When you need a new roof, it is important to choose a contractor who is experienced in roof replacement, home additions and roofs for new construction. At Apex Roofing And Sheet Metal, we have the expertise to handle any type of roofing job. Whether you need to match the roof of your new addition to the existing home or you are trying to choose the best roof for your new build, we can install a top-quality roof that will protect your property for years to come.
If you’re considering a new roof, there are several things to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to decide on the material. We offer shingles made from asphalt, wood, metal, and more. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to choose the right one for your needs.
Next, you will need to consider the slope of your roof. This will affect the type of shingles you choose and how they are installed. Slope is important to consider when choosing a roof for several reasons. Steeper roofs are more effective at shedding water and snow, which can help prevent leaks and other damage. They also offer better ventilation, which can help prolong the life of your roof by preventing heat and moisture build-up. Steeper roofs generally require less maintenance than flat or shallow-pitched roofs, which can save you time and money in the long run. Ultimately, the best slope for your roof will depend on a variety of factors including the climate, the style of your home, and your personal preferences. However, it is generally best to err on the side of a steeper slope to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Our experienced team can help you select the best option for your home.
Finally, you will need to decide on a budget. Roofing projects can vary widely in cost, so it’s important to get an estimate from our team before making any decisions. We can work with you to find a solution that fits your needs and budget.
Types Of Roofing Materials
There are numerous different roofing materials available to choose from. They all come with their own benefits and drawbacks that need to be considered when making a purchase. Here are some of the most installed roofing materials:
Asphalt shingles are the type of roofing material most commonly used in the United States. They are fairly inexpensive and not difficult to install, making them a popular roofing choice. Asphalt shingles however do not last as long as some of the other types of roofing material, and are susceptible to damage from high winds.
Metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their durability and fire-resistant properties. Metal roofing is available in a variety of styles and colors, making it easy to find a look that compliments your home.
Cedar shakes are another popular type of roofing material. Cedar shakes offer a classic look and can last for many years if properly maintained. They come in a variety of grades and stains.
Slate roofs are extremely durable and long-lasting, but they are also very expensive. Slate roofs can last for hundreds of years, but they are susceptible to damage from high winds.
These are just a few of the many types of roofing materials available on the market today. When choosing a roofing material for your home, it’s important to consider your budget, the look you want to achieve, and your home’s particular style and construction.
New Construction
If you are considering a new construction project whether it be a new house or an addition to your current house, we can serve you as well. We work with many builders and general contractors throughout the area hand in hand to help complete your project from start to finish. The process starts when we receive blueprints from the architect, where we carefully pour over details about the roof, such as square footage, materials, ventilation protocol, and other misc. details the architect specifies. From there we stay in constant contact with the builder or general contractor and start the roofing project as soon as the framers finish their part of the job. Being part of a new construction project requires good communication, the ability to work with other trades, and a good understanding of the processes. We’ve done many new projects as the bulk of our work becomes new construction in the early summer and then later in the fall. Many of the roofs that we have pictured are part of new construction projects.
