total Exteriors specializes in a range of residential roofing solutions, including tile, asphalt shingle, cedar, slate, and metal roofing.

Explore Our Slate Roofing Options

Natural Slate

Crafted from metamorphic rocks split into sheets, natural slate roofs offer exceptional durability, including fire resistance. Renowned for their stunning aesthetics, natural slate roofs enhance the visual appeal of any home they adorn. However, due to their weight, installing natural slate requires careful consideration of your building's structural integrity. Our experts can assess whether your property can support a natural slate roof.

Synthetic Slate

Constructed from premium plastic and rubber materials, synthetic slate roofs mimic the appearance of natural slate at a more affordable price point. Lightweight and versatile, synthetic slate roofs can be installed on any property with a pitched roof. Despite being synthetic, these roofs retain all the benefits of natural slate, making them an attractive and practical alternative.

Benefits of Choosing Slate for Your Roof

Enhance Property Value

Slate stands as a premium roofing material renowned for its ability to elevate property value, offering an excellent return on investment. With its inherent durability, a slate roof may also lead to potential reductions in insurance premiums, further enhancing its value proposition.

Weather Resilience of Slate Roofs

Naturally resistant to a range of extreme weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, snow, and fire, slate ensures unparalleled protection for your home. Even synthetic slate, crafted from durable materials, offers resilience against the elements, providing lasting peace of mind.

Lower Insurance Costs

Thanks to its reputation as a dependable roofing material, many insurance providers offer reduced rates for homes with slate roofs. While the initial cost of slate roofing may be higher, the long-term savings through lower insurance premiums make it a worthwhile investment for numerous homeowners.

Tile Roofing

Unlock the Timeless Beauty and Durability of Tile Roofing

For millennia, tile has been a favored roofing material, prized for its enduring qualities and remarkable longevity. Whether crafted from clay, concrete, or synthetic materials, tile roofs continue to stand out as one of the finest roofing options available, offering unparalleled durability and aesthetic appeal. While traditional clay remains a popular choice for its classic charm, modern tile options come in a plethora of glazed colors to suit any architectural style.

Total Exteriors, a trusted roofing specialist with years of expertise, offers a diverse range of roofing solutions, including tile roofs. With our meticulous attention to detail and precision installations, we ensure your tile roof is flawlessly installed to provide lasting protection for your home.

Discover Our Range of Tile Roofing Options

When it comes to tile roofing, there are three primary types, each offering distinct advantages and considerations. Here's an overview to assist you in selecting the ideal option for your property:

Clay Tile

Crafted from natural clay, clay tiles present an environmentally conscious roofing solution. With their robust surface, clay tiles offer exceptional durability against extreme elements like high winds, heavy rain, and fire. Explore our diverse array of clay tile styles to find the perfect fit for your home.

Concrete Tile

Constructed from a blend of cement, sand, and water, concrete tiles provide a cost-effective alternative to clay. Versatile and durable, concrete can mimic the appearance of pricier materials such as slate, clay, or cedar. Available in various colors and styles, concrete tiles offer resilience against diverse weather conditions while complementing your aesthetic preferences.

Synthetic Tile

Synthetic tiles offer a lightweight alternative to traditional clay or concrete tiles. This newer option provides the charm of tile roofing without compromising the structural integrity of your home. Additionally, synthetic tiles require less labor for installation, making them a more budget-friendly choice compared to natural alternatives.

Exploring the Advantages and Disadvantages of Tile Roofing

When deciding on your preferred roofing type, it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons to make an informed choice.

Pros of Tile Roofs

Durability

Tile roofing boasts exceptional longevity, often lasting up to 100 years, providing long-term peace of mind.

Eco-Friendly

Crafted from natural or recycled materials, tiles offer a sustainable roofing solution, reducing environmental impact.

High Value:

Tile roofs offer numerous benefits that can enhance your home's overall value, making them a valuable investment.

Cons of Tile Roofs

Higher Investment

While tile roofs come with a higher initial cost compared to other options, their durability and aesthetic appeal make them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

Brittle Nature

Despite their durability against external elements, tiles can be brittle and prone to cracking if walked on by untrained individuals.

Weight Consideration

Clay tiles are heavy and require proper structural support; they may not be suitable for installation if your home cannot accommodate their weight.
