Find out what type of roof is best for the area you wish to live in. Certain types of roofs don’t hold up well in humidity or high heat climates. An entirely different type of material will be needed for areas where a lot of snow and ice fall on your roof. And, in the south (here in Georgia) where summer storms and hurricane warnings are common, roofs need to be designed to protect against these events.

Know what roofing material was used to construct the roof of your new house.

Make sure the material used on your roof is appropriate for the weather in your area. Roofing material choices include:

• Asphalt Shingles – The most popular and least expensive roofing material, asphalt is used in all parts of the country. Unfortunately, asphalt shingles are susceptible to roof wind and ice damage.

• Clay Tile Roofs – Resistant to insects, mold, decay, and fire, clay tile will often outlive the rest of your home.

• Slate Roofs – A long-lasting material, slate is nearly indestructible. Seen in many homes in New England, slate roofs are very expensive to install because of their extreme weight. However, odds are, you will never have to replace a slate roof.

• Wooden Shingles – A good solid roofing material, cedar is resistant to rot and decay.

• Metal Roofs – Used throughout the south, metal roofs (usually steel or galvanized) are hurricane ready, fire resistant, insect resistant and mildew and rot resistant.

However, even if you chose the perfect material for your roof, without proper installation, your roof is susceptible to damage. Contact our experienced, certified Roswell Roofers Company for all your roofing needs.
