The roof of your home is essential to keeping bad weather and animals outside where they belong. A good roof helps your home regulate temperature, minimize outdoor sounds, and adds to the exterior beauty of the house too! There are a wide variety of roofing materials<\/a> to choose from. From traditional asphalt shingles to more modern options like slate and concrete, there\u2019s a roofing material to fit any home and budget. Keep these factors in mind when you\u2019re deciding what roofing material is right for your home! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Climate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Certain roofing materials are more suitable for harsh climates than others. If your home is located somewhere that sees harsh winters, heavy rain, and wind, you need a material that can withstand those conditions. Slate is known to be durable against wind and rain but doesn\u2019t do as well in winter climates. Asphalt shingles are a great option if you live in a harsh climate. Some shingles may blow off overtime if there\u2019s a bad windstorm but replacing just the affected shingles is easy and affordable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability and Lifespan of the Roof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting a new roof is expensive to say the least. Consider the durability and expected lifespan of the roofing material before deciding on a roofing option. Asphalt roofs can last around 30 years<\/a> with proper maintenance, while slate and concrete can last over double that time in the right climate! Choosing a material that\u2019s cheap at the time of installation can actually cost you more in the long run if it needs to be replaced after only 15 or 20 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation and Repairs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roofing materials that are heavier are more difficult to install and repair. The harder something is the install, the higher the labor costs will be. Choosing a material that\u2019s easier for contractors to install will keep installation labor costs low and make for cheap repairs in the future too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve considered all of the practical aspects of your new roof, don\u2019t forget to consider how it\u2019s going to look on the home too. Choose a material that pairs well with your siding and the design style of the home. Some roofing materials even come in a variety of colors and shingle shapes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested in installing a new roof on your home, the first step should be a consult with an experienced roofing contractor in your area. Always hire a contractor that\u2019s licensed, insured, and has the customer\u2019s best interest in mind. A roofing contractor will be able to look at your specific home, location, design, and desired budget to determine what roofing material will be the best fit. Contact Pro Exteriors today<\/a> to schedule a consultation with a trusted roofing expert in the Delaware area! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
