Why Watervliet homeowners go metal
4 finished roofs in Watervliet. 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 Watervliet are Burnished Slate, Burnished Slate Crinkle and Charcoal Blue Gray.
Watervliet splits close to even, 50 out of 100 exposed fastener and the rest concealed. When a town runs that way it usually means the houses are worth the upgrade and the outbuildings are not, which is exactly how we would advise it anyway.
Lake effect is the thing that separates a Watervliet 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.
