Custom Steel Roofing Tiles in Reno - An Asphalt Upgrade



The client owned a 40s Craftsman bungalow here in Reno, Nevada, and was more than ready for a replacement for the asphalt shingle roof that was more than showing its age. Being a artist, he wanted something that would not only eliminate maintenance, but something attractive, rustic, and complimentary to the character of his home.

Omega Roof custom made a metal tile from natural steel for the project. The resulting roof, now about 12 years old, makes this home rather unusual. While looking like a concrete or clay tile from a distance, this now-rusting, natural steel tile roof becomes more interesting the closer you look. The project was a complete success. The client still gets nothing but compliments on the rare choice of roof material and calls it "the pride of the neighborhood."
