Tile and asphalt shingles are still the most widely used roofing styles. Both are excellent roofing materials, each with their own benefits. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the United States and offer considerable design options. On the other hand, tile is known for it’s durability and beauty. Two of the reasons it has been used for centuries. You may not realize this, but metal roofing has been shown to be rapidly increasing in popularity for its use on homes. If you’re in the market for a new roof and don’t know which to go with, give us a call. Our roofing specialists would be happy to help you find the perfect roof for your needs and budget.

Does Your Roof Need to be Replaced?

Have you observed missing or cracked shingles on your roof? Maybe a storm did some significant damage to a portion of it. Some times it can be difficult to decide if you need a new roof, or simply need to repair what you have. If you aren’t sure, ask yourself these questions.

How old is the roof and what materials were used? If you have an asphalt shingle roof that’s 20 years old or older, it may be nearing the end of its life. Examine the shingles for bald, shiny, or worn spots. If you need significant repairs, you might give some thought to re-roofing your home instead.

A tile or metal roof is a completely different scenario. Depending on the amount of damage, simply repairing it may be the way to go. Since tile is installed one piece at a time, it can be easier to repair. There are also flat roofs, usually covered in a rubber, PVC, or other synthetic material. The durability of a flat roof can vary quite a bit. The quality of the material and the roofing crew that installed it can have a huge impact. Unfortunately water leakage can be a real issue with flat roofs. And we all know that can lead to water damage, which is an expensive problem. Many inexperienced roofers don’t realize how tricky a flat roof installation or repair can be. It is certainly not a job you want to trust to a new roofer. Depending on the material used, flat roofs can last from 10 to 50 years.

Metal roofing is unique in that it is comprised of recycled content. If you are trying to live an eco-friendly life, you should take into consideration a metal roof. Even better, once installed, they can last for as long as a building is standing, which means no tear-offs of materials that ultimately end up tossed in landfills.
