An
innovative roofing system is capturing the imagination of Winnipeggers
who want their roofs to outlast their dream homes.
Randy
Miller of Winnipeg Roofing and Renovations says Decra stone coated
steel roofing systems are fast becoming the product line of choice
for homeowners seeking a beautiful, durable and trouble free roof.
Winnipeg Roofing and Renovations specializes in the sales, installation
and product knowledge of Decra roof systems in Manitoba and Northwestern
Ontario.
When
homeowners take everything into consideration, Decra raises the bar
on the standards. Decra's durable, stone coated steel roofing systems
have a 50 year warranty against 120 mile per hour winds - and they
also carry one of the highest existing hail resistance guarantees.
Decra's noncombustible products, available in the tile, shake and
shingle profiles, carry a class 4 rating, one of the highest in the
industry.
"All
these factors combined set Decra aside from any other roofing product,"
points out Miller. "It really is the best bang for the homeowner's
buck."
Decra's
stone coated steel products are also highly attractive and are featured
on over two million buildings in 80 countries all across the world.
And Miller says Decra is catching on in Winnipeg.
Hans
Pintea is a homeowner that learned the value of Decra the hard way.
When he built his dream home in South Tuxedo, his roof was covered
with white pine shingles. Although the shingles were guaranteed for
25 years, Pintea was dismayed to discover the white pine rotted in
less than a decade and needed to be completely replaced.
Before
investing in a second roof, Pintea spent a great deal of time conducting
research into various roofing systems. He began by examining other
homes in his neighborhood and was quite surprised at what he discovered.
"I
noticed that even the best quality cedar roofs were starting to lift
and they looked terrible," recalls Pintea.
After
shopping around and reviewing many brands of cedar shakes and shingles,
he settled on Decra through Winnipeg Roofing and Renovations. The
shingles Pintea chose are made with lightweight, zinc/aluminum alloy-coated
steel and covered with ceramic coated stone granules.
"I went for
the Decra stone coated steel roofing because I knew it would last,"
explained Pintea. "I definitely didn't want any further problems
in the foreseeable future."
Pintea's tyndall stone and stucco home is now topped with Decra shingles
in fawn grey and he couldn't be more pleased with his new roof.
"It looks
good and I'm quite happy with my choice," adds Pintea.
Miller estimates
there are 200 to 300 homeowners in Winnipeg who have rotting roofs
much like Pintea had and many are now going the route of Decra. He
thinks Pintea has indeed made a wise selection.
"His roof
cover will certainly outlast his building."
