The Metal Roof
Durable And Long Lasting
A Lifetime Of Benefits And Savings – Metal roofing has been around for many years and for good reason. It can last a lifetime with very little to no maintenance and give the home or business owner a break on their taxes, long term savings on their power bill and the satisfaction of knowing that the people and items under their metal roof are safe and protected from harsh elements that hit year after year.
A Practical And Economical Solution – Metal roofs have become a popular alternative to traditional roofing materials. This is due to the fact that metal is lightweight, maintenance-free, fireproof, energy efficient, durable, and can be manufactured to give virtually any look conceivable. Furthermore, metal roofs have a life expectancy of over 30 years and houses with metal roofs may receive a discount on the homeowner’s insurance.

What Is Under My Metal Roof?
When it comes to metal roof you have a few options. First if this is new construction or a roof removal you will have a felt paper or a synthetic or a high temp peel and seal underlayment. We all know about tar-paper it has been around for years and still is in use today.
When it comes to underlayment there are three main types. The felt paper that has been around forever, the synthetic underlayment and peel & stick underlayment, have been around for some years now and are here to stay. When you hear about drying in your roof one of these underlayment’s will be used in almost every new roof install.
Now we get into the options you have if you have a existing shingle roof.
1. You can remove your existing shingle roof down to the roof deck and replace any damaged/rotten wood plus re-nail your roof decking to bring up to code. Install underlayment any of the three. The High Temp peel & Seal is best for this application.
2. If the roof is solid and maybe on a spot or two of bad wood needing to be replaced, we can install a barrier sheet (synthetic underlayment) onto the existing shingles. Fabricate and install new edge metal and install the new metal roof onto the barrier sheet.
3. If the roof is solid and maybe on a spot or two of bad wood needing to be replaced, we can install a 1″x4″ wood batten grid onto the existing shingle roof. Fabricate and install new edge metal and install the new metal roof onto the 1″x4″ wood batten grid. Note the spacing between battens will be 24″.
4. If the roof is solid and maybe on a spot or two of bad wood needing to be replaced, we can install a 1″x4″ wood batten grid onto the existing shingle roof with 1/2″ dense insulation board installed between the wood battens. Fabricate and install new edge metal and install the new metal roof onto the 1″x4″ wood batten grid. Note the spacing between battens will be 24″.
Types Of Underlayment
Felt Papers – Felt paper has been used for years and for good reason. It does the job and is cost effective. Felt roofing underlayment is asphalt saturated. There are #15 and #30 felt papers with the #30 installed onto most roofs between the roof deck and the shingles.
Synthetics – The Synthetic Underlayment is lightweight and durable, cost-effective, and is a reliable replacement to felt papers. Synthetic Underlayment is composed of water-resistant polyolefin with an exceptional, non-woven, slip-resistant surface.
Peel & Seal – The P&S underlayment has been around for a while now. For metal roofs the P&S is an asphalt based product made so that one side is adhered to the roof deck via a thin plastic that is peeled off the underside and a protective barrier layer on the top side. Under metal roofs it is recommend to use a High Temp underlayment. This is the underlayment we use under most of our metal roof installs on new construction and existing roof removal.
What Are The Different Types Of Metal Roofs?
Metal roofing is available in many styles and shapes, such as a concealed fastener standing seam, an exposed fastener master rib along with metal shingles. Below you will find Images and details of roof panels we offer. If you do not find what you are looking for give us a call. (352 754-8600)
To keep this page short we are going to go over the two most used roof panel types. The exposed fastener metal roof panel and the concealed fastener metal roof panel. You should note that different manufactures, name their panels something to do with their business but all panels look alike, they are just called by a different name.
The exposed fastener metal roof panel. As the name states these panels are fastened down with screws thru the metal roof panel. Most of these panels come in 3′ wide and 2′ wide by whatever length is needed. The 3′ wide panel has ribs on 9″ centers with a rib height of about 1″ and the 2′ wide panel is most often a 5-V Crimp panel with W style ribs every 2′ apart and a single center rib with a rib height of about 3/4″. These panels are fastened thru the panel with a screw using a neoprene washer to keep it water tight.
The concealed fastener metal roof panel. As the name states these panels are fastened down with screws using clips or nail strip under the metal roof panel. The roof panel is then installed by locking one panel down onto the other panel. These panels come in sizes from 12″ wide and 2′ wide by whatever length is needed. The rib height is from 1″ to 2″. To keep what in the metal roofing industry is called oil canning down, a striated panels are recommended. Note if you chose not to go with a striated panel the metal panel supplier will ask you to sign a oil canning waiver. This is common in the metal roofing industry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A new roof is a big investment and people always have a lot of questions before making any decisions, below are some of the more common ones…
Click on a box below and it will open for more information.
Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, most roofing work shouldn’t be carried out yourself. Also keep in mind that most manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a licensed professional carries out the work. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof can be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money? JK Johns is family owned and operated, we have been in the roofing business for over 35 years. To get started you can give us a call (352 754-8600)or stop by our office located at 3323 Mustang Dr. in Brooksville, FL. 34604.
To get started just give us a call. We will answer any questions you have. Set up a time to come out and measure your roof and see how much material your roof will need and if there are any special conditions. We will then work up an proposal for your new roof. Today with email we can have your proposal over to you in a timely matter.
You will need a permit for your new roof. Not to worry as we will take care of pulling your permit. In order to pull your permit we will need a Notice Of Commencement (NOC). We will send you an NOC and you will need to fill it out and get it back to us. We take the NOC to the courthouse and file it. The courthouse will give us the proper paper work to take to the permit office and pull your permit. Once we have your permit we can set a date to start your new roof.
There are many steps when re-roofing your home.
- We have a dump trailer dropped off.
- The roofing material will be delivered.
- We remove your existing roof.
- Replace any damaged/rotten wood.
- Re-Nail roof deck to bring up to code.
- Install new underlayment.
- Install new lead boots, GRV roof vents,
- Install new roof shingles.
- If in the contract we will install new ridge venting and skylights, gutter.
- Clean up debris and remove dump trailer.
Since your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to degrade over time. The rate at which it degrades will depend on a number of factors. These include; the quality of the original materials used and the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 50 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
Depending on what county you live in your roof will get one or two inspections. Some counties require an affidavit stated that the roof deck was re-nailed to bring up to code. All roofs will receive a final roof inspection from the county.
