Metal Roofing Culpeper VA

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  Metal Roofing Culpeper VA, in this video I will show the description of our metal roofing system with our patented energy-saving ventilation system.  We want to talk about our local area of Culpeper VA and the metal roofs we install here.  We have designed and made a roof ventilation system that is installed under the roof that will allow for air to travel under your metal roof and creates a thermal break, a radiant barrier and stop the convective heat.

I just sold my first house that we installed this system on for as a prototype a couple of years back.  The system worked so well now that I’ve sold my house and moved into another house that does not have this under roof metal roofing ventilation system I miss how even the temperature in the house was, and the lower cooling cost we very nice.  I will never live in a house without this system, it doesn’t matter where in the county I live, it has amazing results in the summer or the winter.

Metal Roofing in Leesburg VA

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  We are going to talk about Snow Birds for Metal Roofing Leesburg VA, also known as snow guards.  We will talk about if there is enough snow each year to even consider snow birds, and how they are installed on standing seam metal roofs.

Quite a few of our customers choose not to installed snow birds due to the cost.  They are expensive, they are $25 each.  We have ours powder coated which should last the length of the paint on the metal roof which is 35 years, if you spray paint or brush paint them the paint will come of the first snow or ice that we have.  Getting back to if you need them in Leesburg VA, after the two snows we had in the winter of 2009 and 2010 most of the customers that choose to not have snow birds installed had most of their gutters damaged and lots of shrubs and bushes below damaged or kill when the snow or ice came failing down.

In conclusion in Leesburg you need snow birds, every few years we get enough snow that it would do more damage to gutters and other bushes around your house to pay the money up front to get them installed.

Arlington VA Metal Roofing

Phone is 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain the Metal Roofing Company.  We have developed a new Energy Efficient Roof Ventilation system for Metal Roofs in Arlington VA, we are installing this patented roof on many homes in the Arlington VA area. 

We started the research and development of this new product over 10 years ago.  Most of the homes that we work on are over 100 plus years old and what we were finding is that ventilation was a huge problem.  In fact, we found that most builder today and of the past have very little knowledge of ventilation or how it works.  We know what we know only by trial and error and hundreds of hours of research into radiant barriers, airflow by ventilation and dozens of other related topics.

Now that we have solved the problem of hot air being trapped in attics and fighting against your AC, we are researching other energy-saving advancements.  Take a look at our video and please check us out at AlphaRain.com or you can reach us at 540-222-1642

We are AlphaRain.com @ (540) 222-1642. We didn’t know the true answer so we conducted an experiment. We recently installed a roof ventilation system that had soffit vents but not a lot of ridge vent. There was about 25% of the total ridge that was vented and then there were two gable vents at either end of the main gabled roof.

We took the attic air temperature on a sunny 88-degree day at 2 PM. In the middle of the attic at the peak, it was 150 degrees. At either end close to the gable vents at the peak, it was 129 degrees.

We then installed the roof in such a way that as air escaped through the full length vented ridge vent cooler air was drawn in through our unique vented eave vent.

Here are the results:

Date: Saturday 9/6/14

Time                                      Outside Temp                                   Attic Temp

12 noon                                                86                                           100

1 PM                                                      89                                           105

2 PM                                                      90                                           114

3 PM                                                      90                                           114

4 PM                                                      86                                           112

5 PM                                                      83                                           104

As you can see by only ventilating the attic properly we reduced the attic air temperature by 36 degrees.

Keep in mind the standing seam metal roof  was not a light colored standing seam metal roof but an Antique Black color.

Watch this video to see how to reduce it to 103 degrees with the Roof Ventilation System.

Does solar work and is it worth the cost is a question we receive often. Here is an application where the answer is a resounding YES! to both. As you can see from the photo below we installed in a small vented ridge vent 8-4″ DC powered fans.

We then installed a small 50 watt solar panel and attached the panel to the seams of the standing seam metal roof. There are no roof penetrations and the fans and solar panel are warrantied for 20 years. That’s at least 20 years of effective attic venting for very few pennies!

Recently we were taking a training class so we could be certified for a certain manufacturer’s stone coated metal roofing. We were working on a mockup roof, seen below, and were being trained on how to do chimney flashing. We noticed they were using a 3 piece flashing instead of the single unit flashing we use. After the session, we asked if we could make the flashing we use so we could see if they would approve it. My son, Paul, and our foreman, Walter, made our flashing. After we installed it the trainer asked: “what else do you do that is different?” We showed him a whole variety of specialty flashing. He acknowledged ours were better but that he didn’t know of any metal smiths that had the skill to duplicate our flashing. We were pleased but not surprised.

We’ve begun installing our patented energy-efficient ventilation system for shingle roofs throughout the Fairfax Virginia area.  Previously, this type of roofing system we only installed in our Metal roofs.  But due to the high demand for energy-efficient Fairfax Roofing in Virginia, we’ve begun installing these new systems for customers in the Fairfax area.  Why choose our system?  Homes that our roofs are installed on typically notice the temperature in their attics dropping 25-30 degrees! Imagine what a difference this roof will subtract from your overall heating and cooling bill each year.  Give us a call at (540) 222-1642 or visit us on our website at https://alpharain.com

Our first attempt at installing a roof ventilation system worked great but was very expensive and labor intensive. As you can see this prototype started with a bubble foil bubble insulator and then a cumbersome wooden counter batten system Even though it really cooled the interior of this historic renovation on this converted barn it was labor intensive and expensive.

In our next post we will share with you our next step in the development of our roof ventilation system.
