Upgrades your roof
When it is time for a roof replacement, most homeowners simply follow
suit, and go with the exact same roof that the builder installed. It is
important to remember that more often than not, home builders use materials
based more on cost per square foot, than based on value or long term service. The
most common type of roof for the average American home is the asphalt shingle
roof.
If you have a shingle roof, the most appropriate upgrades would be to
go to a higher grade of shingle, or to a metal roof. Your choice will depend
largely on your personal taste, your budget, and the lifespan you desire for
your new roof. Here, we will focus our attention on these two materials because
homeowners can get the best value from either type of roof. Both styles of roof
are cost effective, come in a wide variety of colors and looks.
Shingle roof upgrades
If you are considering a Charlotte or Concord, NC roof, it is advisable
to consider higher wind resistant shingles. You should consider an algae
resistant shingle if you choose a light colored roof. The climate in the winter
can require a rubber underlayment at the eaves, which would eliminate problems
with ice dams.
Upgrade to metal roofing
Metal roofs can be a substantial upgrade from both architectural and a
functional standpoints. In addition, metal roofs last as long as 50 years,
providing great value for the expense. Metal roofing is energy efficient, which
will save money on heating and cooling costs. Metal roofing typically costs
more than asphalt shingles its long life and tremendous variety of styles and
colors make it an attractive upgrade for any other type of roofing.
