Roofing Systems

[sky's]

first and foremost you have to have a clear understanding of were the snow is going to land when it slides off your roof. while some people praise there choices to put on a metal roof i have met people that wish they didn't. for example i met a lady that had a metal roof put on and when the snow slides off
it lands in front of her garage doors. when this happens it hardens and your not going to simply shovel that pile. look at your landscaping. if your bushes are going to be receiving the snow then kiss them good bye. railings are another one i've seen entire railing systems destroyed by the snow sliding off. metal roofs like vinyl siding have there place but not always the best choice for resdiential. there are ice rakes that can try and manage the downfall you'll see them on alot of commercial buildings. good luck with your selection. im old fashioned stay with asphalt.
