Ray St. Clair Roofing has been the Greater Cincinnati area’s go-to home enhancement specialists for more than 60 years, so they have really seen it all. There are several roofing myths that are still pervasive, and people may not even realize that those myths have, in fact, been debunked. 

Here are three of the more common tall tales you might still believe, and the roofing repair professionals at Ray St. Clair Roofing want to set the record straight:

• Metal Roofing Attracts Lightning: Have no fear, your metal roof is not inviting a destructive lightning strike. Certainly, metal is a natural conductor of electricity, but that doesn’t mean lighting is going to aim for your roof. Objects that are tall, like trees or antennas, are far more likely to be struck.
• Metal Roofs Are Liable To Rust: Metal roofing is actually quite resilient, and often has a rust-resistant coating.
• Wood Or Asphalt Shingles Can't Withstand High-Pressure Washing: Untrue! Most roof shingles today can be cleaned; however, cleaning should only be performed by a professional. The professionals at Ray St. Clair Roofing not only know how to safely clean a wet, slippery roof, but they also know how to be harnessed properly while being up on your roof. In addition, they know the optimal time to clean temperature wise, as well as how much pressure to use to get rid of the mold, algae, and fungus with the proper cleaning solution and pressure washing equipment.
