Homeowners in our community have come to rely on the precision, honesty and craftsmanship we offer at O Danny Boy Builders, and they receive both.

Storm Damage is not a one-size-fits-all situation.

Following a big storm, most home owners conduct a cursory visual inspection from the ground, identifying a few missing shingles, watching the gutters and taking it on faith that everything must be OK. What often times happens is that damage to residential storm roofs happens and is not immediately noticeable on the exterior of the home.

Uplift pressure, caused by high winds, can cause shingles to become loose over a large area, but not cause total shingle removal. Bruising caused by hail leaves affect the protective layer of granules and hasten the ageing of shingles from then on. Driven rain enters through damaged flashing and seals around skylights, vents and chimneys. When something is dropped on the roof causing heavy debris impact, it may crack or puncture the roofing materials, which will only be evident as interior leaks several weeks later.

That's why home storm roof repair is an extensive and systematic process, and not a "quick look at the obvious damage". O Danny Boy Builders records all areas of concern, deals with each vulnerability in full and guarantees that your home is completely protected before the next weather system strikes.

Time is of the essence when it comes to residential storm roof repair on residential homes. Water will find any way it can when it has to. A small leak in your roof membrane and moisture can be seeping into your roofing system, through your underlayment, through your insulation, and the structural decking, over several days and weeks, and this can lead to rot, mold, and much more expensive repair work in the future.

In addition to the structural issues, correct residential storm roof repair to your home is important for your insurance claim. When it comes to insurance, the quicker professionals get to work documenting the damage and detailing the repair, the simpler the process will be from that point forward, and the less damage will be caused. O Danny Boy Builders can assist homeowners throughout the entire process, ensuring there are no loose ends.

Metal Residential Roof Installation Are the Better Choice for More Homeowners

But today metal roofing is one of the fastest-growing roofing options available to homeowners and it's easy to see why: it used to be largely a material used for commercial and agricultural roofs, but today it has come a long way. A good install of a metal residential roof will last as long as it can be maintained, be energy efficient, be as durable as asphalt shingles, and last longer.

A residential metal roof installed by O Danny Boy Builders will have a lifespan of 40 to 70 years depending on the metal roofing material, will very effectively resist high winds and hail, will reflect the heat of the sun to reduce cooling costs, will not have moss, algae or rot issues to contend with and will require far less maintenance than traditional roofing solutions.

The advantages of a metal roof that's tougher on severe weather than typical shingles are easy to grasp for homeowners who have recently experienced the stress and cost of residential storm roof repair. There are many who opt for metal residential roof installation just because they want to never again find themselves in the same situation as they are in during a storm.

Knowing what metal roofing choices you have.

Because metal roofing is not "one size fits all," one of the first conversations O Danny Boy Builders has with homeowners who are thinking of installing metal roofing on their home is what type of material and profile will they choose.

Metal roofing with standing seams are sleek and modern with hidden fasteners that provide a clean architectural look and are more weather resistant. Metal shingles and panels that are engineered to look like traditional asphalt, slate or wood shake offer homeowners the look they want, the feel they want, and the performance they deserve. Every option has its own price range, looks, and performance - and the selection of the best option depends on the architecture of your home, your climate, and your long-term objectives.

We take the time to discuss these options thoroughly and honestly with every homeowner and walk them through what they will get with their metal residential roofing system for the next 20+ years.

Two services that work together.

For many homeowners, when it comes to storm roof repair for their home, their choice of metal residential roof installation and repair of their residential roofs are related decisions. When the storm exposes a shingle roof's vulnerability, it's often the impetus to consider replacing it with a metal roofing system that will not leave the family exposed the next time a severe weather event strikes.

From immediate storm repairs to long term metal roofing replacement, or simply an honest opinion on what direction to go in for your home and budget, O Danny Boy Builders are the team to call.
