Buck's Roofing

During the natural disasters of the last few years, like mudslides, hurricanes, and tornadoes, more people noticed metal and steel roofs withstood less damage than asphalt roofing. A metal roof can change the look of your home, or you can choose a metal that looks like a conventional roof.

It’s important to remember that making repairs to slate roofs can require special tools that the average homeowner usually won’t have in the garage. When you’d rather not buy the necessary tools, we’re always happy to take over repairs.

Rubber (EPDM) roofs use hot rubber, applied in a liquid form, to seal vents, ducts, and skylights on flat roofs. Since no seams or welds are created through this system, it provides excellent protection against the elements.

EPDM commercial roofs are primarily composed of rubber and used for sloping roofs. While EPDM systems can also be used for flat roofs, they will require more maintenance over the long term with this type of structure.

Did you know that research has proven that natural lighting helps people be more productive, happier, healthier, and calmer? Natural light also has proven to regulate some mood disorders, including one called Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Each type of shingle that you think about for your new roof comes with a different type of warranty. Usually, the heavier the shingle is, the longer your warranty will be. That's because heavier shingles use more waterproofing material than their lighter competitors.

One of the biggest benefits of metal roofing systems lies in its durability. The metal won’t rot, crack, warp, split, flake, or peel, and is highly resistant to hail, wind, fire, and freezing and thawing cycles.

The rubber roofing membrane in an EPDM roof can survive all forms of weathering, and has been successfully tested to withstand wide temperature ranges.

What are Solatubes? Solatubes are roof-mounted devices designed to efficiently collect sunlight and reflect it down a tube into your home or office. Because they’re so compact and versatile, Solatubes can be installed in tight locations where traditional skylights won’t fit.

Some people believe metal roofs are more susceptible to lightning strike. That is not correct. The fact is lightning is equally drawn to other materials and not only metals, although the latter is an excellent conductor.

When you're looking to save money (and who isn't), remember that Solatube is a cost-effective solution. Installation and product costs are substantially less than other daylighting options, including windows and skylights.

Solatube installers rely on specular reflectance rather than total reflectance. Why? It’s a more accurate measure of the true volume of light being transferred through the tube and projected into your living space.

Out of all the roof coatings available on the market today, asphalt emulsions are frequently considered the easiest to apply. A push broom can be used to sweep this material on a roof and cover it.
