Why St. Joseph homeowners go metal
10 finished roofs in St. Joseph. A smaller town for us, which means the ones we have done are easy to find and easy to drive by. 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 St. Joseph are Coal Black, Charcoal and Evergreen.
Most of what we install in St. Joseph is concealed fastener or standing seam, only 20 out of 100 exposed. That is a residential town for us, and people here tend to buy the roof they want rather than the roof that costs least.
Lake effect is the thing that separates a St. Joseph roof from one an hour inland. Wet snow that sits, then melts, then refreezes at the eave is what kills asphalt here, and it is exactly what a standing seam roof with no exposed fasteners does not care about.
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.
