| GO AHEAD, INSTALL A METAL ROOF OVER THAT OLD ROOF |
|
First, it avoids having to deposit the old roofing material in a landfill—no small matter considering that about 10 million tons of old composition roofing shingles are placed in U.S. landfills each year. Other benefits include its ability to improve problematic roofs, fix maintenance issues, and update appearance quickly and cost-effectively.

| THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL ABOUT METAL |
|
Retrofit metal walls offer many benefits such as durability and aesthetics, and the lightweight means little or no alteration to existing structural elements. Metal wall panels use high-performance coating systems with long-lasting fade-gloss retention, and come in a wide range of substrates, colors, and textures. Choose from among preformed metal, insulated metal panels, composite materials, or solar thermal walls to allow for maximum solar heat recovery.

Firecreek Restaurant, Downingtown, PA
As times have changed, many mills that manufactured steel, paper, and other products have gone by the wayside, leaving empty buildings. Downingtown, PA was once a hub for mills, with many of the buildings dating back to the 19th century. Retrofitting with metal roofs helped bring new life to this milltown.

| STEEL ROOF CATAPULTS HISTORIC CHURCH INTO THE FUTURE |
New Holy Cross Church, Trenton, NJ
This church was in dire need of an exterior facelift. The stone façade was cleaned in 2008, but 150 years of wear and tear had done a number on the church’s slate shingle roof. It was evident that the roof needed to be replaced and the church was looking for an economical, long-lasting solution. Retrofitting with metal roofing proved to be a blessing.
