Gutters

Gutters help protect your home from its worst enemy—water—by leading it away from the house. Gutters prevent seepage that can damage your home’s foundation. In fact, gutters should be examined two or three times a year to make sure that they are doing this essential job.

Below is a list of new gutter systems as well as products that can be added to your existing gutters that are offered by Shiner Roofing, Siding and Windows.

Types of Gutters Copper Gutters have become increasingly popular due to their rich visual appeal and durability. They stand up to the elements well and with proper maintenance, copper gutters can last a lifetime. Many homeowners like that their copper gutters oxidize to a rich patina over time. Copper gutters come in two different shapes including U-shapes as well as K-configurations, in which the ogee-shaped front resembles the letter K.

Aluminum Gutters are the most popular gutter choice because they never rust and are the most economical. In addition, aluminum gutters are available in many popular colors to match your home. Systems made from primary aluminum, which is the thickest and most dependable, are preferred to secondary aluminum, a recycled product that is inconsistent in thickness and quality. Aluminum gutters come in U-shapes as well as K-configurations.

Metal Gutter Screens and Covers prevent leaves and other debris from entering and building up in your gutters. Gutter screens fit inside the back of the gutter and across the top acting as a strainer, while gutter covers (which can be either solid or perforated) typically slide under your shingles and snap onto the gutter edge. Both systems are designed to stay in place and will not sag under the weight of ice and snow.

Built-In Gutter Systems are gutters that are a part of the building instead of being added on. They are typically integrated into a boxed cornice, which can be ornamented with moldings, bracketing and panels to create a distinctive ornamental feature at the eave. The major advantage of built-in gutters is that they are completely invisible from the ground.

Important to RememberChoosing the right gutter system for your home can be complicated depending on your unique needs. The experts at Shiner Roofing, Siding and Windows are ready to answer your gutter questions and implement the gutter solution that will work best for you.

Because windows and doors are parts of your home that are used frequently and are exposed to harsh elements, a high degree of durability and energy efficiency are important qualities. Replacing existing windows and doors with energy efficient ones will have an instant impact on your energy bills. And with today’s new products, replacing your windows and doors will also add beauty and style.

Types of Windows & Doors Casement and Awning Windows open from the side. They leak less air than traditional double-hung windows because they form a tight seal when closed. Casement windows also open outward allowing more air circulation in your home. Awning windows are hinged at the top and open out at the bottom using a crank handle. They are designed to circulate air and can remain open even during a light rain.

Bay and Bow Windows are a combination of three or more window units that project out from the exterior of the home. Bow windows are made up of four or more window units joined at equal angles to form a graceful curve.

Double-Hung Windows are divided into two main sections, allowing one section to slide up and down past the other. This means that the top section of the window can be opened for ventilation, but the open window is out of the reach of pets and small children. The tilt-in version can be easily cleaned from inside the house.

Sliding Windows are windows in which the sections slide horizontally. Operable sashes lift out for easy cleaning from the inside. For added security, closed and locked sashes cannot be removed from the exterior.

Garden Windows extend from the interior wall outward. Garden windows contain a shelf or shelves and are suitable for cultivating herbs and house plants.

Architectural Windows give homeowners the freedom to develop custom window openings that are expressions of their own personal style, rather than having to design around standard units. Architectural window shapes may have rounded or angled tops or be circular, for example.

Skylights are windows built into a roof, providing natural lighting and views of the sky. High-tech skylights come with motorized open and close features. They can also provide additional ventilation to areas such as sunrooms which tend to be significantly warmer than other areas of a home.

Entry, Patio & Storm Doors are designed to address particular functional needs through their construction, appearance and operation. For instance, entry doors feature solid and durable construction to provide security, while patio doors allow natural light into a room.

Important to RememberWindows, doors and skylights can beautify a home, save money and are a sound long-term investment. Before you shop, it is helpful to identify the styles and features that are important to you. With today’s selection, you won’t sacrifice superior function for beauty. Shiner Roofing, Siding and Windows can show you a wide range of quality windows, doors and skylights that are beautiful, durable and energy efficient.

Quality Siding

Nothing transforms the appearance of your home more dramatically than the type of siding and trim you choose. These materials also serve the vital function of protecting your house from the elements. Siding is a great investment that creates a lasting impression, which is all the more reason to shop carefully.

Below are the most popular exterior siding and trim options offered by Shiner Roofing, Siding and Windows.

Types of SidingVinyl Siding is made from a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic. It is less expensive than other siding materials and, consequently, more popular. It comes in a wide variety of styles, including horizontal and vertical panels and a range of pre-finished colors. A popular siding option is insulation-backed vinyl siding with enhanced impact resistance and increased energy efficiency. Vinyl siding requires little maintenance, since it does not rot or flake over time.

Fiber Cement Siding is a composite material made up of sand, cement and cellulose fibers. One of the reasons for its increasing popularity is that it can be fabricated to look like wood without the maintenance issues and costs associated with wood. Fiber cement siding is energy efficient and one of the only products that is durable, termite resistant, water resistant and noncombustible.

Cedar Siding including cedar shake and cedar shingle siding, comes in a variety of stained finishes and textures. Made of natural cedar, the siding is usually stained brown, gray or another earth tone that blends well in a natural environment. Cedar is known for its grain and rot resistance.

Wood Siding is the logical choice for a traditional look. All wood siding products must be sealed and stained (or painted) to be resistant to moisture, damage and decay.

Important to RememberWhen deciding on a siding style, you should determine your budget, how much maintenance you are willing to do and what look you want for your home. The professionals at Shiner Roofing, Siding and Windows have more than 25 years of experience in installing high-quality siding and trim. Our experts can even bring samples directly to you, where you can choose from an assortment of colors and styles to create the look you want.

Residential & Commercial

Why is Roofing So Important?Your roofing controls heat, air flow, water diffusion and, most importantly, it is one of your home’s largest structural supports. Roofing or re-roofing your house is a long-term investment, so it is imperative to ensure that your roof is built with the right materials by a qualified, licensed contractor.

Types of Roofing

Asphalt Shingle is one of the most popular roofing materials due to the fact that it is readily available and relatively inexpensive to install. This shingle is composed of asphalt saturated materials made from organic felts or fiberglass. Also, colored mineral granules are pressed into the shingle to protect the asphalt from the sun’s damaging UV light.

Cedar Shakes have a long tradition as a roofing material and are known for their quality and aesthetic appeal. Although cedar contains high levels of naturally occurring chemicals that help preserve the wood, cedar shake roofs periodically must be maintained with protective preservatives.

Metal roofs have become an increasingly popular alternative, because they can be manufactured to give virtually any look imaginable. The materials used in a metal roof may include steel, aluminum, tin, copper, or a combination of one or more of these metals. Metal roofing is highly fire resistant and requires little maintenance. In addition, metal roofs are highly energy efficient. A metal roof reflects solar energy, which decreases the amount of heat transferred into a building leaving your house much cooler in the summer.

Synthetic Slate & Shake roofing products are made primarily from engineered polymers and/or rubber, along with other fillers and modifiers. This roofing material requires little to no maintenance. Synthetic roofing offers beauty, enhanced safety, hassle-free installation, and some very attractive cost savings.

Genuine Slate quarried for roofing is highly durable. Formed by natural processes, no two slate roofs or even two slate shingles are exactly the same. These differences in color, size and texture create many architectural details that enhance the appearance and beauty of any building. Genuine slate roofs are fireproof and resistant to hail damage.

Flat Roofing is constructed with a continuous membrane covering. Heat-melted, single-ply membrane flat roofing provides years of trouble-free protection.

Important to RememberBefore making your roofing choice, consider the life-cycle cost of the materials. Some, though initially more expensive, require less maintenance and have a longer life expectancy than others. Within each type of roofing material, there are different styles, shapes and grades to choose from. We encourage you to look at the full product range from Shiner Roofing, Siding and Windows to find the choice that meets your budget and needs.

How Solar WorksSolar panels collect the sun’s rays and converts this energy it into electricity we can use. Solar radiation is converted into electricity by photovoltaic, (“photo” = light, “voltaic”=power) cells, or PV for short. The cells are grouped into panels, and by combining the proper number of these panels and a device called an inverter, a solar installation converts the suns energy into alternating current (AC) electricity used in residences or commercial facilities.
