Should You DIY a Metal Roof
Search on YouTube and you feel like with enough videos under your belt you can do just about anything. The truth is most things are not that easy. This is especially true with trying to DIY your metal roof installation.
Metal roofs have become popular for good reason. Their durability, long life span, and energy efficiency make them excellent choices for new roofs or replacement roofs. They come in a variety of colors and extra coatings can make them last even longer.
However, metal roofs are complex to install and doing it incorrectly can leave you with a lot of trouble. An improperly installed roof can lead to damage throughout your home as water leaks in and be the source of costly repairs. Installing a metal roof takes training and specialized tools.
Leave the installation to the professionals on this home project – reach out to Phoenix Roofing.

Real Questions
I think we’ve all heard the expression that there are no stupid questions. This applies to roofing questions as well. One we’ve received at Phoenix Roofing is – can you apply new shingles over existing shingles when repairing a roof? The short answer is yes!
There are some qualifications to that answer. A lot depends on the condition of your current roof. Here are some things to look for to see if your new shingles can be applied without removing the current ones:
– Is there only one layer of existing shingles?
– Is the roof deck in good condition?
– Are the current shingles laying flat?
If the answer to all of those questions is Yes you may be eligible for keeping your current roof shingles in place. The best way to determine this is with a roof inspection from the professional team at Phoenix Roofing. Schedule your inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com

Roofs Breathe
There is so much that goes into the proper installation, repair or replacement of a roof. It is important to use a roofing company that has the experience and expertise to do the job right. Without the proper installation of a roof ventilation system your whole home could be affected.
Roof ventilation systems are a series of vents that keep air circulation in your home. This keeps your home comfortable and reduces the build up of moisture. Air needs to be able to move through the vents in your roof so that your roof doesn’t overheat.
The team at Phoenix Roofing understands how important air movement is to a roofing system. They also know how to create a ventilation system that won’t allow moisture in or lead to leaks in the future. Visit them online for a free roof inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

How Much is Too Much?
Roof damage can happen for a variety of reasons. This time of year storms are often to blame with hail, rain and wind leading to potential damage. Other issues can come from overhanging branches, ice, animals or even just the age of the roof. So how do you know if you need to repair or replace your roof? Here are a few things to consider.
Here are some questions to ask when considering repairing your roof or replacing it:
– How old is the roof?
– How long do you plan on staying in the home?
– How bad is the damage
– What is my budget for roof repairs?
– What will my insurance cover?
A professional roof inspection will help determine if your roof can be repaired or if the repair costs are so high it warrants a full replacement. Phoenix Roofing has the experience and expertise to help you make an informed decision. Schedule a free roof inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.
