Excelsior Standing Seam & Metal Roofing

Emergency work in Excelsior costs more than planned work, for the obvious reason that nobody chose the timing. Active leaks in Excelsior get same-day or next-day attention; planned work is scheduled around the weather.

Low-slope sections on Excelsior buildings need a membrane or coating system rather than shingle laid flatter than it is rated for. Material choice in Excelsior should follow pitch and exposure first and appearance second.

We inspect roofs in Excelsior free of charge and put the findings in writing before any price is discussed. Emergency work in Excelsior costs more than planned work, for the obvious reason that nobody chose the timing.

Nothing is left open overnight on a Excelsior job — the deck is dried in the same day it is exposed. Work on a Excelsior roof starts with ground protection and a plan for where the debris goes.

Repeat stains in the same Excelsior ceiling after every storm point at flashing rather than the field. Granules in the Excelsior gutters are the earliest honest warning that a shingle roof is past halfway.

On a Excelsior tile roof we lift field tiles in two or three places to date the underlayment, which takes about fifteen minutes. A Excelsior inspection starts at the flashings — chimney, vents, skylights — because they fail long before the field does.

A Excelsior roofer who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as one who will. A contractor who talks you out of unnecessary Excelsior work is the one worth calling back.

The line that moves on a Excelsior quote is deck repair, so it belongs in writing at a rate per sheet rather than as an allowance. Cheap Excelsior quotes usually leave out the flashing, which is exactly where the next leak starts.
