TRUSSVILLE — The Wells/Boyer Family has been one of the most trusted names in residential metal roofing and siding since 1959, when Bob Wells decided to start a small metal siding company in Ocala, Florida, after a career as a world champion rodeo cowboy. The original name was Baywel Inc, which quickly grew into one of the top metal roofing and siding companies in the Gulf Coast region.

In 1963, the expanding company moved its headquarters to Birmingham, providing a central location from which they could manage metal roofing projects in Huntsville, Birmingham, and Mobile. 

Two of Well’s sons, Robert and Robin, eventually followed in his footsteps and continued to focus on metal construction, eventually pioneering the residential metal roofing industry in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. 

Today, Metal Roofing HeadQuarters (MrHQ) is owned and managed by Wells’ grandsons, Jonathan, and Stefan Boyer.

Metal roofing has been a staple of high-end residential architecture for thousands of years, and there are many compelling reasons why. From Gothic castles of Western Europe to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, you can easily see why metal is one the most beautiful and durable of all premium roofing materials. Throughout Alabama and the Southeast, there are historic homes with the original metal roofing systems still going strong after 100 years of service life.

MrHQ is one of the most recognized residential organizations in North America, with features on three different national television shows and a cover story in Roofing Contractor Magazine in 2019 alone. In addition, MrHQ was recently ranked by Remodeling Magazine as one of America’s “Top 100 Firms in Home Improvement”. 

That’s a lot of honors for just one busy year, but they’re still just a small family business at heart, using the family’s tried and true business philosophy that’s worked for 60 years of metal roofing success, “Take great care of your employees and customers, and the business will take care of itself.”

They pride themselves on being unwavering in quality in everything they sell. 

Stefan Boyer said that metal roofing is the best way to protect your home and family from the perils of mother nature. 

Metal roofs are guaranteed to last over 50 years and are the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly of all types of roofs. 

Boyer explained it’s the best long-term value for your roof. 

MrHQ has partnered with one of America’s top roofing manufacturers and is not offering metal roofing and pole barns. 

Whether you’re looking for the sleek sophistication of standing seam metal roofing or the “old world charm,” you’ll find a perfect style for your home.

When compared to asphalt shingles, metal roofs win every time. 

Composition shingles comprise felt or fiberglass material with tiny stones glued to the surface. When these shingles are installed, the wind, weather, and heat from the sun begin to break down the asphalt-based adhesives that hold everything together. This sets off a process where the shingles begin to curl, crack, and streak due to algae and the loss of granules.

Composition shingles also act as a sponge, soaking up the sun’s radiant heat and trapping it inside the home’s attic space. Unlike metal, asphalt and fiberglass shingles hold onto their heat, forcing the home’s air-conditioning unit to work harder to keep the house cool.

According to the asphalt roofing industry, the average shingle roof lasts 17 to 19 years. The actual lifetime is dramatically lower than this in hot climates and extreme weather situations.

Unfortunately, the warranties on these products do not cover natural wear and tear from the weather. In addition, damage resulting from high winds, hail, rain, and extreme temperatures are not covered.

Lastly, in order for new shingle warranties to be effective, the old shingles must first be removed. These petroleum-soaked shingles are placed in landfills across the country, where the oils and chemicals seep into the ground. There is, unfortunately, nothing “green” about a shingle roof. If a homeowner decides not to tear off the old shingles, the new shingle warranties are often voided.
