Metal Roof Delivers Beauty and Brawn

By Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA). 

Classic Superoof installs a roof that is both dazzling and durable.  

The project  

The main goal for this beautiful home in Arlington, Texas was to find a roof that could withstand the extreme weather and storms while enhancing curb appeal. The home had an asphalt roof that was the worse for wear, damaged by the hail and wind storms of the regional climate. It was a complex project to install a strong metal due to the steep slant of the roof and keep the beautiful aesthetic of the home. The homeowner hired Classic Superoof, LLC to expertly install their new metal roof to maintain the appearance of their home.  

The challenge 

At more than 13,500 square feet, the home’s sheer size and incredibly steep roof design was challenging enough. Choosing a roof that would perform just as beautifully as it looked also was top priority. On top of that were a myriad of special considerations to ensure the new roof would stand up to severe climate conditions such as hail, hurricane-force winds and extreme temperatures. The installation was particularly complex, with 61 separate geometric roof facets, very steep sections and three large dead valley areas, plus 630 feet of roll-formed steel gutters. In fact, it took 90 days to secure permits given the number of facets and steepness of the roof. 

Metal roofing to the rescue 

Given the need to maximize performance, reliability, longevity and style, the decision to go with quality metal roofing was a natural. Classic Superoof installed a 24-gauge steel, 18” wide striated Snaplock standing seam panel metal roof, finished in a Kynar-500 “Dark Bronze” color that offers beautiful, low-maintenance protection and maximizes energy efficiency. Coils were supplied by Fabral, Inc and the roofing material was roll-formed on a Zimmerman machine. 

Thoughts from the experts 

“We were able to meet the homeowner’s goals for a low maintenance, long lasting roof which also offers exceptional solar reflectivity to help save on heating and cooling costs,” said Roger A. Wallace, CSI Metal Roofing Specialist at Classic Superoof. “Given the fact the old asphalt roof had failed to perform and was badly storm damaged, resistance to large hail and strong winds was very important. The new metal roof will deliver peace of mind and maximum protection for this home for many years to come.”
