Tips For Choosing the Right Style of Roof for
Your Home
2

• As an expensive home improvement, having a new
  roof fitted is not something you should rush
  into, and youll need to make sure you choose the
  right style to suit your home and give both you
  and it, a good level of protection.
• While your budget may be dictating what type of
  roof you choose, its still wise to consider all
  the options, as not only can a new roof add value
  to your property, but it can be an important
  selling point when you do come to put your
  property on the market.
• Below is plenty of information to help you decide
  what type of roof would best suit your home, and
  your budget

• Asphalt shingles arguably the most popular
  roofing style
• Durable and affordable, asphalt shingles are
  available in a wide selection of colors and
  styles, are waterproof, simple to install and
  suit a range of temperatures. Lasting around 20
  years before repair work might need to be carried
  out, it is however, important to note that
  intense sunlight or extreme temperatures can
  shorten an asphalt roofs lifespan.

• Slate the more upscale choice
• Looking stylish, being fire resistant and easy to
  maintain, a high-quality slate roof is also
  resistant to rot and fading, and can last up to 4
  times as long as an asphalt roof. Coming in a
  wide range of colors and styles, its easy to
  find a design that will suit your home. That
  said, if you live in a region that typically
  experiences weather fluctuations, slate tiles may
  erode quicker than in other climates and are also
  quite fragile.

• Metal shingles growing in popularity
• Thanks to their low maintenance requirements and
  lightweight structure, metal roofs are growing in
  popularity, and theyre environmentally friendly,
  too. Able to last for as long as 60 years, they
  are also extremely effective in many extreme
  weather conditions, but can be noisy during heavy
  rain or a hailstorm.
• Wood shake shingles an environmentally friendly
  option
• Made from naturally renewable resources, wooden
  shake shingle roofs are environmentally friendly
  and can last for as long as 40 years, provided
  theyre well maintained. This can involve
  removing debris as soon as you see it, getting
  rid of moss and swiftly replacing any warped,
  cupped or split shakes.

• If you would like to discuss your roofing options
  in more detail, reach out to a local roofing
  specialist who can visit your home (or look at
  your plans for building a new home), and give you
  up-to-date advice and guidance. Remember that
  while a new roof is a big investment, it doesnt
  pay to cut corners, and you should always work
  with a qualified and reputable roofing contractor.
