Not only is roofing an investment for your home it is important for keeping out the weather. There are 3 options of materials to choose from. The first is wood, people choose this material because it looks old school but it is very high maintenance due to mold and rotting. The second is tile, it is very expensive but is the most durable being able to last more than 100 years. The last is asphalt, this is a popular choice due to costs and durability.
Key Takeaways:
- Most projects are purely elective, after all, but re-roofing isn’t a choice—it’s an essential step toward protecting the structural integrity, outward condition, and long-term health of your biggest investment.
- If you were to close your eyes and picture the roof of a typical home, chances are that you would imagine a roof with asphalt shingles.
- Roofing product warranties are key, but if the shingles aren’t installed correctly, even a best-in-class guarantee can’t do you much good.
