Most people love the pitter patter of rain on a tin roof, but the sound of the rain isn’t the only reason to consider a metal roof for your home. CLC Roofing is experienced in installing many types of metal roofing, and the benefits of metal roofing are something that all educated consumers should consider. Below are some of the reasons that customers choose metal roofs over traditional shingles.
- Durability: Metal Roofs are long lasting, fire proof and designed to withstand high winds. In the DFW metroplex, high winds are a given, and as such, many of our customers are benefiting from metal roofs. In addition, metal roofs eliminate the homeowners chance of leaks and on going roof repairs.
- Energy Efficient/ Environmentally Friendly: Metal roofs reflect the sun and block heat from entering your attic. Homeowners benefit from 20-40% in lower energy costs. Furthermore, many manufacturers are now using recyclable material which benefits the environment.
- Appearance: Metal roofs can resemble traditional shingles or tiles as well as the typical standing seam roof (an upturned edge of metal that connects the piece to adjacent pieces). The roofs come in a variety of colors and styles allowing the consumer many choices when making their roofing decision.
- Cost: The initial cost of a metal roof is higher than a traditional shingle roof; however, the long term benefits including low maintenance and lower energy costs make a metal roof something that all customers should consider when deciding on a roof for their home.
CLC Roofing wants to educate you on the best roofing solutions for your home as well as guide you in your roofing decision. Not sure if a metal roof is right for your home? Contact us at 1-800-810-2521 to schedule a free roof check and analysis today!

Hiring a contractor to work in your home can be overwhelming whether it is a roofer, a painter or even a handyman. CLC Roofing knows that you want reliable and safe people working in your home so we have complied a list of questions to help you when looking for any contractor.
- How long have you been in business? Don’t just take the contractor’s word for it. Do some detective work by looking at their business card for a physical address. Ask for two of the earliest references and follow up with these references to see if they delivered what they promised.
- Are you Licensed and Registered with the State? A reputable contractor will be licensed and registered. If you have any doubts, be sure to check with your State’s office. CLC Roofing prides themselves on being licensed and registered with the state of Texas and in the cities of Coppell and Dallas.
- Do you carry insurance? You would be surprised at the number of contractors who don’t carry the minimum amount of insurance. Ask to see their policy and educate yourself on what the minimum required is.
- Will there be a permit required for my job? Many cities require permits before work can be done on a residence. Permits generally cost an extra fee, and it is important that you are clear on what is required. Find out from the contractor how permits will be handled.
- Does your work or materials come with any warranties? Be sure that you have a clear understanding on what will void any warranties offered. Also, be sure to find out specifically what is covered and what is not. For instance, shingles may be covered but decking is not. Also find out what could void the warranty such as improper use of an appliance or improper installation or excessive wear and tear.
Stay tuned for Part Two of our post and remember you have the right to be an informed consumer. CLC Roofing will help you every step of the way. The Customer is always right at CLC Roofing!

Temperatures in the metroplex are already reaching triple digits. This summer is set to be a hot one, and hot summers mean very high energy bills. However, people with radiant barrier roof decking report lower energy bills and a cooler home. Radiant barrier decking is just another tool in making your home energy effiecient yet many people don’t understand how it works or even know how it could help them! CLC Roofing can explain how to make your home more energy efficient and help you save money.
What is radiant barrier decking? Simply put, radiant barrier decking is a highly reflective piece of aluminum that is applied to the underside of your roof decking. When the sun hits your roof, instead of its heat being absorbed by your shingles and decking, it is reflected away. All that is well and good, but what does this do for you as a homeowner?
Let’s take a look at a home without radiant barrier decking. When the roof absorbs the heat of the sun, the attic and its insulation heat up. Often attic venilation is based on air movement and as any Texan will tell you, there are some hot days in the Texas summer with no wind or air movement. Thus, current attic vents are only allowing more heat in and not giving much relief to the attic temperature as it continues to rise.
As the attic heat increases, the heat radiates down into the living spaces of the home causing the air conditioner to kick on again with the home owner wondering how expensive this air conditioning bill will be.
However, in a home with a radiant heat barrier, the attic temperature stays around 30% lower than a home without it. This means less heat in the living spaces and less air conditioning use. In other words, replacing your roof with a radiant heat barrier makes good economical sense.
CLC Roofing can advise you on the options available when it comes to a radiant heat barrier for your home and roof. Call us for a home energy check and roof check today! Don’t get caught in the heat this summer! CLC Roofing 800-810-2521

Many homeowners are overwhelmed by the idea of a new roof for one reason-the cost! Yes, replacing a roof can be an expensive endeavor even with insurance covering the majority of the costs. Some disreputable roofers prey on homeowners promising them a “free” roof in exchange for advertising and promise to waive their insurance deductible. Sadly, this practice is not only illegal but puts the homeowners at risk for insurance fraud which is a felony!
So what should you be aware of before hiring a roofing contractor? First, know your deductible. This is the amount of money out of pocket that you will be required to pay for your new roof. The amount varies depending on your policy. If the deductible is something that you can’t pay outright, a reputable roofing company might give you financing options, but regardless of how it is paid, your insurance company will see this deductible. A less reputable company will find some way to “waive” this deductible but that puts you at risk for fraud since the insurance company expects you to be responsible for paying your deductible!
Things that you should watch out for when your roofer claims that you don’t need to pay a deductible.
1. Look at your invoice. Does it state clearly that the deductible was “waived” or “discounted?” It is illegal for the roofer to not disclose this information because the amount of the deductible determines how much the insurance company will pay for the roof.
2. Is your roofer offering an advertising agreement in exchange for your business and claiming that you won’t need to pay a deductible? The roofer is committing insurance fraud if he claims that he collected your deductible when in fact he has not. What is worse? By allowing this roofer to do this, you are committing insurance fraud as well, a felony!
3. If your roofer is willing to cut corners to make a profit at the expense of the insurance company, they are likely to cut corners on your roof as well to maximize the profit. Is that a risk that you are willing to take?
When looking for a roofing contractor with integrity and a long standing relationship with the Better Business Bureau as well as many happy customers, look no further than CLC Roofing. Our tradition of providing our customers with quality roofs and working hand in hand with insurance companies provides you with a piece of mind that you can trust.
