When it comes to home maintenance, the roof is arguably one of the most critical components, shielding the interior from the elements and ensuring the structure’s integrity. Unfortunately, not all roofing jobs are created equal, as was the case with this home in Strawn, Texas, that suffered from improperly installed roofing, leading to water leaks in several rooms. This project was an out-of-pocket investment for the homeowner, emphasizing the importance of getting it right this time. In this post, we’ll share how we turned a problematic roofing situation into a success story, complete with a durable, good looking roof.
The homeowner’s previous metal roof was installed incorrectly, with panels lapped backwards and flashings improperly placed. This resulted in multiple water leaks that compromised the comfort and safety of their home. Additionally, after 15 years, the old metal had reached the end of its useful life. Recognizing that something needed to be done, the homeowner reached out to us for a comprehensive solution.
After conducting a thorough assessment of the existing roof, the decision was made to remove the old metal entirely to make way for a new beginning. Our choice of material? A Class 4, Panel-Loc Plus metal roofing system known for its durability, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. This material is not only resistant to extreme weather conditions but also comes with a lifetime warranty, ensuring the homeowner’s peace of mind for years to come.
Our team of skilled installers removed the old roofing. The homeowner wanted to replace the roof with the same color, so we went back with a red metal panel. We then prepared the roof deck for the new installation. The new panel-loc plus metal roofing was installed with precision, paying close attention to the laps and flashings to prevent any future leaks.
The new metal roof not only resolves the leaking issues but also significantly enhances the home’s curb appeal. The Class 4 panel-loc plus metal roof, with its sleek design and robust construction, promises decades of protection against the elements. The homeowner was very happy with the result, confident in the knowledge that their investment was protected by a lifetime warranty.
