Choosing Roofing Materials

Roofing can dramatically change the appearance of a home. If your existing roof is standard or 3-tab asphalt shingles, you can give your home a new look with architectural shingles or with cedar shakes or metal tiles. Check with you local building codes and zoning ordinances before you pick your product. Many neighborhoods permit only certain types of roofing and style.

Check the Manufactures warranty , it is usually a good idea to pick something that has a 30 year warranty. Moderate savings for a 20 year product may not be worth it. Remember, When you sell your house the life expectancy may affect the sale of your house.
