Think of your metal roof as an investment. You invested in a metal roof to protect your home, and, gutters are a crucial part of the installation of your metal roof.
Without gutters, your metal roof won’t be able to protect your home and investment. Box gutters eliminate water from moving into the ground around your home. Water around your home is a possible cause of a shifting or leaking foundation. Box gutters also guard against rain runoff staining your exterior walls.

In 2018 alone, wildfires in the US caused massive damage and destroyed 22,454 homes and structures that resulted in $12.35 billion dollars in total losses.
The fire resistance of a roof can be what saves a home when one of these tragic events occurs. This is why paying attention to a roofing material’s fire rating is so important, especially if you live in an area that is at risk for wildfires.

Have you ever heard the saying that the solution may be worse than the problem? This applies perfectly to touch up paint for metal roofing. The performance of the touch up paint will never match the performance of the factory-applied paint system. Touch up paint will chalk and fade at a much faster rate than the original old paint.
The small scratch on the coating of your metal panels that was barely noticeable could become an unattractive focal point of your roof if the touch up paint begins to chalk and fade.

Deciding on a color for your metal roof is a big decision. Metal roofs can last for 40-60 plus years so you will be looking at the panel you choose for years to come. When choosing the right profile and color, you have to consider not only the panel's appearance, but how well (or not) it blends with the other features of your house.
Requesting a color sample is a good start to be able to see the color in person. However, it’s hard to visualize how it will look over a 2500 sq ft roof. It’s too difficult to envision how it will blend in and complement the existing architecture and features of your property.

Color is undoubtedly one of the most critical choices you make when designing your roof as it sets the tone of the overall look of your home. When looking to avoid drastic choices that may quickly go out of style, it’s common to gravitate towards neutral colors. Neutral tones are seen as being a “safe” choice, even though they pose the risk of appearing boring. However, the design trends of recent years have proven that neutral can still be exciting thanks to the popularity of the color gray.
Without a doubt, gray has dominated the neutral palettes and has become the color of choice in decorating and design in recent years because of its versatility. As a mix of the colors black and white by definition, gray has the capacity to appear traditional or ultra modern depending on the application and shade that is chosen.
Gray offers this same diversity and variety when it comes to metal roofing. At Western States Metal Roofing, we manufacture metal roofing and siding panels in over one hundred unique and custom colors. We currently offer over 20 unique shades of gray roofing panels.
