This customer’s experience highlights the importance of proper roof installation. A properly installed metal roof can withstand 70 mph winds without any difficulty.
Due to insufficient fasteners, about a ⅓ of his roof blew off in 60-70 mph winds. His roof only had about half the amount of fasteners that we use when installing a new roof. His roof also sustained hail damage.
Can a Metal Roof Withstand Tornados?
This property is located along the shores of Lake Whitney–about 35 minutes west of Hillsboro, TX.
When we install metal roofing, we use either an underlayment or our lath system. On this home, we used lath on part of the roof, and underlayment on other parts of it.
While having a third of your roof blow off isn’t fun, this story has a happy ending.
The silver colored roof looks sharp, and the homeowner is extremely pleased with his new roof and the service he received from Texas Metal Master!
