What are the differences between a metal roof and other standard roofing materials?

No matter what style of metal roofing you select, you’ll never have to stress about your roof again. Most come with a true 30- to 50-year warranty. Plus, your new metal roof will save you money on your energy bills, add to the re-sale value of your home, and give you peace of mind that you’ll likely never have to re-roof again. Metal roofs normally last at least 2 to 3 times longer than a regular roof. In general terms, you can count on a metal roof lasting 40 to 60 years and often longer.

How do I know if I need a new roof?

The following are things that may indicate that your roof needs replacing:

• Blistering or peeling paint
• High energy bills
• Leakage in the attic after heavy rains
• Missing, cracked or curling shingles
• Shingle, sheathing or siding decay
• Stains on interior walls or ceilings

How often should I clean my gutters?

Gutters should be cleaned at least once in the summer and twice in the fall.

At Jewell Roofing & Gutters, LLC, we care about your investment and here we have provided you with a few general maintenance tips for the spring and fall time.

• To prevent leaves from clogging the drains, clean all of your gutters and consider putting in gutter screens.
• Check your gutter joints and make sure they are sealed.
• Make sure your roof is free of debris (branches, leaves, etc.).
• If any trees are touching your roof, trim them back or contact a professional.
• Check all your roof flashings, skylights, fireplaces and vents. Make sure they are free of debris.

Repeat these steps twice a year to ensure that your roof will be in top condition throughout the year.
