If it’s time to replace the roof on your home, you’re probably wondering how to choose the right materials. Here are some factors to consider when making that choice.

Durability

You want your roof to last as long as possible, so consider the lifespan of different types of materials. If you’ve settled on asphalt shingles, take a look at different options to find a weight and material that will last the longest.

Appearance

Consider the style of architecture of your house as well as what colors will compliment your home. Remember that you can stay true to the style by installing a type of roofing that uses modern materials to mimic older styles like slate or clay tile.

Roof Slope

Roof slope also impacts how well a roofing material will suit your home. The slope of your roof determines whether or not you can use shingles or tiles in order to keep water from pooling on the surface.

Climate

Snowfall, wind, heat, and other climate factors can also help you choose the right roofing materials. Asphalt shingles work in numerous climates because they’re versatile and able to expand and contract with changing temperatures.

Affordability

Asphalt shingles are the most affordable type of roofing, but it’s important to remember that there are different price ranges that typically correlate directly with their longevity and quality. In general, the more you pay for any roof, the longer it will last.
