standing seam metal roof on cabin |
For one thing, Wright lives in the Midwest, where metal roofs are as scarce as hen's teeth – what makes her an expert? For another, this may well be one of the worst examples of bad editing we've seen in a while. Here's an example of what Trisha has to say in her "introduction":
We rather suspect that her first statement is wildly optimistic: most homeowners actually have no idea whatsoever of the advantages and disadvantages of metal roofs. When it comes to quality of writing, "...decide whether or not a metal roof is the right decision..." sure takes the cake! But moving along. Trisha claims, of "the aesthetics," that"Most homeowners are no stranger to the energy efficiency, longevity, and other benefits to having a metal roof installed. However, knowing these benefits is not always enough for them to decide whether or not a metal roof is the right decision for their home. In a lot of situations, a metal roof is a great choice; however, each situation is different. How do you decide if a metal roof is right for you?"
This metal roofing looks like clay tiles
"With the advancements in technology and design, a metal roof can be installed on your own in a way that makes it look nothing like a traditional metal roof"......which presupposes that people know what a "traditional metal roof" looks like. We thought it might be something like the very attractive roof in this article's photo (above), but apparently Wright thinks otherwise. Trisha then claims that "A common misconception about metal roofing is that it really is not safe for the structure of your home...."We love it when people who know nothing assume that everyone else is just as clueless. Anyone who's ever tried to pick up a bundle of asphalt shingles knows they're heavy as hell! Finally, Faulkner Wright finishes off her misinformation with the claim that... |
"Metal roofing is a great option if you live in a place that is especially windy. It is extremely common for a homeowner to have metal roofing installed after their current roof is damaged by wind."...which is, believe it or not, bull – but then, consider the source.
