Metal roofing is one of the many ways to improve your home’s
exterior. While asphalt shingles are a cheaper alternative, metal has a long
lifespan of 40-60 years, and comes in many styles, including copper, 24-gauge
steel, 0.032 aluminum, 5v crimp, and standing seam.
Alternative Residential Roofing
In addition to metal and asphalt, other shingle and tile types
include clay, concrete, wood, slate, and synthetic. Each material has a
different lifetime and benefits, and the roofing experts in your Charlotte or
Concord area can advise you on what will best suit your needs based on style,
cost, maintenance, and durability.
Commercial Roofing
Beyond the options available for residential roofing, commercial
roofing also includes tapered insulation systems and coping for drainage and
water-proofing. Tapered insulation systems prevent water ponding or shedding,
while coping involves steel, aluminum, or copper parapet, built to match your
building’s width.
Additional Exterior Improvements
Other home and business improvements include: siding, porch
ceilings, boxing, and gutters. Siding comes in vinyl, fiber-cement, and wood. While
vinyl siding is durable and cost-effective, fiber-cement is resistant to rot,
impact, and termites. Wood siding is most beautiful, but needs to be re-treated
every 4-6 years against outdoor elements. Porch ceilings compliment the
exterior of your project, while gutters prevent damage to boxing, windows, and
foundations.
No matter your specific needs, the experts at Advanced Roofing
and Exteriors have years of training and knowledge to assist you with both
traditional and innovative solutions throughout the Charlotte and Concord
areas.
