Your roofing material affects your roof’s performance, durability, life span, and appearance. Choosing among several options is one of the most important decisions you can make regarding your roof replacement.
Fortunately, Quality Assurance Roofing, the leading roofing expert in our area, explains the things to consider before choosing your material.
Roof Material Features
Consider the quality and features of your roofing material. For example, if you plan on staying in your home, then it’s a good choice to invest in durable materials. Tile or metal roofing systems can last for decades. With proper maintenance, they can even outlast your home’s structure. Factor in special qualities as well, like impact-resistance and energy efficiency. We can help you make your choice by discussing our products with you.
Your Home’s Structure
Account for the structure of your home. Different roof materials have different weights, so find out if your home can support your chosen roofing material. An experienced roofer like Quality Assurance Roofing can guide you with your material choices. We can evaluate your home’s structure and determine if your home will require any special structural changes. We can also help you match your home’s style with certain roof materials or colors.
Lifecycle Cost
Think about the cost of the material, but it’s important to adopt a long-term view of your shingles. Research the cost of installation, maintenance, repair, and disposal of the roofing material. These values form the life cycle cost of owning this material. A high installation cost can be offset by an exceptionally long life span.
In addition, many factors can affect life cycle cost such as climate. It’s best to work with a roofing expert like us when choosing your material. We can provide you with an accurate estimate on your roof material’s long-term performance.
