Why Ligonier homeowners go metal
20 finished roofs in Ligonier since 2009. Not the biggest number on this site, but every one is pinned on the map and you are welcome to go look at them. Most people who call us here are not shopping for a roof, they are replacing one for the second or third time and have decided they are done doing it. That is the honest reason metal wins in this part of Michiana. The colors that go on most often around Ligonier are Coal Black, Ivy Green and Koko Brown.
Almost everything we have done in Ligonier is exposed fastener, 80 out of every 100 jobs. That tells you what the buildings are around here: barns, shops, pole buildings and simple gables where the cheapest honest answer is the right one.
Freeze thaw is what shortens a roof in Ligonier. Asphalt shingles lose granules every cycle and the south face always goes first. Steel does not shed anything, so the roof you put on is the roof you have in thirty years.
We fabricate every panel at our shop on US 33 in Goshen, so panels come cut to your roof rather than to a stock length. Fewer seams, fewer places for water to think about getting in.
