Ask Chris - What's the Best Roof For Windy Areas?

Q. Today's high winds were tremendous! Are some roofs better than others for staying on in winds like that?

A. Absolutely. The best roofs are the ones that have the most positive fastening. Metal roofs are mechanically fastened to the deck or the structure, while other roofs rely on their weight or adhesives, certainly an inferior system in extreme winds. Our new Sierra Metal Shake is among the best products available for high wind areas like ours because among other benefits, its wind warranty won’t expire in just a few years like asphalt roof warranties. If a roofing project is coming up and resistance to high winds is a priority, call or visit us online to learn more about the many benefits of metal roofs.

For detailed answers to this and all your roofing questions, call or email for our booklet on re-roofing your home.
