It's spring and like everyone else, Portland residents are busy cleaning, getting rid of old and unused items, redecorating and upgrading their homes. Whether you are building an additional room or deciding on a new roof for your current house, a variety of materials are available for your consideration: asphalt, wood, metal, composite shingles, slate, concrete, and clay tiles. While style is an important factor, the product cost, weight of the material, and the installation methods and requirements should also be taken into account. Know that certain materials are better with particular roofing styles. For example, a flat or low slope roof may need a different surface compared with one with a steeper pitch. You may also want to know if the structure of your home can carry the load of heavier materials like slate and concrete. Talk to a Portland roofing contractor at Timber Home Improvements for advice and get estimates for the job. You can also check online for recommendations from home experts. In this case, metal roofing - for its longevity and aesthetic features - gets the endorsement from Freshome: Metal roofing lasts longer than traditional roofing: Metal roofing doesn't have to mean the industrial standing seam metal roofs found on commercial buildings. In residential design, copper, and even steel modular shingles are becoming increasingly popular for their durability and color choices. If you're in the market for a roof, consider researching metal roof manufacturers to see the vast variety that is available. The options will surprise you, and metal roofing will last longer than asphalt roofing. In fact, today's metal roofs use a coated steel substrate which virtually eliminates your worries about rust and corrosion. They also resist fading, chalking, and cracking even under extreme conditions. When looking for metal roofing contractors in Portland, go with Timber Home Improvements. We are a trusted company staffed with well-trained roofers. Our goal is to give you the quality, stylish roofing your home deserves.
