Common Questions to Consider
Replacing a roof is a costly and time-consuming project, and given its importance, here are some questions to ask yourself when choosing your roof’s new material. After all, the material will have a large impact on both the look and functionality of your roof in the long-run.
- How heavy is the roofing material and will it require special framing?
- Is it available in styles and colors that compliment my home?
- Does the material meet our local fire codes?
- Can the material handle extreme weather conditions?
- What’s the cost, life span and warranty for this material?
- Is the material permitted by our Home Owners Association?
Common Roofing Choices
With these questions in mind, here are three common roofing choices.
Asphalt shingles – This type of shingle is used in over 80 percent of residential projects. Inexpensive to moderate in cost and has good fire resistance.
Synthetic – Made from high-tech plastic polymer and resembles either wood, shakes or slate. Tends to be very durable.
Metal – Made of steel, aluminum, copper or zinc alloy. More expensive than asphalt but more durable.
