Providing Expert Metal Roofing Services
Metal roofs have become more popular in recent years because there are many color and style options to choose from. However, metal roofing is not a new technology. In fact, metal roofs have been around for hundreds of years! They are a solid roofing choice because they are highly durable and can last up to 100 years.
Alamo Roofing Contractors in Portage, IN offers a variety of metal roofing options for homeowners so that you can achieve virtually any look you want for your home or commercial building. Talk to one of our specialists today and we’ll be happy to go over the options that best fit your needs and budget.
What’s the Advantage of a Metal Roof?
Metal Roofs Are Energy Efficient
Believe it or not, metal roofs can cut down your energy bills by as much as 20%! That is because they have a reflective coating that bounces off the sun’s heat and energy. Over time, the energy savings will be worth the investment of your metal roof.
Metal Roofs Are Not Noisy
Contrary to popular belief, you’ll hear the same amount of noise on a metal roof as with any other roof. As long as your attic and roof are properly insulated, a metal roof is no noisier than any other roofing material during a rainstorm.
Metal Roofs Are Hail-Resistant
Studies conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) have found that metal roofing is far less likely to be punctured by hail than conventional asphalt shingles. That is definitely a benefit.
Types of Metal Roofs We Install
Aluminum Roofing
Aluminum is arguable the most affordable type of metal roof because it is super lightweight and easier to handle than other types of metal roofing. While not as stylish as other types of metal roofs, they are quite malleable and can be shaped into almost any type of design. With aluminum, you can get all the benefits of a metal roof without the bells and whistles.
Copper Roofing
Copper is known for its beauty and strength making it a wonderful material for roofing. It has high thermal conductivity, so it will keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Who doesn’t love energy savings? Copper is considered a high-end metal roofing material and will cost more than other metal roofs.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal is a cost-effective choice for metal roofing because it is prefabricated. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easily transported. Corrugated metal directs water off of your roof making it an excellent solution for your building.
Standing-Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing comes in a variety of seam types: snap-lock, mechanical lock, and batten panel. Each one interlocks differently and they provide different protection. Depending on your climate, you can choose a specific seam type to protect your building.
Steel Roofing
Steel roofing is often manufactured in giant rolls and is coated with either zinc or zinc-aluminum to protect it from oxidation. This type of metal roofing is highly customizable so you can create the perfect roof for your home.
Metal Roof FAQs
What’s the cost of a metal roof in Portage?
You may expect to spend between $24,000 to $40,000 for a metal roof, depending on the type of roofing material and style you choose. The final cost will also depend on the size and shape of your home’s roof.
Are there any disadvantages to metal roofs?
Many homeowners find that the upfront cost of a metal roof is expensive, but it is an investment worth considering. Metal roofs are so durable and last a long time; you will spend the same amount of money for multiple asphalt roofs during the single lifespan of a metal roof.

Frank did my roof inspection and explained everything to me. Frank is very knowledgeable and I recommend calling Alamo for your home project. They just finished my roof and it looks fantastic! I will be calling them for additional work. … More

When working on older homes there are always issues and it was that for us. When Alamo was working on the facia they noticed brick issues and former facia not installed flat. They worked hard and corrected all of it. Our salesman Frank … More is beyond outstanding. A true asset to the team. He staying in close contact as any issues arrived to be sure they were not only resolved but were corrected in a most professional way. The team that installed the steep roof did an outstanding job. We waited for a few good rains before posting this review. And we are so pleased to say not only is it the most amazing roof install neat & beautifully appealing, but it does the job!! No more roof leaks :). I must also take the time to point out of Frank our Salesman services and roof inspection. We had several companies out and he was the only one that took the time to truly look at all areas of the roof. He discovered a bullet in the roof in a spot that was not leaking. He and my husband worked together so outstanding to be sure the police had it to process correctly. Never would we have thought such a thing would be in our neighborhood. The police pointed out it could have been from very far away. When the job was done Frank came by once again to be sure we were very pleased. We reviewed some of the unforseen issues and he was sure to do proper adjustments for our family. Never have we worked with such an honest and compassionate sales person. They also did an amazing job on the gutters. To say this company is good, 5 stars is not enough. They truly are such a wonderful group of folks to work with. Thank you. If our son's brother in law can not get to our siding we will be sure to have them do that as well. We have all the confidence they will do a great job on that as well. The old slogan from ghostbusters... who ya gonna call? Well for roofing issues it is Alamo Roofing... they are the best.

I recently had a mysterious roof leak that previous companies attempted to repair, while others couldn't begin to figure out where the leak was coming from. I called Alamo, Frank came out the next morning and in 15 minutes found the … More leak, quoted me an affordable price - and made certain the leak was repaired that same day - as we were expecting another "gully washer" of storms. Frank is personable, professional and has an attention to detail that is rarely seen - anymore. Everyone I met that day brought their "A" game. They have my business - as well as pop and ice cream that I gave them. LOL Call Alamo, meet Frank - all will be well.

I had a leaking roof from a skylight that was previously replaced by another company 13 years ago. That co, Ruel Roofing, came out to look at it and they were very unprofessional and slapped some tar around skylight and roof still leaked. … More Contacted Alamo and Frank came out, inspected roof himself, gave me a quote on high quality skylight plywood and shingles and had the job done to perfection in a very timely manner. Highly recommend Alamo Construction!

Alamo Construction is the best! I dealt with Frank on my roofing needs. He was courteous and knowledgeable on my roof tear off. They negotiated a good price for me and sent the crew to my home and pulled permits! They were done in about … More 1 day. Yep one day! Almost 2000 sq ft in one day. Go with the best, go with Alamo!
