4 Types of Roofing for Your Home

11/13/2019

​Choosing the appropriate roofing style for your home within the estimated budget can become very complicated without the necessary knowledge. Here are four types of roofing materials most commonly used along with their disadvantages.
  1. Asphalt Shingle
    Asphalt shingles are the most used roofing type due to its affordability and simple installation. They are widely known to be used on single homes, sloped roofs, and smaller residentials. The material is made up of fiberglass shingles and asphalt that is combined together. The result is added a textured surface to make it appealing. Aside from its flexibility, asphalt shingles also come in a variety of colors. The downside of it is that it doesn’t attain quality insulation level, unlike other kinds.

  2. Wood Shake
    Also known as cedar shake or cedar shingles, wood shakes are tapered, and thin pieces of wood (made from any type) that can be used to cover roofs. Although they can be highly flammable and have a limited life span, they offer a soothing rustic, classic, and natural look that radiates charm and character. Its attractiveness can add to the home’s resale value, and it is also an exceptional insulator – since wood is made of cells that can be used to trap air.

  3. Metal
    Most of these days, people prefer metal roofing due to its durability, high resistance, and excellent longevity. The most common alternatives used are copper, zinc, steel, and aluminum. Also, metal is 100% recyclable, and due to its high solar reflectance, it efficiently offers outstanding insulation compared to asphalt shingles. However, quality does not come at a low price. Metal roofing is the most expensive to install.

  4. Ceramic and Cement Tile
    These types of shingles are the most effort-some to produce. From milled and ground clay to attain consistency and particular sizes, to custom-designing the molds as the shaping process to form the beautiful tile shingles. They are most common in Spanish style homes, where they have been used for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, they can be shockingly expensive – ranging between $400 and $800 for every tile. Also, they can be quite heavy and may necessitate on extra framing for support.

You can consult a roofing specialist for added insurance that you have indeed chosen the right material for your home. However, despite whichever type you selected, natural disasters are still inevitable that can cause potential damage to your roof. That is why having home insurance is vital to protect you from extra expenditures when these incidents occur.

Fantastic read. I like what you said about how asphalt shingles can provide the home a more textured roof while giving it durability without breaking your savings. My friend is looking into replacing his roof because his clients are planning to visit him next month. I'll be sure to let him know about asphalt shingles and suggest that he hire a roofing expert for this task.
