Sorting Through the Options for Your New Roof
There are many options for homeowners to choose from when replacing a roof, depending on the constraints of the climate, location, taste of the homeowners and even a desire to reinforce continuity of appearance within a neighborhood. Roofing options may include composite, very common, affordable and long lasting; metal, lasts seemingly forever but some homeowners dislike the noise and appearance; cedar shake, which has a rough, informal, rustic appearance; asphalt, which is a classic choice, durable and appropriate for almost any home; and beautiful options like terra cotta tile (common in the Southwest and West) and slate, which can give a home an elegant, stately appearance. There are materials appropriate for every home and every budget, and most professional contractors have the ability to install almost all of the choices.
Know the Roof Replacement Process, Going In
Whether your preference is for asphalt shingles, standing seam metal roofing, tiles, or one of the many green alternatives like eco-shake, the process of replacing a roof is reasonably straightforward: roofers will begin the project by removing the current roofing materials. They will then reinforce, fix, or replace any issues with the sub-roof itself, including sealing any crevices from moisture. When this is complete, they will begin the process of replacing the original by first applying a thin layer of black material over the now-bare roof, which provides provides back-up protection against moisture or other damage that might occur as a result of wind or falling tree branches. The tiles or shingles will then be affixed (accompanied by the rapid-fire noise of a nail gun in the case of shingles).
Following the replacement, most roofing companies will then remove all building materials and rubbish produced by the replacement, providing a dumpster and then removing it when the job is complete. And when the process is complete, the homeowner can relax and stop worrying!
