Roof replacement is a huge part of owning a home. Age, storms, water damage, or other situations can force you to replace your roof. But you need to be sure you understand what you are getting into. Thankfully, our professionals at Ladder Labor can consult with you about your roofing needs.
Let’s take a look at some of the different types of roofs to better understand your options.
- Flat roofs – Often found on commercial buildings, these roofs are almost completely flat. They have only a slight pitch– just enough of a grade to allow water to flow to the edges and gutters. Built to support structural integrity, these types of roofs are surfaced to protect against the weather.
- Metal roofs – This type of roofing is typically made of a blend of metals and can last a lifetime. It is resistant to corrosion and water. A metal roof can often be installed to cover an existing roof. It is one of the more expensive types of roofing, but has a lot of benefits if it suits your needs.
- Shingle roofs – This is the most common and popular type of roofing available. It is highly affordable and has a lifespan of 15-20 years. The best way to make sure your shingle roof stays in great shape and holds up for its lifespan or longer is to have regular maintenance completed, which our team can provide.
