The Basics of Residential Roofing

Did you know that your home needs a new roof every 8-10 years? It could be even sooner than that if your roof sustains damage. When it’s time to replace your home’s roof, it’s critical to choose the right material to extend the life and durability of your roof.

Below are some options to consider as you do your research.


Metal Roofing


Residential metal roofing provides you with any roof style or color to complement your home perfectly. Aluminum can even be shaped to look like slate, tile, shingle, or shake. Although metal roofing costs more than other roofing types, a properly installed metal roof can save you money in the long run. Plus, metal withstands the elements better than other roofing materials. Aluminum roofing is attractive, durable, and long-lasting, and it could even lower your home insurance premiums.

Gable Roofing


A gable roof features a simple yet effective design that enhances your residential roof's curb appeal and functionality. With a slope at each roof side, a gable roof allows moisture to run off the sides quickly, resulting in less moisture accumulation and potential for leaks. Most gable roof replacements will cost between $7,000 and $20,000. Prices vary significantly depending on the size and location of your home and the materials you choose to use for the roofing project.


Wood Shingle Roofing


Wood shingles and shakes provide a natural look to your home. They are commonly made out of cedar, redwood, or cypress. Installing wood shingles or shakes is complicated and should only be undertaken by a professional. These materials are generally chosen for looks and not durability. Unlike 25 years ago, modern wood products are typically being manufactured from second-growth wood, which means the wood can become brittle, and shrink, causing the roof to be compromised. 


Asphalt Shingles


Asphalt composition shingles are the most common roofing material in North America. They are commonly made of either fiberglass or recycled paper-based products mixed with asphalt, which is then covered with colored mineral granules. While they have a low installation cost, composition shingles will usually protect your home for about 10-15 years, and some composition roofs require maintenance or repair in as little as eight years. High heat, heavy rains, and other weather factors can cause curling, cracking, and streaking of the shingles, which deteriorates your roof’s appearance and effectiveness.

H2 Tiles


This roofing style has been popular for thousands of years and features interlocking tiles. Traditionally, these tiles were made of earthen clay, but today they can be made of many materials, including slate, concrete, or ceramic roof tiles. One of the most significant advantages of choosing H2 roof tiles is to complement the architectural design. These tiles offer stunning curb appeal that screams luxury construction. Clay, concrete, and slate roofing is also much more resilient against rot, damage from insects, and carries a lower maintenance cost.
