Storm Proof Roofing
The storms that tear through the Gulf Coast are nothing new to those who live there. The passage of Hurricane Ivan, followed by Michael and many other hurricanes have reminded us just how devastating these natural disasters can be when they hit our area.
Homes and businesses need to protect their roofs from severe damage. This is done by installing storm proofing on the exterior of a building's roof, which will help maintain its structural integrity during heavy storms when it may be otherwise vulnerable. You can't be too careful when it comes to protecting yourself and those you love from the dangers of severe weather. Stormproof roofing is vital for keeping your home safe during these times, so that's what we do!
Why Do Roofs Fail?
High winds can cause major damage to your roof. If the materials aren't fastened properly or shingles are compromised, it could lead to an entire failure of its structure which may result in leaks and water intrusion into every room inside the house!

Metal Roofs VS. Asphalt Roofs
Metal and asphalt roofs are the two most popular styles along the Gulf Coast. They are both pleasing to the eye and work with a variety of home types, but which is going to better protect your home or business during bad weather?
Asphalt Roofs
Asphalt roofs are the most common type of roof. They have an attractive appearance that works well with many home styles, and they also last longer than other types! However it's important to note these shingles cannot withstand high winds because any pieces blown off will leave your property vulnerable during storms or hurricanes. Once the wind speeds reach 130 mph, asphalt shingle roofs are at risk of damage.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are known to be one of the most resilient types. They're durable, resistant, and stylish too! These quality products can withstand winds up to 150 mph or even higher gusts at 180 mph. The interlocking design makes these more protected than other kinds that have gaps in between tiles for safe passage when high-winded conditions occur.
Choosing Your Roof Type
When choosing a roof type, it is important to consider the design and quality of materials. For example, metal roofs are typically stronger than other types because they don't rely on insulation or shingles for protection against wind and leaks; however, this comes at a cost in weight which can reduce overall living space efficiency if not properly solved with additional supports like trusses and joists.
We've seen it all. From hurricanes in the panhandle to near-record setting temperatures last year, we know what you need when your home is threatened by nature's fury: a roof that will withstand even Mother Nature’s worst storms and keep out any water or windblown debris with quality workmanship for years before needing another installation!
