Choosing roofing materials for your home can be daunting if you know nothing about your available options. You need cursory knowledge of how one option differs from the other, how much each will cost and whether the experts you are working with can handle the installation and care of your selected material. Asphalt, metal, wood or tile – A1 Roofing and Construction Company explains more:
Tile
Clay and concrete tiles are known for their strength and sustainability. Clay, especially, is known to retain its color for a century. Warranties for these types of material can sometimes last for up to 50 years.
Metal Roofing
The popularity of this roofing material has risen over the years primarily due to its resistance to any sort of weather and damage from fire. Metal roofs are considered low maintenance and may be installed over other existing materials.
Asphalt Shingles
Their affordability and ease of installation have made asphalt shingles possibly the most popular choice for most residential roofs. They are manufactured to be as visually pleasing as other materials without the burden of spending as much for tile or wood, for example.
Slate
Slate is also known to be fire-resistant. Apart from this, it also boasts of protection from algae and water damage. Installation requires specific techniques which not all contractors can perform. Keeping it in top shape requires an inspection every couple of years.
Wood
To achieve a natural look, wood is your best choice. You can choose shingles or shakes, and still achieve the beauty that only wooden roofs offer. These roofs are also known for their durability against strong winds.
