ATLANTA SHINGLE ROOFING
When a roof can account for as much as 40% of the average home's exterior, many factors weigh into the choice of materials. Some surfaces are more beautiful than others. Some offer greater resilience or endurance. Some are more affordable. But the one roofing surface which offers all those attributes in balance is the asphalt shingle.
Now accounting for about 80% of the residential roof surfacing in the United States, asphalt shingles are measured against a variety of standards that evaluate fire and wind resistance, tear strength, and other key performance indicators.
Asphalt shingles come in two basic types: glass fiber (a.k.a. fiber glass) and organic. Organic shingles consist of an organic felt material which is generally paper, saturated with asphalt to make it waterproof. A top coating of adhesive asphalt is then applied and the ceramic granules are then embedded. Organic shingles contain around 40% more asphalt per square (100 sq. ft.) than their glass fiber counterpart which makes them weigh more and gives them excellent durability and blow-off resistance.
Glass fiber shingles have a glass fiber reinforcing mat manufactured to the shape of the shingle. This mat is then coated with asphalt which contains mineral fillers. The glass fiber mat is not waterproof by itself. Its purpose is for reinforcement. What makes the glass fiber shingle waterproof is the asphalt. However, the asphalt itself will not stick to the mat. For this reason, "fillers" are used. The fillers in the asphalt cling to the glass fibers in the mat. The asphalt then encapsulates the glass fibers, fills all of the little holes and voids in the mat rendering it waterproof. After this cools a bit, adhesive asphalt is used to cover the mat and the ceramic granules are then embedded.
The ceramic granules are there for two reasons. The primary reason is to protect the shingles from the sun. The sun's UV rays are very damaging to asphalt and cause it to deteriorate prematurely. This is one of the same reasons that gravel is used on built-up roofs. The second and more obvious reason for the granules is aesthetics. Asphalt shingles are available in a wide variety of colors to match almost any facade or landscape.
Fick Brothers is proud to install asphalt shingles from CertainTeed - the premier manufacturer of asphalt shingles in the United States. CertainTeed manufacturers the industry's most extensive line of asphalt shingles. Pioneering the concept of multi-layered shingles, also known as architectural or designer shingles, the company has been an industry leader in color innovation with complex color blending technology and the introduction of bold designer shingle colors such as variegated reds, blues and greens.
ATLANTA METAL ROOFING
There is a growing list of reasons for the expanding use of metal in the residential roofing industry. Metal roofs provide homeowners with many benefits normally found only in commercial roof systems. Metal is synonymous with strength and toughness. But as a roofing material, strength is only one of the advantages of metal roofing. Metal roofing is surprisingly affordable with life-cycle costs that are substantially lower than conventional roofing materials.
• Extreme durability
• Metal roofs will not rot, crack, break, split, or burn
• Special coatings resist dirt and signs of aging
• Wide variety of colors
• Metal roofs can be made from recycled material, and are 100% recycleable
• Lightweight - metal roofs are less than 1/3 the weight of comparable asphalt roofs
• Many Different Profile Options
• Low Maintenance Costs
• Many Distinctive Styles
• Low energy costs - metal roof reflect mid-day heat back away from the home
• Fire resistance - metal roofs are non-combustible
• Speed of installation
A correctly installed metal roof will outperform conventional roofs in weathertightness under extreme weather conditions such as heat, cold, fire, rain, hail, snow, and wind.
ATLANTA SLATE ROOFING
Slate roofing is considered to be the "Cadillac" of roof materials. It comes in various grades and colors, and is the perfect topping to an elegant home providing amazing textures and style. Slate is very high-quality and very low maintenance, with a life expectancy of between 75 and 200 years, assuming you install grade S1 slate. Though not the least expensive roofing material available, slate has been used for centuries to create beautiful roofs, renowned for resisting the assaults of rain, wind, and snow. With its inherently unique textures, soft colors and unmatched durability, it is the perfect marriage of practicality and beauty, and will give your home an unparalleled luxury look.
What are the advantages of slate in comparison to other roofing products?
• Long life and durability.
• Resistance to acid and pollutants.
• A fireproof building material.
• An impermeable barrier to water.
• A highly slip resistant material.
• The outstanding insulation from heat and cold.
• Highest storm resistance of any roofing material.
• Resistance to chipping, cracking and abrasion.
• A long life and fireproof roofing material. High strength material.
• The warmth and elegance of a natural stone.
• Slate is a natural stone and therefore environmentally-friendly.
• Many colors including greens, grays, reds, multicolor, etc.
• Virtually limitless architectural options.
Why can't a regular roofer repair my slate roof? Why do I need a specialist?
Regular roofers are trained to repair roofs that are covered with asphalt shingles, built-up asphalt, and maybe EPDM. Slate is a very different material to work with, and therefore, to repair. A person who is trained to install and repair slate roofs is really just as much a stone mason as he (or she) is a roofer. The training is very different and the repair work is much more difficult and specialized.
Slate cannot be cut to size and simply nailed down like asphalt shingles. Slate needs to be cut with a specialized slate cutter, which leaves the correct flaky tapered edge. Nails cannot simply be driven through a slate tile - this would cause the tile to split and break. Nail holes need to be punched with a specialized tool which leaves an indent for the nail head to lay flush with the surface of the slate - otherwise water would leak through. The nails are then driven through with a specialized slate hammer.
ATLANTA SHAKE ROOFING
Wood shakes and shingles provide a warm and elegant look (and even a rich aroma!) to the top of your home. These types of shingles are generally made from cedar and occasionally redwood or southern pine. More expensive than asphalt shingles, but less expensive than slate, wood shingles provide a look that many homeowners find irresistible. Their rich, warm color and texture blend beautifully in any natural environment. The natural effects of aging and weathering give shingles and shakes, in time, an attractive silvery grey color.
Cedar shakes and shingles contain a natural preservative making them uncommonly durable in their natural state. They can also be pressure treated for enhanced durability or fire retardance. Another primary benefit to shakes or shingles is their high degree of thermal insulation. Proper application of cedar shingles and shakes gives outstanding rigidity and resilience against extreme weather including high winds and pounding hail.
Concerns about the environmental impact of the production and use of building materials have focused attention on the need for products which are produced from renewable resources. Western Red Cedar is harvested under a sustained yield policy which guarantees forest regeneration, and the production of cedar shakes and shingles is virtually pollution free - making this an excellent choice in roofing material.
ATLANTA CLAY ROOFS
Although they have been around for centuries, clay tiles are regaining popularity as a finished roofing material throughout the country - and for good reason. Both clay roof tile and its modern partner, concrete, are not only beautiful but also extremely durable. With proper building design and installation, tile roofs can last 50 to 100 years or more. They do not rot in wet climates and are not susceptible to destruction by pests. They can be used in any climate or region and can withstand the severest weather conditions, including fire, wind, and snow. They bring a rich, elegant and beautiful aesthetic quality to any property and definitely increase the value of any home.
Clay and concrete roof tiles are environmentally-friendly, too. They are both made from naturally occurring materials that do not deplete precious natural resources. They are manufactured without chemical preservatives, and old tiles can be recycled to make new tiles or other products. Moreover, roof tiles are energy efficient: because of the superior thermal capacity of roof tiles and the ventilated air space that their placement on the roof surface creates, a tile roof can lower air conditioning costs in hotter climates and produce more constant temperatures in colder regions, which reduce potential ice accumulation.
The flexibility and creativity in the manufacturing process has lead to a variety of tile shapes textures, and sizes. Some the more popular designs being, rounded, shingle, shake and slate. The manufacturing processes have been so well refined that in many cases tile roofing does not look like tile at all.
ATLANTA FLAT ROOFS
Flat roofs probably cause more roof problems than any other roof type. Most flat roofs are asphalt built up (tar or tar and gravel), but they also come in EPDM (rubber) and flat seam metal (terne coated steel or copper). Properly constructed flat roofs can provide acceptable, long lasting solutions to complex roof problems. The Fick Bros staff has the years of expertise and the skilled craftsmen required to design and install a flat roof system that will be aesthetically pleasing and function effectively to protect your home for many years
