Important Factors to Consider When Replacing Your Roof
Before deciding on a roof, you should consider many factors. Replacing a roof can be extremely expensive so the decision should not be rash. It is important to take time to think about the aspects of each type of roof and how that will impact your life.
One of the most important attributes of a home is a strong roof. Austin residents can experience extreme weather patterns, and roofs need to withstand them all. At Red Owl Roofing, we understand the importance of a reliable residential roof and make it our business to ensure that all of our clients have roofs that they can depend on.
Lifespan of a New Roof
The first thing you should consider is how long the roof is supposed to last. Depending on the material, your roof may last ten years or fifty. Unsurprisingly, long-lasting materials are generally more expensive than roofing materials that wear or weaken sooner. Think about how long you are planning on staying in the home. If you are hoping to stay there as long as possible, it may be a good idea to invest in a more expensive material that lasts longer. If you are planning on moving in five years, you may not need a long-lasting roof and could use a less expensive material.
Ongoing Roof Maintenance
Another factor in roofing material is how much time and work it takes to maintain. Different materials require different levels and frequency of maintenance. Most people do not perform regular maintenance on their roof and, if installed correctly, most roofs do not need maintenance unless they suffer damage from a specific incident. However, it is important to learn about the maintenance requirements of a material before you choose it.
Color Choice
As the roofing industry develops, the number of potential roofing materials grows. With today’s roofs, you have the ability to choose a specific color. Depending on the material, you could have anywhere from two to seven color choices. Some people decide color by looking at their siding and landscaping. If you want your property to match, you could pick a roof color that is similar to the surroundings.
Roof Strength
Arguably one of the most important aspects of a roof is its strength. You need a roof that will hold up through the Texas climate. All roofing materials withstand the elements by design, but some are more durable. Some are preferable for extreme heat, while others do better in areas with powerful wind and rain. Think about the conditions that your roof will experience, and which materials hold up best in those conditions. For Austin roofs, it is important to take into account how the heat will impact your roof over the years.
