Not too long ago, metal roofing was synonymous with corrugated panels. But times have changed, and metal can now be made to look like stone, wood, or clay. The main benefit of using metal over other materials is longevity — manufacturers frequently offer 50-year warranties, or even lifetime warranties.

Determining the right barn size, however, can be quite an undertaking considering how storage and functional needs seem to grow quickly.

Many people get caught with a leaky roof dilemma in the Winter months. If a leak appears during the Winter, is it best to wait and repair it during the Spring or take action immediately?

For that reason, it’s recommended that leaky roofs are repaired as soon as possible. To the surprise of many, roofers do work throughout the Winter. While it’s more common to repair roofs during the warmer weather, some roofs are suitable for cold weather repair. Here are roofing materials that can be installed during the Winter, and others that will need to wait until Spring.
