The Truth about We Do Metal Roofs, We Do Metal Roofs Complaints

Lately, a company by the name of We do metal roofs has been impersonating Global Home Improvement and Global Metal Roofing!

Global Home Improvement is the leading installer of Residential Metal Roofing in PA and NJ and is a company that is not lying when we say “We do Metal Roofs.” We want to prove that we do metal roofs and the company who claims we do metal roofs is trying to fool everyone. They have created over 20 fake locations on Google Maps and have even tried to steal the name Global Metal Roofing.com which just directs you back to We do Metal Roofs.com.

If you want a company in Lewisburg near State College than go with We do metal roofs but if you want the leading Bucks County Based Global Metal Roofing with 16,000 sq feet of office in Feasterville, Pa then Call 888-234-2929!

Top 5 Ice and Snow Roof Repair Tips and Techniques

1.      Insulate: The main cause of ice dams is an overly warm and moist attic so installing additional insulation is an easy solution

2.      Ventilate: This will remove an excess heat as well as water vapors, which can condense in the attic and cause dry rot on wood

3.      Removal: On very low-sloped or flat roofs, you may need to shovel off all the snow.  On a roof with a greater pitch, removing three or four feet of snow above the roof line will prevent further ice build-up

4.      Flash Properly: Roofs with difficult peaks and valley’s should have proper flashing as well as proper underlayments such as ice and water shield, along the roof life as well as chimney area’s and valleys.

5.      Install right the first time: Call a roofer who knows what to do and if it is even within your budget consider a METAL ROOF for low sloping roofs that require a minimum pitch. The asphalt may leak every time snow runs underneath it!

Get Philly in Fast Company Magazine – Let’s Innovate

Send subject line Why You Should Start a Company in… Philadelphia to ideas@fastcompany(dot)com.

Here is what Global Home sent…Let us count the ways…

For one, Philadelphia is a city of vast diversity with a stunning backdrop of both historical and contemporary ideas and inspiration. From city hall to the new comcast center, the inner-city to the outer suburbs, Philadelphia is a city of deep tradition and loyalty but without question is an emerging leader in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Our company is one successful example of ALL the things that make Philadelphia an ideal place to run a business. To save space and time here is an example of what we have taken advantage of:

*One of the top 5 housing markets in the country and one whose real estate values have stayed in tact
*Access to customers in Philadelphia as well as the rest of PA, NJ, DE
*A mayor (Michael Nutter) and former mayor and current govenor (Ed Rendall) who whole-heatedly support business and “green” initiatives
*A work force that is in my mind what silicon valley is to programmers, philadelphia is to graphic and creative artists (per capita)
*An area where a business like ours, founded in 2001 can rise to be a top 300 home remodeler in the county and who has doubled since last year, even in a down market thanks to consumer confidence in “green” products such as metal roofing, solar thin film and more!

Solar on a ShopRite = FREE Green Shopping Bags

As the “Going Green” movement rapidly grows, big businesses are persuaded to be more environmentally conscious. The pressure from the community for companies to be more environmentally friendly is one of the leading causes for these changes. And in honor of this change Greenisglobal.net is giving away FREE Reusable Shopping bags to all of our readers who email mike@greenisglobal.net telling us your favorite article!!

Wakefern Food C orp, operator of ShopRite Super Markets has launched a local solar project at its retail store in Garwood, New Jersey. The project calls for 1,024 solar panels to be installed on store’s roof which will are said to generate 303,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The electricity generated will be used to help power the store’s lighting and refrigeration systems, and reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 200 tons annually.

This is a big step for a company like ShopRite; they are living up to the GreenisGlobal.net motto by thinking globally, and acting locally.

It is good to see businesses leading by example. The hundreds of people who enter that store each day will remember to be more environmentally conscious. This ShopRite can serve as a reminder to the community of the importance of going green, and if big business can do it, so can you!!!!! Call 888-234-2929

Happy Green Year! May 2010 be filled with Joy and Metal Roofing for ALL!!

Happy New Year, It’s Officially 2010!! It’s now time to close out the 00s (The zeroes? Double zeroes? Aughts? Did anybody figure this out?) and begin the 10s.

It was a great year for eco-friendly home solutions. Solar panel technology made leaps and bounds, metal roofing gained a sizable following (11% of the residential market), and multiple new, energy-efficient products such as Infinity Fiberglass Windows came to the forefront of remodeling.

On a global scale, people finally began to notice their energy inefficiencies, their carbon footprint, their wastefulness. Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power. The power to change things… to Go Green!

2010 is going to be even better. We hope you’re as excited as we are to see what the new year brings in the field of resourceful home improvement. We’re so excited we’ve dubbed it “The Year of the Metal Roof” but we’re not sure if the Chinese calendar will play along.

Bad jokes aside, we at Green is Global and Global Home Improvement would like to wish you and yours a great holiday season and a happy new year!

2010 International Solar Cities Initiative Conference

Practice What You Preach…

Dezhou, China is hosting the 2010 International Solar Cities Initiative Conference, a huge expo that has everything related to solar power under one roof.

Surely they couldn’t use just any roof for the event, right?

sun power sundial solar chinasun power sundial solar china_inside

Of course not. Instead, they built a gigantic conference center to showcase the possibilities of a large-scale solar project. The 800,000+ square foot sundial-shaped construction is topped by an amazing 50,000 square feet of solar panels which will provide 95% of the center’s energy needs. Incredible!

However, they didn’t stop there, either. The structure is also 30% more energy efficient than China’s national average due to heavily insulated roofing and walls. Symbolically, the exterior is covered in white, as a sign of clean energy.

Check out that solar array!

Lifecycle of Shingles no where near Metal Roofing!

asphalt-steel-shinglesGoing “Green” is a global concept that needs to be executed locally. We have found that the growing trend of metal roofing directly relates to the ecological awareness of homeowners! Metal Roofing is 100% recyclable whereas traditional roofing products, such as asphalt, contribute 13 billion pounds of waste to U.S. landfills annually!!

According to the popular asphalt shingle brand Certainteed, even a one-year-old roof may look different than a roof that was just installed. Asphalt is one of the primary ingredients in roofing shingles. Its purpose is to provide the waterproofing integrity for the roof. Asphalt, which is derived from petroleum, contains the oils that provide ductility and pliability to the shingles. During the lifetime of the shingles these oils begin to rise to the surface, where they are washed away by rainwater. In an attempt to restore equilibrium, new oils surface and the washing process continues. Also, the intense heat of the roof oxidizes or hardens the asphalt over time.

Metal Roofs when installed with proper drip edge and z-flashing are built to expand and contrast with the elements and with a 35 year paint finish warranty, they’ll look as new as the day it was installed! It isn’t just the dependability that people love about long-living metal roofing; it’s the low life cycle cost. Few homeowners realize until after the fact but metal roofing can actually cost as little or less than asphalt roofing. Since asphalt roofing needs to be replaced 2 – 4 times as often as metal roofing, you really need to multiply not only the initial cost of asphalt roofing materials but also the cost of asphalt roof repairs and re-installation man hours to compare to the typical “once-a-lifetime” metal roofing installation.
