Some common
misconceptions about roofs are: "Lifetime roofs do not exist
anymore." "Lifetime roofs are too expensive." Not so.
Properly installed slate roofs are all over America and Europe.
They are hundreds of years old. There are wood shake roofs that
are over fifty years old and I once installed an asphalt shingle
roof that was almost thirty years old the last time I drove by it.
The reason we offer a lifetime roof is because too many times we
have gone to homes and ended up having to replace the roofs even
though they are only twelve, fifteen, and twenty years old because
of inferior installations and roofing products. We feel the
the home owner should be able to put on one roof and not worry
about it for a lifetime. Today it can be done with proven roofing
products and installation methods. They are affordable as well as
beautiful. From GAF-Elk's lifetime designer series shingles
to their very affordable TruSlate that can be installed on any
home for a fraction of the cost of regular slate but with all the
qualities of real slate because it IS real slate
We have standing seam
metal roofs in a variety of colors to match anyone's taste, a huge
selection of GAF-Elk designer shingles that come with a
twenty-year labor warranty and fifty-year material warranty.
We incorporate different roof systems to prevent ice dams
we design a roof system that will give your home years of
protection from all of the elements that can negatively affect
your home. Below is more information about the products we
use and recommend. Among these are GAF-Elk - the
oldest largest roofing manufacturer in north America; and Drexel
Metals - one of the most recognized brands in the manufacture of
metal roofing products.

Quinn's
Construction uses Drexel Metals for its supply of
equipment and materials for its metal roofing
constructions. Drexel Metals roof systems are able to
withstand up to 150+ mph winds, hail, fire and
wind-driven rain. They are backed by a 35 year
non pro-rated paint warranty covering adhesion, chalk
and fade. They have been proven to last more than
twice as long as asphalt shingle and rubber roofs,
minimizing maintenance expenses and re-roofing
costs. Your energy bills will be lower because metal
roofs reflect a portion of the sun's heat energy and
cool very quickly after the sun goes down. They
keep the building envelope cooler, which helps reduce
energy requirements.
Drexel Metals uses
recycled metal for many roofing components, which
helps preserve the environment. They also offer
photovoltaic laminates that can be applied to your
roof's surface to capture solar energy to reduce
electric bills. And, they come in
more than 30
standard colors to offer you design flexibility.
