When it comes to a house, there is almost nothing more crucial than the roof. It is the capstone of the home. Without it, the house is not a complete house. So, when it comes to residential roofing, durability and quality is of utmost importance. Residential roofing is an area of home construction that is highly dependent on quality contractors, and Hicks Residential Roofing can ensure your new roof is top-notch.
Installing a new roof is something that, if done properly, will last for years. Some of the most popular types of residential roofing shingles are as follows:
- Asphalt shingles. Generally, the most popular type of shingle used in North America due to its durability, versatility, and affordability, asphalt shingles can often last between fifteen to thirty years.
- Metal. With their extremely long lifespans (probably longer than the homeowners!), metal shingles are a great option for durability and energy efficiency, as they can help reflect heat.
- Clay. With a very long lifespan and great energy efficiency, clay shingles can add a lot of resale value to your home due to their aesthetically pleasing curb appeal.
- Slate. Although the most expensive option for most homeowners, slate roofs can last well over a century, making them a great long-term investment.
Residential roofing can greatly vary in terms of style, durability, and affordability; all of which needs to be catered to the individual homeowner based on their wants and needs. Contact us for an estimate to begin planning your dream roof today.
