Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a type of roof shingle that uses asphalt for waterproofing. They are one of the most widely used roofing covers in North America because they have a relatively inexpensive up-front cost and are fairly simple to install.
Head Over to Asphalt Shingles3 Types of Asphalt Shingles for Ultimate Customization
Thanks to the durability and affordability of asphalt shingles, they’re a popular choice for roof repairs and roof replacements. You also have the ability to choose between three different types of asphalt shingles for the coverage, protection, and appearance you’re looking for.
Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles
This type of asphalt shingle is the most economical option. They’re lightweight and durable, with a lifespan of up to 20 years.
This style of shingle is a bit more simple, but the exposed layer is often notched into three tabs to give it a more decorative appearance. These shingles are made of durable fiberglass and coated with mineral granules, which also give each shingle varying color tones.
While three-tab shingles are more susceptible to blow-off during severe weather, they typically last 15 to 20 years if installed properly.
If you’re looking for a more traditional, affordable roof replacement option, the three-tab asphalt shingle is going to be one of your best options.
Dimensional or Architectural Shingles
If you’re looking for a more durable roof replacement but still like the look of asphalt shingles, your next best option is dimensional — also called architectural — shingles.
This type of asphalt shingle varies in appearance more and also features a more multi-dimensional texture, which allows them to last up to 30 years. In addition to its multi-dimensional texture, architectural shingles are made from two layers bonded together for added durability.
The main appeal of dimensional shingles is the overall design and appearance. This style of shingle looks great and lasts longer, making it well worth the additional investment.
Luxury Designer Shingles
Luxury shingles, like dimensional shingles, are designed with durability and appearance in mind. This type of asphalt shingle is designed to look like natural slate or cedar shake roofs, making them a more affordable alternative for roof replacements on period-style homes.
This type of shingle is also the heaviest. While this weight helps protect against weather damage, it may not be the best option for all styles of homes.
You can discuss more with your roofing contractor to decide what style of home you live in and whether or not luxury shingles would be the best fit for your roof repair.
Roofing Materials
Metal Roofing
A metal roof uses a roofing system made from metal pieces or tiles. Types of metal roofing include low rib panels, standing seam, metal shingles, and stone-coated metal roofing.
Metal roofing has become a more popular roof replacement material because of its life expectancy, weight, resistance to fire, energy efficiency, minimum roof pitch, and the ability to shed precipitation quickly.
Head Over to Metal RoofingChoosing a Metal Roofing Style
With four different styles of metal roofing to choose from, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each, as well as consider how they will affect the appearance of your home.
Low Rib Panels
This style of metal roofing is a more traditional option for roof replacement. It’s a great option for residential properties because the ribs are smaller, giving it a less industrial look.
Low rib panels are installed by attaching the panels to exposed fasteners along the roofline.
Standing Seam
Similar to low rib panels, standing seam metal roofing is installed in panels. The difference is that the fasteners are concealed on the roof, making for a cleaner appearance than the low rib panels.
As far as metal roofing options go, standing seam is the most popular style for residential properties, as well as commercial buildings.
Metal Shingles
Growing in popularity, metal shingles are a great option for durability while emulating the appearance of other materials, such as wood shakes or traditional shingles.
If your home would look better with shingles but you want a roof that can withstand the elements a little better, metal shingles are a great option.
Stone-Coated Metal
Another option for metal roofing is stone-coated metal shingles or panels. This coating gives the metal another layer of protection against inclement weather, while also offering the more traditional roof appearance of asphalt shingles.
The Benefits of Metal Roofing
There are countless benefits to choosing metal roofing when you hire a roofing contractor for roof repairs or a roof replacement. Take a more in-depth look at each benefit to decide if metal roofing is the right option for you and your home.
Long Life Expectancy
Depending on the metal roofing you decide to have installed, the warranty on your roof replacement could last anywhere from 20 to 50 years. This is due to the material’s weather-resistance, fire-resistance, mildew-resistance, pest-resistance, and rot-resistance.
Lighter Weight
Compared to other roofing materials, metal roofing is a much lighter weight, making it easier to install and put less stress on the rest of your home. Most metal roofing materials range from 50 to 150 pounds per 100 square-feet.
Energy Efficiency
During the hottest months of the year, metal roofing works to reflect heat from the sun, which prevents your home from heating up. This decreases the need for air conditioning in your home, lowering your energy bills.
Fire Resistance
Metal roofing materials are noncombustible, meaning that they have a high level of fire resistance. In the event of a fire, your roof is one less thing you may need to worry about repairing.
Lower Pitch
Thanks to its durability, metal roofing can be installed at a minimum roof pitch. The lowest pitch possible is 3-in-12, which means that the roof rises three inches for each horizontal foot.
A low pitch is beneficial because it limits the amount of air below the roof system and the rest of your home. This allows air to be heated and cooled more easily by your HVAC system.
Sheds Precipitation Quickly
Due to its smooth texture, metal roofing sheds precipitation like rain and snow quickly. This eliminates additional weight from the roof and prevents mildew and rot.
The way panels interlock also means that the roof is entirely sealed and moisture-resistant, so you are less likely to have a leaky roof.
Roofing Materials
Low Slope Roofing
A low slope roof is defined as a roof having a slope of 3-in-12 or less. Low slope roofing includes water impermeable or weatherproof types of roofing membranes installed on slopes of less than or equal to 3-in-12 pitch.
Head Over to Low Slope RoofingWhat You Need to Know
There are several benefits to a low slope roof installation, but it’s important to understand the limitations of this style of roof as well. While low slope roofing is an economical choice, be prepared to make changes on the materials you use to accommodate the lower slope.
Improved HVAC Systems
Low slope roofing eliminates extra spac
