All roofing companies are not the same.
When Amato Roofing installs a metal roof, we focus on critical details to ensure a high-quality, durable, and effective roofing system.
WHY A METAL ROOF?
Metal roofs often offer several advantages over shingle roofs:
Durability and Longevity
Metal roofs are renowned for their longevity, often lasting 40-70 years compared to the typical 15-30 years for shingles. They are resistant to severe weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, and snow. Metal roofs do not crack or curl like shingles, making them a more durable choice.
Energy Efficiency
Metal roofs reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and thus lowering cooling costs in hot climates. This reflective property can contribute to improved energy efficiency and comfort within the home, making metal roofs a more sustainable option over time.
Low Maintenance
Metal roofs require less maintenance than shingle roofs. They are less likely to suffer from issues like curling, cracking, or missing shingles. Additionally, metal roofs are resistant to mold, algae, and rot, which can affect shingle roofs and lead to costly repairs.
Fire Resistance
Metal roofs offer superior fire resistance compared to asphalt shingles. They are non-combustible and can withstand sparks and embers from wildfires or other sources of fire, reducing the risk of a roof fire and potentially lowering homeowners’ insurance premiums.

THE AMATO ADVANTAGE
Proper Roof Deck Preparation: Before installing a metal roof, Amato Roofing ensures the underlying roof deck is in optimal condition. This includes repairing any damaged sections and ensuring the deck is clean, dry, and smooth to provide a solid foundation for the metal panels.
Accurate Measurement and Custom Cutting: Precision in measuring and cutting metal panels is essential to ensure a perfect fit. Amato Roofing takes care to accurately measure the roof and custom cut the metal panels to match the specific dimensions and angles of the roof structure.
Installation of Flashing and Trim: Proper installation of flashing around roof penetrations (such as chimneys, vents, and skylights) and the application of trim pieces are critical to prevent water infiltration. Amato Roofing ensures these components are correctly installed to create a watertight seal.
Secure Fastening: We use appropriate fasteners and techniques to secure the metal panels. This includes selecting rust-resistant fasteners and ensuring they are installed at the correct locations to prevent issues like leaks or panel lifting.
Ventilation and Insulation: Proper ventilation is essential to prevent moisture buildup and extend the life of the roofing system. Amato Roofing addresses ventilation needs and may recommend or install insulation to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Quality Control and Inspection: Finally, Amato Roofing conducts thorough inspections throughout the installation process and after completion. This ensures that all aspects of the metal roof are installed correctly and meet their quality standards.
