How to Choose the Right Roofing Material for You
- Cost . This is the number one consideration for most homeowners when looking for a roof replacement. A new roof can be expensive, and you want the best bang for your buck. If you’ve always dreamed of a copper roof but can’t afford it, perhaps a different metal roof would suffice. The great thing about roofing materials is there are so many options in a variety of materials to fit your needs.
- Longevity . Roof replacement is a big job — and a big expense. Preferably, you don’t want to have to replace your roof but once in the time that you own your home. In general, the cheaper the roofing material, the less time it will last and vice versa. You’ll want to weigh your options against your budget to see how much durability in a roofing material you can afford.
- Durability . Depending on where you live, this may be a big consideration or a smaller factor in your roofing material choice. Here in the Dallas area, storms and wind can be detrimental to your roof, so you’ll want a roofing material that can withstand storms. If you live in a mountain area or a forest, a fire would be a concern, so a roofing material that is fire-resistant would be a bigger factor in your roofing material selection. Metal roofing material is a great overall roof selection for protection against storms. However, metal roofing is one of the more costlier roofing materials. Texas Star Roofing offers many roofing materials for your choosing.
- Aesthetics and architectural style . You want a roofing material that will match the style of the rest of your home. For example, if you are looking for a Spanish-style home, odds are you probably want clay tile roofing to match. If you are building your retirement home in the mountains out of logs, you probably want some sort of wooden roof to match. When your home looks good, you’ll increase its curb appeal and its resale value.
- Colors . Let’s face it, this is an important factor when choosing the perfect roofing material for your home. If you’ve always dreamed of a gray-blue roof, then perhaps clay is not your best bet. If your home is olive green and you want to match it perfectly, odds are, asphalt shingles have the perfect shade for you.
- Weight . This is a big consideration, especially if you have an older home. Some roofing materials, such as slate and tile, are heavy roofing materials, requiring a more solid support system than other roofing materials, such as metal roofing or asphalt roofing.
- Eco-friendly . Leaving little carbon footprint is important to most homeowners these days. You may want to consider how recyclable your roof is or if it is made from recycled materials. Asphalt shingles are notorious for taking up landfill space; whereas, metal roofing materials are completely recyclable at the end of its life.
- Slope or pitch of your home . How steep the slope of your roof is can determine which roofing material is better suited for your roof. Wood roofing materials, for example, are best used on roofs with slopes instead of flat roofs where they are prone to leaks. Most roofing materials have a recommended pitch range that you may want to heed.
