Straight answers and careful work on metal roof installation in Lincoln, IA. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We have been setting metal panels on houses, churches, barns and additions for over twenty years, and the crews serving Lincoln install them the same way we always have. Straight lines, correct fastener spacing, and closures at the ridge so wind driven rain has nowhere to go.
When a Lincoln homeowner calls us about metal roof installation, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the metal roof installation on your Lincoln home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
We measure the roof on site, count the valleys, hips and penetrations, and bring the color chart so you can hold it up against your siding.
Where the decking is sound and there is only one layer, we can often go over the top on purlins. We tell you which one your house calls for.
We keep panels straight to a line rather than to the eye, because a metal roof shows every bit of drift the moment the sun hits it.
Ridge caps, closures, drip edge and gable trim finish the roof and keep wind driven rain and wasps out from under the panels.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Lincoln metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Lincoln metal roof can go over the top on purlins. Two layers or rot underneath and we tear off first — and we say so before you sign.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Lincoln homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Lincoln home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
"Nice work on the roof and good communication throughout. I would have liked a little more warning about the dumpster arriving, but that is a small thing."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"Twenty year old tin roof with screws backing out everywhere. They refastened the whole thing with new washers instead of talking me into a replacement I did not need."
