While it’s true that the cost of installing metal roofing is initially higher than other standard roofing systems, the overall life-cycle cost of metal roofing is lower because of its high performance, durability, and fifty-year warranty. This means you won’t find yourself facing typical wear-and-tear repair costs or routine re-roofing expenses every twenty years. In an unpredictable climate like Colorado, durability is important. Our metal roofing systems are made to withstand freezing temperatures, hail, heavy snow loads, and fires. Be sure to inquire about a fire-safe discount on new metal roofs with your insurance company.

Our roofing systems are available in a wide range of styles to fit your personal preference and budget—each nearly indistinguishable from standard options you may be familiar with. Chances are you’ve seen metal roofing without even realizing it. With our stone coated steel systems, real earth tone granules are placed on the final paint coat, which then is covered with a durable clear coat. All of our metal roofing systems are more lightweight than other roofing systems, though they are stronger and more durable. And all of our products are manufactured from G90 galvanized steel, which protects the metal from corrosion. Most of our steel and aluminum residential roofing is finished with a Kynar 500 coating—an extremely high-performance paint finish that is guaranteed against fading, peeling, and chalking. The Kynar coating is so tough that it also withstands the 400-ton metal-forming presses with no damage.

During installation, no additional roof supports are required and installation is quick. Only twenty-three 4-foot panels are needed per 100 square feet. In some cases, our metal roofs can be placed atop existing roofs, eliminating often dangerous and expensive tear-offs.

When building your dream home, you may also be concerned with environmental impact. With today’s heightened interest in and demand for ecologically sound building materials, our metal roofing systems rise to the top as the product of choice. This product is made of recycled material. And its durability reduces the need for replacement material. It’s also recyclable and energy efficient.

With more square footage, high-end homes can be quite expensive to heat and cool. However, customers are already reporting that their metal roofs have helped slash energy costs in both winter and summer. The Solar Energy Center found that installing a Rustic Shake aluminum roof can reduce attic heat gain in the summer by 34 percent, significantly decreasing air-conditioning costs. They also report that the metal roofing system creates no negative effect during winter.

The strengths found in our metal roofing systems give it an advantage over other re-roofing products. Our customers in Colorado and Kansas are finding that metal roofing is worth the investment. Finish off your beautiful home with one of our stunning, durable roofing systems.

Customers across Colorado and Kansas are already experiencing the benefits of stone coated steel roofing because it’s a product developed for better performance. The pride of DECRA Roofing Systems is found in the physical characteristics it possesses. The main component—steel—is lightweight and does not burn or break, while its stone coating resists UV penetration and fading.

When it comes time for hanging holiday lights, installing satellite dishes, or repainting the house, you may find yourself wondering if your current roofing system is going to withstand the pressure of your weight without cracking. You know that even the slightest damage can lead to rain leakage, causing interior water damage. When using a DECRA roofing system, you can be confident knowing they are made with 26-gauge steel. Another standout feature is found in its lightweight composition. DECRA stone coated steel roofs weigh half as much as typical composition shingle roofs, meaning they are light enough for installation over an existing cedar shake or composition shingle roof. This can eliminate a messy, somewhat hazardous, and costly tear-off. Installing over pre-existing roofing also means you’re adding another layer of insulation. Many stone coated steel customers throughout Colorado and Kansas, including those who did not install over pre-existing roofing, have reported a reduction in their energy costs during both summer and winter when using DECRA.

And what about weather? You can also have peace of mind knowing that extremely strong winds, hail, heavy snow loads, and freezing temperatures will not compromise the durability of a stone coated steel roof—all very real concerns for those located in climates which experience such harsh and unpredictable conditions as the those living in Colorado and Kansas. DECRA Roofing systems carry a 50-year warranty against 120 mph winds and Class 4 Impact Resistance on penetrating hail.

On the off chance you may one day encounter a fire at your home or business, it’s important to consider how your roofing system will respond. Another benefit of this stone coated steel roofing system is that it’s made of noncombustible material. This means DECRA Roofing Systems will not catch fire. By being impervious to the effects of internal and external flames, a fire below can be contained more quickly. And an added bonus for firefighters is the strength of these roofing systems. When there is need to stand atop the building, some slippery roofing systems can make it difficult and dangerous for firefighters to do their work, however, our slip-resistant stone coated steel roofing systems allow for safe and secure access to your roof.

The strengths found in DECRA stone coated steel roofing systems give it an advantage over other re-roofing products. On the West Coast of North America, more than 100,000 individual homeowners and numerous homeowners’ associations have also chosen a stone coated steel roofing system. And our customers in Colorado and Kansas alike are finding that stone coated steel roofing is worth the investment. Will your next roof be a DECRA Roofing System?

There are thousands of historical homes in Colorado and kansas that need a metal roof. If you own one of them it makes a great deal of sense to investigate the benefits that a metal roof can provide. Some of those benefits specific to historic homes include unmatched beauty and durability.

One of our favorite projects that we’ve done is the Babbitt-Doerr House in Larned Kansas.  We replaced the original Victorian shingles with Hartford Green Victorian Metal Shingles by Berridge Manufacturing.  We also replaced the fancy decorative wood shingles on the walls of the house (as necessary) and the cedar shingles on the porch.  We’ve attached a few before and pictures. Please enjoy!

Decra Shake Close Up

Metal roofs are made primarily of recycled content and most metal roofs contain between 25 and 90 percent recycled material. This is a huge advantage to traditional asphalt shingles, which use oil-based raw materials. Not only are these products made from recycled content, but they are 100 percent recyclable themselves! You could even make a new metal roof out of the materials from a recycled metal roof! Metal roofing is extremely lightweight, weighing up to one-third to one-eighth less than a conventional roof. This has the added benefit of keeping landfills free from old roofing products. Each year, about 20 billion pounds of old composition roofing shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills. Metal roofing is an attractive and durable way to avoid this degradation of the environment.
