As a homeowner, roofing tends to be one of the least
exciting things on the to do list. Question is, are you knowledgeable about the
common types of roofing? Here at Alexander Roofing,
we strive to educate our clients about general roofing and options available.
Maybe you’re one who wants to repair the current roof or one who wants to
explore other options available. In this blog, we will give insight to 4 common
types of roofing.
First on our list is Composite
or Asphalt Shingles. They are the most common type of roofing materials.
Made of fiberglass, these three-tab shingles are topped with asphalt and
mineral granules. Commonly having 20 to 30 year warranties, these are an all
around great choice for home roofing needs.
Next on our list is Rolled
Roofing. Rolled Roofing typically comes in rolls of 100 square feet, each
about 3 feet wide. It’s a fast and dirt cheap way to roof buildings such as
sheds or workshops. Although many would say it’s not the most attractive
material, it’s recommended for buildings with low or no slope.
Metal Roofing is
next on the list and it’s becoming a popular choice for high-end homes. This
type of roofing is fire resistant and provides a boost in resale value.
Although this type of material is great, this type of roofing is more expensive
than some of the other roofing materials. Installation of this type must be
provided by highly experienced professionals. Lucky for you, Alexander Roofing
is here to help.
Last but not least on the list of materials is HyrdroStop. HydroStop has several
layers of waterproofing coats that can be reapplied if issues occur. The
material is UV resistant, flexible and offers protection from strong winds.
This type of material usually last about 25 years.
We hope this information is helpful to you before you tackle
your next roofing project. Here at Alexander Roofing,
we want to help you make the decisions that are right for you and your home. We
will be updating the blog often with different tips and useful information so
