A full roof replacement is a major home improvement project that should ultimately ensure your family’s comfort and safety. Of course, it doesn’t hurt if your shingles improve your home’s curb appeal and make your house more energy-efficient! You might already have a certain look or material in mind for your next roof, but what are the factors that really matter? It comes down to the following basics.
1. Material. Not every material can be used on every roof. Flat or low-slope roofs must use a different material than a roof with a steeper pitch. Certain materials like tile or slate can be heavy. You want to make sure that the current frame of your roof can handle it, so seek the guidance of a Troy roofing professional before choosing a material.
2. Cost. Different materials and the size of your roof can affect how much the job is going to cost you. Another factor than can affect cost is whether you’re going to replace the roof completely or reroof over the old shingles.
3. Climate. The type of material should always be selected with our local weather and climate in mind. Some materials can help your roof last longer in certain weather conditions.
4. Contractor. The contractor you select for the job should be licensed and experienced to guarantee you’re protecting your investment.
