QUALITY THAT LASTS
We offer advanced roofing materials that are more durable and efficient.
When you hire us for your roofing remodeling work, we employ a team of trained professionals who are all experts in their areas of trade. Here are some of today’s most popular alternative types of roofing:
Solar Tiles
Solar tiles are ideal for people who live somewhere where solar panels are forbidden, such as some homeowners’ associations. Solar tiles are becoming more popular as they help bring down the cost of energy.
Stone-Coated Steel
Another ideal choice for people in cold and windy climates, stone-coated steel provides an effective and economical option that could be warranted for the lifetime of the house.
Rubber Slate
Rubber slate has a natural appearance and can be easily cut to fit intricate roofs. They can last up to 100 years but can be damaged easily by things like hail, satellite dishes, and walking.
Metal Roofing
Metal is an excellent option in areas with weather conditions that vary from snow and rain to heat and high winds. These roofs can last up to 60 years.
Built-Up Roofing
Built-up roofing consists of layers of tar, asphalt, adhesive, and aggregate. This type of roofing is designed for flat roofs.
Green Roofs
Green roofs provide an economical way to reduce heat and water runoff while adding an extra layer of insulation to the home. While there are many benefits to building a green roof, it requires a lot of time and care. A green roof needs additional structural support, waterproofing and water filtration, drainage, thermal insulation, and a vapor barrier, in addition to the soil, compost, and plants that will create the greenery on the roof. When installed and maintained correctly, these roofs can last up to 40 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are a lot of great roofing materials out there. Asphalt shingles, metal, slate, concrete, and clay are all options that you can choose from. But which one you should choose depends on several factors. Your budget, your home’s style, and your ability to invest in regular maintenance all affect which material is best for you. If you want to know the best material for your budget and other needs, feel free to reach out to our team. We are happy to help you.
Metal, clay, and slate are the most eco-friendly roof materials. If you’re concerned about the environment, choosing materials that are recyclable and biodegradable is important. Because metal roofs last a long time, we suggest going with one if you would like to protect the environment as well as invest in a durable, high-quality material.
That depends on what material you have. Typically, homeowners need to replace their roofs every 12 to 75 years. Lower-quality materials like composite and asphalt shingles require more frequent replacements than high-quality ones such as slate and metal.
There are many pests out there that can cause damage to your roof. Raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice, bats, birds, termites, and ants are all common culprits. That is why it is important to keep an eye out for any signs of animal inhabitation on your roof. Make sure you also listen for any scrambling and squeaking noises above you.
We suggest investing in professional roof maintenance every one to two years. Prevention is key to preventing serious problems. The more inspections and minor repairs you invest in, the better.
