Westfield roofers understand that if your roof is leaking or has other issues, it may be time to consider buying a new one. Your roof, after all, is your home’s first defense against the elements and choosing the right one is an important decision.
For many people today, the choice comes down to choosing between a traditional shingled roof and a metal roof. Here’s a look at the two and what…
Westfield Roofers Recommend
Asphalt shingles
This type of shingle remains the most popular type of roofing material – in fact, 70 percent of all homes in the United State have asphalt shingle roofs. And a shingle roof certainly has its advantages, as Westfield roofers will point out:
*The installation process is easy and can be done quickly by Westfield roofers.
*They have a wide color range.
*They can be installed directly over the roof deck.
*They’re offered in a variety of sizes.
*They’re proven to work on steep roof slopes.
Metal roofs
Today’s metal roof has become more affordable and available than ever before. Moreover, as Westfield roofers can tell you, the technology of metal roofs has advanced quite a bit over the past several years. Here are some advantages
*They last much longer the asphalt shingles.
*Are more leak-resistant than metal roofs.
*They’re fireproof.
*They provide excellent insulation and help save money on utility bills.
*They help you save money on your home insurance.
Considering the advantages of both types of roofs, choosing between the two isn’t always easy. That’s why talking with Westfield roofers to learn all you can about asphalt and metal shingles is important. Some points to consider:
*You can’t beat the longevity of metal roofs, and most are guaranteed by the manufacturer to last 30 to 50 years. Asphalt shingles last, on average, much less than that, but advances in technology have improved their lifespan.
*Asphalt shingles cost less than metal shingles and Westfield roofers can tell you that they’re easier to install. Determining how long you plan to live in a house can go a long way in helping you decide between the two.
