Question: How long should a building's roof last?
Answer:
A life of a building's roof depends on several contributing factors including
the quality of the materials, the quality of installation, and preventative
maintenance to spot problems before they become large ones. Some roofs are
designed for a life expectancy of 30-plus years while other roofs have a life
expectancy of 10 years or less. Research proves that the number one reason why
roofs do not survive their anticipated life cycles is the neglect of
maintenance.
Question:
What should I know when choosing shingles?
Answer:
Asphalt Composition tiles are the most popular
because they are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. Most home owners
choose the laminated asphalt shingle, as its life expectancy is 30+ years.
Premium asphalt shingles provide a more
distinctive appearance and carry a longer manufacturer's warranty. They come in
many unique styles which are more attractive, but also more expensive, than the
basic asphalt tile.
Cedar shingles and shakes are listed in the Green
Consumers Guide as being completely renewable. They are very attractive;
however, their higher cost makes them a less popular choice.
Other Choices Include:
Metal is one of the most
practical roofing materials on the market today. It offers a lifelong
alternative to problem-plagued roofing materials such as asphalt, clay, wood
and gravel.
Clay has an exceptionally high strength to weight ratio
and low moisture absorption. In all types of climates and all over the world,
clay tile is still one of the best, most durable, and classically beautiful
roofing products.
Concrete tile usually imitate the look of clay or cedar shakes. Ideal
for communities with appearance codes, tiles come in many different shapes. The
one drawback to tiles is their weight; they are very heavy, and require certain
structural standards for the frame and decking of the roof.
Question: How long will it take to have my roof completed?
Answer:
On
average, one to two days for residential roofs, commercial roofs do not have an
average time frame due to a variety of size difference. If your residential
roof is very large, or if repairs are
needed, it will take a longer. We
