Match-Made Roofing

Decorations and extensive landscaping aside, your roof has to look the best, as it takes up the majority of your house’s visible exterior. It’s the first thing people see pulling up or driving by. If you’re planning to remodel, always remember to match the style and look of your roof with your siding.

Roof Inspection

Before starting your roof, always hire a professional to inspect for any damage. Have the contractor look for signs of nail pops through the shingles, missing shingles, creased shingles, hail damage, blistering shingles. Examining for large ice dams at your roof’s edges would also help. Many companies like Dependable Construction even use a drone so you can watch from an ipad and see what they see.

Consider Materials

What’s your roof made of? Due to the low cost, asphalt shingles are the commonly used material in almost 75 percent of American roofs. Asphalt products come organic, made of cellulose fibers and fiberglass. Both are weather-resistant and have a lot of styles, colors, and textures to fit your needs. Though fiberglass shingles are frailer in the winter, it’s better at fire and moisture resistance.

Find Something Else

There are other options for shingles. Asphalt coated steel shingles, an asphalt coated steel shingle is made to imitate dimensional shingles, and they also can imitate a wood shake roofing system. These are hail resistant for a 2 ½” hail stone and are a fire safe product. You could also have talk to your contractor about the possibility of using slate or tile.
