A Metal Roof for Your Home?

Metal roofs may remind you of backwater shanties without much curb appeal. But that’s really no longer the case. New manufacturing techniques have made metal roofs incredibly interesting and attractive. This roofing material now has a lot to offer consumers. While metal roofs aren’t the best choice for everyone, you should certainly consider a metal roof when it’s time to replace yours. Here are just ten reasons why:

1.Weight

Metal is one of the most lightweight roofing options available, which makes it a good alternative to a clay or concrete tile upgrade. If your home was originally built for an asphalt shingle roof, it may require additional support to be added if you’d like to upgrade to a tile roof, which adds much additional weight. Since metal is often lighter even than asphalt shingles, you won’t have to worry about this issue.

Which Roof Shingles Are Best for High Temperatures?

With Orange County and all of Southern California heating up under the summer sun, many of the community’s rooftops will really take a beating before the season is over and things cool down. Given the harshness of those golden rays, it’s not surprising that extreme temperatures are one of the leading causes of shingle damage. If you wish to prevent or at least minimize the potential for such damage, you may want to have a reliable Orange County roofer install shingles that can withstand the summer sun.

Which kind of shingles work best? Many a commercial roofer would advise homeowners in hot zones such as Orange County to choose from among the following possibilities: slate, terracotta, concrete tiles, reflective roofing, membrane roofing, and photovoltaic shingles.

If cost is a factor shaping your decision, you’ll definitely want to give strong consideration to concrete tiles. While high on quality, these tiles consistently earn the distinction of being the lowest priced option among high-end roofing materials. But no matter what type of material you select, be sure to factor in all costs associated with the installation of new tiles, not just the tiles themselves.

Along with roofing materials, roof coatings also can be an effective means of cooling down your roof and preventing it from heat damage. Coating works like a mirror, reflecting the sun’s blistering rays away from your home. And let’s not forget the effectiveness of what’s beneath the roof -- namely insulation. Proper insulation can go a long way to keeping those high summer temperatures at bay.  

Should you think your roof is vulnerable to heat damage, it’s best to get expert input. For instance, if you live in a sunny community such as Irvine, get the opinion of an Irvine roofer. Being proactive in this manner will help you protect your roof and make your home as cool and comfortable as it can be.

If you have any questions about the best shingles for hot weather, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing. A long-established Orange County roofing company, we provide prompt, reliable expertise for every residential roofing need and situation. Whether you need roofing services in Irvine, Trabuco Canyon, or anywhere else in OC, you definitely can count on Luke Roofing.

Clay Roofs vs. Tile Roofs in Orange County

concrete-tile-roofTile roofs are some of the most popular options in Orange County, California - and for good reason! They’re long-lasting and incredibly energy-efficient in hotter climates. Plus, they’re a classic look with the area’s typical Spanish-inspired architecture. (But they also look great with more traditional types of architecture.)

Orange County roofing companies install many of these types of roofs each year. And the best roofing company will walk you through all your available options when it comes to a tile roof. While you’ve got many choices to make when it comes to your new tile roof - from style to color - the first and most basic choice is which type of tile you’ll use.

Tile roofs come in two basic options: concrete and clay. So what’s the difference between the two? Here’s an outline of the basic differences between these two types of tile roofs:

Cost

First, let’s look at the bottom line. Typically, clay tiles are more expensive than concrete. The average cost per square (100 square feet) for clay tiles is $700-$1,000. The average cost per square for concrete tiles is typically $400-$900 per square.

Of course, when comparing costs, it’s important to ask the Orange County roofing companies you’re vetting about the total costs of each type of roof. Also, ask which brands and types of tile they offer in each option. The goal should be to get an idea of overall costs - including installation - and not just costs for the raw materials.

Yelp Review - 2020 05 Ron V

Recommended by Friend, Very Reasonable!

Luke Roofing was recommended to us by a friend. Came out to give us a quote on a leak and had it fixed the same day! Very reasonable, at less than half the price quoted to us by another company. One year warranty. We would use them again for sure!

Excellent roof and solar installation!

Luke's was fantastic before during and after my roof and solar was installed. I couldn't be happier since I love dealing with professionals.
Highly recommended!

I hired Luke Roofing to install a large solar system and a new roof for an addition to my home.  They were on time, clean, and quick.  I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Very Professional and Conscientious

During the week of rains here in So CA I had a leak in my roof. The leak was coming through a light fixture in the stairwell. I phoned Luke Roofing (as I had used them in the past) and within a day Jonathan stopped by to assess the damage. I was given an estimate within the given time period he said he would get back to me. I was told that they were 2 - 3 weeks out to do the job however I received a call within the week after the estimate indicating Lupe would be by the next day. Lupe is a polite man who spent about 2.5 hours working on the roof. When he was finished he informed me as to what caused the roof to leak and left for his next job. He was very professional and conscientious. I await the next rain storm to see if all was fixed - however there is a 2 year guarantee in the work done. The individuals employed by Luke Roofing are polite and professional. In the past Luke Roofing fixed my leaking roof in another part of the house and I did not have any leaks. I would do business with them anytime.

Absolutely Professional

We had our 32 year old cedar shake roof replaced with the GAF timeline architectural roof.  The guys were absolutely professional.  They arrived on time and completed the entire project in three days.  We had lots of dry rot damage as well as termite damage.  It was replaced perfectly.  Every day the work site was clean.  I was referred by a close friend and I have also referred my brother.  My neighbors were amazed how it looks and how quickly it was done.

Family Business

I found Luke Roofing for my project by asking roofing manufacturers who they would pick to put their roof on. Two out of two picked Luke. I used them for my roof and solar installations. They exceeded my expectations throughout my installation. I highly recommend this family business. Dave Koepke

We recently remodeled our home and one of my husband's "must have" items was a solar system. I didn't know that much about it, but as I was the one overseeing the remodel, I was forced to get up to speed quickly on it.

I interviewed and received estimates from four vendors for a solar system. Gary Luke from Luke Roofing was the only vendor who told me up front that putting heavy solar panels on a flat roof that was 20 years old was a bad idea. When I asked the other vendors why they did not mention this, their answer was "Well, you sign the contract first, and then we send out our roof expert to tell you if you're in trouble or not." Which, of course I was going to be. Then I would have needed to find a roofing company, as most solar vendors do not do roofing.

The best advice I can give is that you want a vendor who can do both the roofing and the solar. That way, you get a streamlined project which is managed efficiently by one vendor who will stand behind the entire project.

Working with Luke Roofing was so wonderful. They were prompt, responsive, professional and their finished product was excellent quality and visually appealing. They went above and beyond my expectations and performed additional work simply to help me out. Why? Because they are also nice people. Good people. Isn't that who you want working for you?

I can say that the hardest part of this project was working with my electricity provider, who clearly is overwhelmed by the amount of customers wanting solar and lacks the resources to deal with it. Keep in mind that this is not a fast, quick process and that it will take some time to accomplish this major project. Be patient.

If you're looking forward to seeing your meter spin backward, I highly recommend Luke Roofing to get you there!
