When putting a roof up, it makes sense to use only the best materials. After all, it is an integral part of every home and should be durable and strong enough to protect your investment. Here are some reasons why quality roofing materials are not negotiable:
Protection against the weather
Without your roof, your homes and all your belongings are susceptible to the rain, wind and all the other elements. Using lower quality roofing materials can lead to leaks that may not only be difficult to detect but could also become a nightmare to repair – particularly small leaks located in the attic.
Heat absorption
Because your roof absorbs heat, it is important to consider the climate you live in before selecting roofing material and the amount of insulation underneath. Poor quality materials could drastically affect the temperature of your home. Even the colour has to be considered!
Lifespan
Considering the significant costs of roof repairs, it’s wise to adopt a long-term approach to roof installation and maintenance. High-quality materials have a longer lifespan, ultimately reducing expenses. Opting for quality materials not only cuts repair costs but also lowers energy bills by preventing heat absorption.
Quality craftsmanship
Besides investing in quality materials, it is also important to hire roofing experts to get the job done. A roof is only as good as its installation, and shoddy workmanship can result in similar problems you could experience by using poor quality materials. Take as much care in selecting a roofing contractor as what you would in selecting materials. Make sure they are licensed and insured, and that they have plenty of experience.
