Structural Integrity 

When major storms roll through Arkansas, hail of various shapes and sizes is a possibility. Hail can be dangerous and destructive to your home and its roof. Regular asphalt roofing systems can experience large holes and tears as a result of hail, which will lead to leaks and damage to your home. Depending on the intensity of the storm, asphalt roofs tend to need entire replacements that do nothing to protect you against the next storm.

Metal roofs, however, are less likely to suffer open gashes and holes as a result of hail. Hail can still leave sizable dents in your metal roof, but depending on the structural support system that was installed below it, your metal roof will be less likely to dent in the event of a storm. Most damages to metal roofs as a result of storms are cosmetic, and your insurance company is likely to provide coverage for these repairs.

At Permasteel, our metal roofing systems come with a fifty year warranty to ensure that your investments last. If your Permasteel metal roof has experienced damage and needs repairs, contact us!
