Find the right roof material for your home.
You may not often think about your roof, but it’s not only a vital part of keeping your home safe and secure, it’s also a vital part of your curb appeal. DFW homeowners today are lucky, because when it comes time to replace their roofs or install a roof on a new home, they have many options available. While each has benefits and drawbacks, once you know a little more about them, it won’t be hard to decide which is best for your home.
Asphalt Shingles
These are the most common roofing material used in the United States. Cost effective, versatile, and durable, they can be installed in as little as one day. Plus, they’re easy to repair and maintain after installation.
Concrete Clay Tiles
These tiles are energy efficient, and since they look similar to the tiles used in traditional Spanish and Mediterranean architecture, they are a particularly great choice for Dallas and Fort Worth homes. Plus, they resist impacts and high winds.
Impact Resistant Roofing
If you live in an area with frequent severe weather, this might be the roofing material for you. An impact resistant roof can withstand pressure of 350 psi. Plus, it will come with a warranty and a satisfaction guarantee.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing can withstand virtually any weather or any natural phenomenon. It comes in numerous colors and styles, and while its upfront cost is higher than other materials, its longevity and durability make it surprisingly affordable in the long run. It might even help you save on your insurance premiums.
Slate Roofing
A slate roof is uniquely beautiful and durable. In addition to this, it’s energy efficient and easy to maintain. Many slate roofs come with excellent warranties, and there are numerous colors available to complement your home.
Solar Shingles
Why not put your roof to work for you? In addition to doing all the things a normal roof does, solar shingles collect solar energy for your home and use that energy to lower your utility costs. They are environmentally friendly, and most come with an excellent warranty.
Wood Shingles
Wood shingles have been used for centuries and are some of the most beautiful roof options out there. They can easily be replaced, repaired, and installed, and many of them last for years.
