Roofing

Roofing

Spring is when many homeowners decide it is time for a new roof. If you are in the market for a new roof you have many choices to make.

There are many considerations when deciding on a new roof. How long will it last? Will it work with the slope of your roof? Will the look "fit" your home style? How much will it cost? Will it work in your climate?

There are 7 fairly common types of roofing material.

Asphalt singles - most common and usually cheapest

Metal - once mainly for farm buildings it is more and more popular each year

Plastic polymer - Recyclable and expect to last a long time

Clay tile - long lasting, but very heavy

Concrete tile - long lasting but very heavy

Slate - one of the oldest roofing material, very expensive

Wood - Usually cedar weathers with age

Each has their pros and cons. It really will depend on your roof style, location, and budget.
