Metal and Asphalt Roofing

Our 40 years of experience has show that the average lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof in Northeast Ohio is 13 to 17 years. With the cost of asphalt shingles (a petroleum-based product) continuing to rise and the environmental concerns over disposal of old shingles, now more than ever a permanent metal roof makes good economic sense.

Miller Custom Exteriors is focused on becoming the metal roof experts in this area. We’ve joined the Metal Roofing Alliance and Roofer’s Success International to stay on top of leading industry techniques and products so we can offer them to you.

Metal roofing and steel siding are considered “green” products because of their recyclability and longevity. Both products also offer energy savings.

The Advantages of a Metal Roof:
A true, lifetime materials warranty—With fade and hail protection

Increase your home’s value—Should you ever sell your home, your roof warranty will transfer to the new owner and they will never have to replace the roof.

Virtually maintenance free—A metal roof won’t peel, crack or blow off like asphalt shingles

Reduces energy costs—several colors we offer are Energy Star® certified, which means they will reflect the heat of the sun away from your house instead of absorb the heat as asphalt does.

Easy on the environment—metal roofing has a number of environmental advantages:

•

No tear off of old shingles(in most cases) means reduced landfill waste

•

Steel is 100% recyclable and contains a minimum of 25% recycled content

•

American made--since it does not require crude oil in its manufacture (as asphalt does)
permanent metal roofing can be manufactured entirely from American resources.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Can I walk on the metal roof after it is installed?
Answer: Yes, but like with any roof, care should always be taken.

Question: Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Answer: A study conducted by the Acoustic Group found that the sound from a metal roof was only 6 decibels greater than that of a conventional asphalt roof. With ArrowLine’s four way locking and fastening system and the proper underlayment your ArrowLine roof will not contribute to additional noise.

Question: How does the cost of an ArrowLine metal roof compare to other roofs?
Answer: Although the ArrowLine roof system may cost more initially the ArrowLine metal roof should never need to be replaced and therefore should be less expensive over the life of your home. Common asphalt shingles have a shorter life span and will need to replace periodically and thus will probably more expensive over the life of your roof.

Answer: ArrowLine Shingle-Shakes are designed to withstand the impact of most hail storms. ArrowLine’s double embossed panels will help minimize damage that might be caused by hail.

Answer: Yes, in most cases. ArrowLine Shingle-Shakes weigh only 70 pounds per 100 square feet, which is about one-fifth the weight of conventional asphalt shingles. This means that you won’t have to tear off the old roof thus saving you money on labor and disposal.
