Scary Warnings For National Love Your Roof Week, October 6-12

PIQUA, Ohio, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Todd Miller, publisher of asktoddmiller.com and CEO of Isaiah Industries, the leading manufacturer of residential metal roofing products, has scary warnings about National Love Your Roof Week, October 6-12, as declared by the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA). Stressing the importance of caring for their homes, Miller's warnings help homeowners discover how to truly love their roofs.

To commemorate the week, here are seven things that happen if you don't love your roof.

    1. Rotted roof decking and moldy attics. Condensation and lack of proper
       ventilation will rot the plywood and other lumber in your roof and attic,
       eventually leading to mold. Metal roofing is a durable, worry-free way to
       overcome this concern.
    2. Water in your home's walls, crawlspace, and basement. Water that gets
       past your roof shingles ends up in places you don't want it to be,
       causing structural degradation and loss of strength.
    3. Fire risk. While some roofing materials are fire resistant when they are
       first installed, they lose that fire resistance with age. Homeowners in
       fire-prone areas are increasingly choosing metal roofs for the fire
       safety.
    4. High energy costs. Roofing materials like tile and standard shingles
       absorb heat from the sun throughout the day and continue to radiate it
       into the home even after the sun has gone down. A metal roof has
       reflective properties to keep heat out of your attic and reduce air
       conditioning costs by up to 20% or even more.
    5. Major risk in the event of storms. Roofing materials other than metal go
       through a process of deterioration that makes them more prone to damage
       with wind, rain, ice, snow, or extreme heat. Metal offers lasting
       resiliency and durability.
    6. Ice dams. For homes located in northern climates, the first line of
       defense against ice dams is proper attic sealing, insulation, and
       ventilation. A quality roof also helps provide great resistance against
       ice damage.
    7. Decreased home value. Conventional roofing materials function for 15 - 20
       years but look ragged after just a few years of weathering. This detracts
       from your home's value and curb appeal. Metal roofs maintain a "just new"
       appearance, enhancing home value.
