For instance, being smart about what updates and installations you make can help you sell your home quicker and for a higher price. While it might seem logical to update areas of the home that people can see in pictures and when they view the house, like the kitchen, it may be better to start with the more fundamental structures, like the roof. A faulty roof will bring down both the appeal and the value of the home, and sometimes minor repairs just aren’t going to cut it. Here are a few tips to help you decide if replacing your roof is the smartest decision. It’s older than its lifespan While we’d love to give you an exact number of years, we can’t. Roofs vary, and roofs composed of certain materials can last years longer than their counterparts.

The right roof will provide protection against hot or cold weather, leaks, will not need a lot of maintenance and repairs, and will last you a long time. ![]() There are several different types of roofing systems that commercial contractors have to choose from. Roofing options such as asphalt, spray-on, built-up, and tar and gravel are increasingly being replaced by single-ply roofs. There are many factors to take into consideration when selecting the best kind of roof to install. A few of these considerations include budget constraints, the construction of the overall building, the climate in the area, if there is currently a roofing system in place, and building code requirements. Once a contractor has used a particular type of roofing system, there are often other factors that will determine if he or she will continue to use that specific system. The primary factors include the ease of installation, durability, longevity, maintenance demands, and energy efficiency. The following information details what a single-ply roofing system consists of and the different types and variations of single-ply. What's involved in the installation process, the benefits, energy efficiency, environmental aspects, and the cost are also evaluated. Each of these areas provides specific information regarding why roofing companies are increasingly providing single-ply roofing systems for their customers.
