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.
