metal roof installation for Dowling homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
We have been setting metal panels on houses, churches, barns and additions for over twenty years, and the crews serving Dowling 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.
Our metal roof installation work in Dowling is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Dowling metal roof installation for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Panel type comes first — standing seam or exposed fastener — then color, then trim. We walk you through the trade offs on each one.
If the shingles are coming off, they come off, and every board underneath gets checked before anything new goes down.
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.
Every penetration gets a proper boot or flashing instead of a bead of sealant and a hope.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Dowling metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Dowling 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 Dowling home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Dowling 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.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"Tore off two layers of old shingles and found rotten decking underneath. They showed me the boards, told me what the change would cost, and let me decide before going ahead."
