The roof of a house plays an important role in preserving the house and maintaining its value in the resale market. The life of the roof depends on the roofing materials used, the local weather conditions, care taken during the installation process and the level of maintenance applied to it. Asphalt and wood shingle roofs can last for 30 to 40 years, respectively. Clay tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 years whereas metal roofs can last for more than 40 years. When deciding on the type, texture and color of your roofing material, keep in mid that it will need to match with the siding you pick for your remodel. Sure, functionality is the main selling point when it comes to new roofing, but as a homeowner who takes pride in your home, you want your new roof to look good too. The roof is a very important component of every home. The roof saves us from whatever is dished out by the nature like rain, winds, cold or heat. We sleep and live in our homes with a great comfort due to this all-important roof. Therefore, it is our responsibility to take care of the roof so that it can take better care of us. As nothing in this world is everlasting, there always comes a time in every home when the replacement of the roof is necessary.

Roofing Material Basics

While architectural shingles in some colors look a lot like slate – from a distance – or like wood shakes. A wood shingle roof that weathers helps to ensure that your home will look like it’s always been a part of the landscape and that roofs that are made with rougher, thicker wood shakes that add even more character to your home. There are a couple of drawbacks to wood shingles and shakes; first, they cost a bit more. The other drawback is that they require more maintenance than other roofing materials.
A great option for those who love the look of wood shingles and shakes is to take a look at the so-called fakes. In areas where there is a risk of fire (think California and other areas where wildfires spread) and there are local codes in place that require roofing materials to be fireproof, these “fake shakes” are able to look like wood and meet that requirement.
By taking the time to talk with professionals when you are looking into roofing materials, you’ll find that you’re able to get more information about your options – and the pros and cons of each of them. Doing so will enable you to know that you’re getting a beautiful roof that is long lasting, will not break the bank, and will meet all of your needs.
