One spark. That’s all it takes. Switch to a Metal Roof

I was talking to someone the other day who had burn marks in their roof. Not because the fire reached their house—but because embers from a wildfire kilometers away drifted over and landed on their asphalt shingles. The fire didn’t even get close, but the embers still burned right through the shingles, roofing paper, and stopped just short of igniting the plywood. That was a close call.

If you’ve got a house, a shop, a barn, a garage, or any outbuildings with asphalt or cedar shake roofing—and you're anywhere within a couple kilometers of forest—it’s time to seriously consider upgrading to a metal roof. Embers don’t care how far away the fire is. They drift. They land. And they ignite what they land on if it’s flammable.

A metal roof is one of the best things you can do to help protect your buildings. It doesn’t burn, it sheds embers, and it can be the difference between a scare and a disaster.

This time of year—before the fire season really ramps up—is the perfect window to make the change.
