Roofing materials are one of the most important exterior selections you can make for your home. Your roof is a significant investment that doesn’t just protect your home against the elements and improve its energy efficiency. It also influences its aesthetic appeal and long-term value.
Traditional and Cost-Effective
Many homeowners choose the traditional look of asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles are popular because they strike a good balance of durability and cost-effectiveness. This roofing material generally lasts 15 to 30 years, depending on weather conditions and maintenance. With so many colors and design options available, asphalt shingles have great curb appeal for many types of homes.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has become another popular option in recent years. Though more expensive than asphalt shingles, metal roofing offers impressive durability, with an expected lifespan of 50 to 70 years. Metal roofing is resistant to fire, rot, and wind damage, resulting in fewer maintenance concerns. It is also more energy efficient, as it reflects sunlight.
Maintenance and Upkeep
When selecting roofing materials for your home, don’t just focus on cost and curb appeal. Consider how much maintenance, upkeep, and monitoring you’ll want to do over the long run. A long-term focus will help you make the right selection for your family’s needs.
