3 Reasons Why More Homeowners Are Choosing Metal Roofs

June 23, 2025

In recent years, metal roofs have gained popularity among homeowners, becoming a preferred option for new builds and replacements alike. Combining durability, aesthetic appeal, and energy efficiency, metal roofs offer numerous benefits that make them stand out from traditional roofing materials. Let’s dive into why more people are turning to metal roofing services for their homes.

1. Choosing Metal Roofs for Their Unmatched Durability

One of the biggest reasons homeowners are choosing metal roofs is their incredible durability. According to Today's Homeowner, when properly installed, metal roofs can support snow loads exceeding 60 pounds per square foot. That makes them an excellent choice for homes in areas that face heavy snow, strong winds, and harsh rain. Homeowners appreciate that metal roofing services offer long-lasting protection, cutting down on future maintenance and replacement costs.

2. Choosing Metal Roofs for Their Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

Many homeowners are also choosing metal roofs because they can help reduce energy bills and support sustainable living. Metal roofs reflect solar heat, which can help lower cooling costs during those sweltering summer months. This natural cooling effect means air conditioning systems don’t have to work as hard, leading to long-term energy savings. Additionally, metal roofs can contribute to better indoor comfort by maintaining more consistent temperatures throughout the home. For homeowners who care about reducing their environmental footprint, metal roofing is a smart and responsible option that aligns with green building practices and energy-conscious lifestyles.

3. Choosing Metal Roofs for Their Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

Another reason people are making the switch is that metal roofs simply look great. The days of plain, industrial-looking metal roofs are long gone. Today’s metal roofing services offer a wide range of colors, styles, and finishes that can fit both modern and traditional homes. Whether someone wants a sleek, contemporary look or a warm, rustic vibe, there’s a metal roofing design that can bring their vision to life. According to industry sources, adding a stylish metal roof can also boost a home’s curb appeal and increase its resale value.

From their unbeatable durability to their energy-saving benefits and stunning appearance, metal roofs offer so much value to today’s homeowners. It’s easy to see why more people are choosing metal roofing services as their go-to solution for lasting protection and style. If you're ready to upgrade your roof, contact Bates Roofing today.

The Importance Of A Solid Roof Roof Deck On Your Shingle Roof

By 7003946242 • May 30, 2025

When it comes to the integrity of a roofing system, there is more to it than meets the eye! Everything in the building and structural world starts with the foundation. When the foundation is set correctly everything else can be constructed properly. If the foundation is off it affects the rest of the project very much like an airplane that starts 1" off course at the beginning of the flight but ends up miles off from its destination. Its no different on an asphalt roofing system. Even though you don't see the roof deck it's a critical component. It's crucial that your roofing contractor carefully inspects your roof deck to look for any potential rot, water damage, mold or brittle areas. Improperly ventilated homes can contain alot of moisture which can create an atmosphere for attic mold, which is extremely hazardous for your health. If the underside of your decking is full of attic mold all or some of the plywood needs to be replaced. Failed shingles, high or low nail placement, broken vents or pipe boots among other issues can cause roof leaks and water intrusion. Consistent water intrusion creates rot. The fasteners for the new shingle system will not hold in soft or rotten plywood. This can create premature failure and shingle blow off in moderate or high winds. Car decking roof decks can also present a problem. While they technically meet manufacturer codes the older wood is often extremely dry and brittle and does not hold fasteners. At Bates Roofing we utilize the best practice approach in every aspect of our business. All plywood is inspected and compromised plywood is removed and replaced to create a smooth solid substrate. A smooth substrate is also important as large variations in the plywood placement will telegraph through the asphalt shingles over time and give a new roof an ugly appearance. We are a safe choice for your roof replacement because we don't cut corners! We meet the highest level of Washington State codes, NRCA requirements and manufacturer expectations for upgraded system warranties. Below are some "found in the field" examples of replacing bad plywood during a reroof job. Thank you for choosing Bates Roofing as your local roofing contractor.

One Family, Three Roofs, One Great Experience With Bates Roofing

By 7003946242 • March 28, 2025

The very best accolade we can earn as a contractor is the referral of one of our customers. That says more about our level of customer service than anything else. Hiring a contractor in the roofing business is risky business! In fact the department of labor and industry reports that 80% of roofing contractors will go out of business within the first year of opening their doors. Another huge percentage of contractors will go out of business by year 5. With those facts in mind, for a homeowner to trust you enough to refer you their family or friends based on their experience with you is a incredible complement. We just recently had an amazing experience with a family that we earned that level of trust! In fact we installed three full roofing systems for one family! We are grateful to this amazing family for their business and also incredibly grateful for our Bates Roofing family of employees that produce such a great customer experience that our community feels this strongly about sharing our services .
