Why You Should Allow Your Nashville Contractor To Install A Modern Metal Roof



Home owners who are contemplating the installation of a new roof mistakenly believe that they are required to replace their current roof with one of the same exact material type. This myth causes home owners who believe it to overlook their real options when it comes to choosing a new roofing material. Your Nashville contractor, Weather Tamer, Inc., want you to know that this myth is entirely false. You aren't limited as to what material can be placed on your current roof structure according to what is already in place.

When it comes to Nashville roofing, we know that your roof will take a beating in the wild weather of this area. Spring can be notorious for sudden storms, with the threat lingering right through into the early fall. This is then replaced with the threat of ice and snow in the winter. We know how wild the weather can be because we experience it right along with you in our Tennessee based company, and we know how tough your roofing material needs to be in order to make it through in one piece.

Hiring your Nashville contractor to replace your roof, or to repair missing shingles after a storm, can become expensive if done repeatedly. You need to know that the material you're wanting to replace your roof with can be installed easily and at as little cost as is possible to you. This is where the modern metal roof comes in to play.

The modern metal roof is a lightweight design that is every bit as strong as modern shingles are. You can have your metal roof installed by your Nashville roofing expert on the same structure that supports your existing roof. That's right, there's no need to concern yourself over having the entire structure of your roof re-done. Our licensed and certified Nashville contractor team can pull up your shingles and start laying your metal roof down without needing to make any costly adjustments in-between.

The metal roof is a modern classic that can look as metal or as traditional in nature as you choose. These roofs come in many different metal varieties, from simple tin and copper to options as hard as stainless steel and titanium. You'll be able to find exactly what you are looking for in strength and durability with these metal choices. The modern metal roof even comes in shingle options, with possibilities that look like traditional wooden shingles or even stone.

The way that your new roof will look is entirely up to you. When you figure out how you want to combine all of the possibilities, and then include the different colors that are formed directly as part of the metal to prevent fading over the years, you will realize that the modern metal roof is a wise choice for your home. Resist the Tennessee weather by letting your Nashville roofing expert get started on your new roof covering today.

5 Reasons To Let Knoxville Roofers Protect Your Gutters


While your current gutter system is designed to protect your home from being exposed to rain water and snow melt, you have to ask yourself if you're happy with the way the entire system works. Not just how the water is captured, or how the system looks in relation to your entire house, but the entire package.

Here are 5 reasons why you should consider having your gutter system improved by your Knoxville roofing specialists.

Gutter Overflow - Having your gutters overflow can be more than just an annoyance. Any point where your gutter overflows is a location where all of that concentrated runoff is splashing down around your home. This escaped storm water pools along the perimeter of your home, and can lead to flooding, leaks, and rot taking up residence within your home. Protected gutters change the angle that the water enters your gutter system at, reducing overflow risk and fixing those stubborn corner spots that overflow in every storm.




Ice Dams - Here at Weather Tamer, Your Chattanooga roofing specialists will be the first to tell you how much damage a frozen dam of ice can cause to your entire gutter system. Instead of the melt water draining away like it is supposed to, that solid block of ice will cause this water to pool in your gutters and along your roof. Before you know it, you'll end up with damage to your roof and leaks inside your home. Our gutter systems keep your drains clear, preventing these ice dams from forming.

 




Debris Clogs - An unprotected gutter system will collect the debris that washes off of your roof. After a hard storm and frequently during the fall season, your gutters will be overrun with leaves and twigs. Your unprotected system will form hazardous clogs that will back water up, and introduce rot and mold in close proximity to your home. As your Knoxville roofing specialist will tell you, the gutter protection system creates such a small gap along your gutters that water may enter, but this and other types of debris will not. Debris washes straight off the roof, leaving your gutters clear.
 
Peace Of Mind - What better way is there to know that your gutter system can handle the spring storms than with gutter protection? Our Chattanooga roofing specialists will be able to install these systems in only a couple of days along your gutters. Since we only employ licensed and certified technicians, never sub-contractors, you know that your installation will be completed on time and finished correctly.










Weather Resistant - You don't need to worry about our gutter protection system blowing off in a bad storm. Our Chattanooga and Knoxville roofers install this system at a low angle that prevents the wind from getting under it and ripping it off your roof. Whatever spring can throw at you, our gutter protection system will keep your home same and looking good.
