New Roof

-





We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

The new roof is perfect. Blue certainly made the house look brighter. Now that the problem with the roof is fixed, you have more time to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. :)

The blue metal roof is a wise choice. Blue and white make a good color combination. It certainly blended with the natural environment -- from the green grass up front, the trees on the background and the very lovely blue skies. I love it!

Light colored roofs are guaranteed to make your house more energy-efficient since it helps reflect the sun’s rays, thus making your summers a lot cooler. =) Your blue metal roof sure is attractive. I’m sure you’ll be the new envy of the neighborhood, hehe!

Good choice of color, Amber. Blue is the coolest color among all colors because it symbolizes youth, spirituality, truth, peace and distance.

Good choice! I love it that you changed the color of your roof. Blue is always a refreshing color, and it blends with the stimulating mood of the sky. Seven working days is long enough to beautify and repair your roof. Workers must have really paid attention to every detail. It looks fresh and really sturdy, compared to the one you had before. Thumbs up!

One factor that affects the durability of a roof is proper installation. Just like with a vehicle, if every component is securely installed, then it can perform at its best. Also, choosing metal roofing is a wise move. You’ll surely get the most out of your purchase because it is one of the strongest roofing materials in the market.

Good pick! Indeed, a metal roof is inexpensive, but the durability it guarantees is remarkable. Actually, metal roofs have the highest rank when it comes to impact resistance. It is classified as Class IV by the Underwriter Laboratory. Kind regards! =)

Santo, has a point. A good installation equals to a long lasting and great performance of a roof. Also, along with it, is the right way of conducting maintenance of one’s roof. Both of these factors combined, would make sure that a homeowner would have a sturdy enough roof to withstand erratic weather, and hopefully, last them for a lifetime. :)

Another benefit of having a metal roof on your home is the reduced utility bills. It is an ideal roof for houses that have attics. The metal roof protects the attic from the heat of the sun. On the other hand, if you don’t like the sound of the rain on your roof, you can go for a metal roof too. Metal roofing is just as quiet as any other roofing material.

Aww. Your tile roof was not installed properly? What a waste of money! You should hire only the services of reliable roofing contractors, so you can be assured that your roof is in good hands. Anyway, it’s good that you have a new roof now, and it was installed properly too. Don’t forget to have it maintained and inspected regularly and always keep it clean.

You made a good decision in choosing metal over roof tiles. First, metal roof is basically cheaper compared with roof tiles. Second, it doesn't have to be maintained often compared with roof tiles, whose shingles that were attached wrong will blow off. Anyway, congratulations on your new roof!

You’re right, Richard. Metal roof is a very cost-effective type of roofing. When it comes to durability, metal roof is an excellent choice. In fact, it is rated Class IV, the highest premium credit, after passing the UL Standard 2218 test.

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex
