THE METAL DON

DUE TO THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 WE DO MOST OF OUR ESTIMATES WITHOUT COMING TO YOUR PROPERTY. WE USE SATELLITE IMAGING AND MEASURING SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY THAT GIVES US 100% ACCURATE DETAILS WHICH ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A GUARANTEED ESTIMATE THAT WONT CHANGE . FOR SMALLER JOBS SUCH AS ADDITIONS ENTRYPORCHES OR BAY WINDOW ROOFS YOU CAN JUST SEND US A PICTURE OF IT. OUR PRICES ARE UNBEATABLE AND OUR QUALITY AND INTEGRITY ARE MILES AHEAD OF THE REST.

BEFORE WE ARRIVE WE HAVE ALREADY VIEWED YOUR ROOF AND SURROUNDING PROPERTY AND WE HAVE ALREADY SENT YOU OUR PLAN OF WHERE WE ARE GONNA TEAR OFF FIRST AND SO ON.SO AS THE GOONSQUAD IS SETTING UP THERE ROPES EVERYONE IS MOVING LAWN FURNITURE PLANTS AND WERE PUTTING LADDERS OVER WINDOWS COVERING A/C UNITS MOVING GRILLS AND PROTECTING ALL LANDSCAPING AND PROPERTY THAT MIGHT GET DAMAGED. WE ALSO COVER THE ENTIRE HOUSE WITH FOOTBALL FIELD SIZE TARPS AND 30 TO 40. ALL AROUND THE HOUSE TO HELP PROTECT THE SIDES OF YOUR HOUSE AND PROPERTY.THE ROOFERS ARE BEING CAREFUL AND WE HAVE GUYS ON THE GROUND WATCHING EVERYTHING AS WELL. 

NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS PROTECTED AND WE HAVE EVERYONE IN PLACE THE ROOFERS WILL START TEARING OFF THE ROOF ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE WOOD SO WE CAN INSPECT THE WOOD AND REPLACE ANY WOOD THAT IS ROTTEN. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT THIS PART OF THE PROCESS IS A COMPLETE DISASTER YOUR ENTIRE ROOF IS BEING TORN OFF AND FALLING ALL THE WAY FROMTHE ROOF TO THE GROUND.WIND WILL BLOW PIECES THOUSANDS OF NAILS WILL BE FALLING AND THIS WILL BE VERY LOUD. DONT BELIEVE SALESMAN WHEN THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS NEAT AND SMOOTH SAILING DURING THE TEAR OFF. ITS CONTROLLED CHAOS WITH DEBRI FLYING EVERYWHERE. HOWEVER IT WILL BE COMPETELY SPOTLESS WHEN WE ARE FINISHED. EVEN THOUGH WE TAKE ALOT OF PRECAUTIONS THERE ARE TIMES WHERE SOMETHING GETS DAMAGED. SO IF A SCREEN ON THE WINDOW GETS TORN OR A LIGHT FIXTURE GETS BROKEN YOU WILL KNOW AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS AND IT WILL BE REPLACED AND FICED IMMEDIATELY.

ONCE WE INSPECT THE WOOD AND REPLACE THE ROTTEN WOOD WE WILL BEGIN TO INSTALL THE HIGH TEMP ICE/WEATHERSHIELD AT THE EAVES AND VALLEYS.AND THAN INSTALL REGULAR SYNTHETIC UNDERLAYMENT OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE ROOF.THE CLEANUP PROCESS WILL LAST THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE PROJECT. WE WIL INSTALL THE RAKE EDGE AND DRIP EDGE AND VALLEYS OUT OF THE SAME COLOR METAL THAT YOUR ROOF IS GETTING AND THAN WE ARE READY TO START INSTALLING THE ROOF PANELS

TYPICALLY ITS 26 GAUGE STEEL THAT IS MADE AND COATED BY ENGLERT INC. THIS IS A TOP OF THE LINE METAL FABRICATOR THAT HAS BEEN MAKING METAL ROOFING FOR OVER 50 YEARS. THE PANELS ARE USUALLY 21' WIDE OR 17' WIDE SEAMLESS PANELS THAT RUN VERTICALLY ON YOUR ROOF. HIDDEN FASTENERS ARE INSTALLED EVERY 18' ON EVERY PANEL BEFORE THE NEXT ONE IS INSTALLED RIGHT AFTER ITS INSTALLED WE RUN A MACHINE OVER THE SEAMS WHICH TURNS ITINTO A DOUBLE LOCK STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF. ALL THE FLASHING ARE CUT 1' DEEP INTO BRICK OR TUCKED 4' UP THE WALL BEHIND SIDING. THERE WILL BE NO EXPOSED FASTENERS ANYWHERE ON THE ROOF

WE INSPECT EACH PIECE OF METAL AS WE GO AND WE TEAR IT OFF IF THERES AN ISSUE BEFORE WE CONTINUE LAYING THE ROOF. BUT WE STILL DO A VERY EXTENSIVE INSPECTION OF THE ROOF AND ALL THE FLASHING ONCE WE ARE DONE. WE CHECK TO MAKE SURE NO FASTENERS ARE EXPOSED AND THAT THERE ARE NO HOLES FROM NAILS UNDERNEATH OR ACCIDENTAL DROPS OF TOOLS. WE MAKE SURE ALL THE FLASHING ARE CUT INTO BRICK AND ARE SEALED PROPERLY. NOW OIL CANNING IS NORMAL AND THERES REALLY NO WAY TO PREVENT IT THE GOOD NEWS IS IT WILL APPEAR TO DISAPPEAR OVER TIME

ONCE YOUR JOB IS COMPLETE AND OUR INSPECTION OF THE ROOF IS DONE AND OUR INSPECTION OF THE GROUND MAKING SURE ALL THE TRASH IS PICKED UP AND OUT OF YOUR BUSHES AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. WE DO A FINAL INSPECTION TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HAS BEEN DAMAGED THAT WE MISSED DURING THE PROJECT. I TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF PICTURES BEFORE THE PROJECT STARTS AND TONS OF PROJECTS DURING AND ALOT AFTER SO ANY DAMAGE THAT OCCURS WILL BE CRYSTAL CLEAR OF WHOS FAULT IT WAS. IF I DONT HAVE A BEFORE PICTURE OF THE DAMAGE THAN IM PAYING FOR IT. LAST THE CUSTOMER AND I DO A FINAL WALK THROUGH AND WE ADRESS ANY ISSUES RIGHT THAN AND THERE. YOUR GONNA BE HAPPY BEFORE WE LEAVE OR WE ARE NOT LEAVING.
