What can I expect during a New Roof installation?

Here are some types of roofing materials to choose from.

Asphalt Shingles – very popular and known as a composition shingle. This shingle is made of composite products like fiberglass, asphalt and mineral granules. They are fairly easy to install and have a shelf life of 15 – 20 years.

Tile or Spanish Tile – they are made out of local available materials like terracotta, clay or slate. They can also be made out of concrete, plastic and metal. They are all water proof and made to hold up to the rain.

Metals Roofs – This is installed by screwing metal sheets down to firing strips with rubber washer screws. This installation is pretty fast and last a long time. There are various colors to choose from. Installation can be fairly quick.

Slate – This type of roofing is one of the oldest but is also one of the most durable. The slate is waterproof and insect proof. Compared to the other roofing options it tends to be the most expensive type as well but there is consideration to that because of how well it holds up to most weather.

Cedar – Cedar is a type of wood which is cut at an angle and installed by over lapping as you move up the roof. It is common near the ocean and goes on light color. As it gets exposed to the weather it darkens giving it a grey look.
