As a homeowner, you have enough to worry about with your day-to-day life. When it’s time for a new roof, you want to make it as easy as possible.
There are several things to consider when selecting your shingles.
Your Local Climate
Wind: If you’re in a windy area, choose shingles with warranty coverage for blow-offs in high winds.
Hail: Opt for shingles that pass impact resistance tests if you’re in a hail-prone region.
Energy Efficiency: In hot climates, cool roof shingles reflect sunlight to keep your attic cooler, potentially reducing cooling costs. In colder regions, less reflective shingles may be better.
Warranty Coverage: Look into warranty options. Most manufacturers’ shingles come with a lifetime limited warranty, and some even have wind warranties with no maximum wind speed limitation.
Shingle Style
Architectural Shingles: Deliver enhanced aesthetics with multiple layers for depth and dimension.
Designer Shingles: Offer unique patterns and textures.
Aesthetics and Home Style
Consider the overall look of your home. Different shingle styles complement various architectural designs.
Take your time, weigh the pros and cons, and choose shingles that enhance both your home’s curb appeal and its protection against the elements.
