Shingle Roofing vs. Tile Roofing
Now it is time to get a new roof, you have had your home for ten years. You have a shingle roof and although you have not had a problem until now you are looking at your options for your replacement. You know you do not want metal but you have heard about tile and are considering it. Your first step is to research the shingle versus the tile to see what the advantage will be. You know there will be a cost difference so you want to make sure you do it for the right reasons and that it makes good financial sense too. Your neighbor has given you the name of a company to check out and you know that Sears also does home services so these are the two companies you will compare to see if they will help make the decision easier for you.
You have called both and they have you on the schedule. One is coming tomorrow night the other is coming the night after so within a few days you will be ready to see where you need to go for the financing and how much this new roof for your home is going to cost you. One of the things that you heard is tile offers a stylish appearance which can complement the home. Plus, it is an extremely hearty roofing material with a long (40-50) life expectancy. A tile roof reflects the sun by up to fifty three percent and dissipates heat more efficiently. By comparison to asphalt shingles reflect less than ten percent of the sun’s energy.
There are also clay roofing products that deliver thirty six percent less ceiling heat that concrete tile. This minimizes dramatic swings in ceiling temperatures saves energy and reduces strain on your homes cooling systems especially during expensive peak periods. Concrete holds heat and releases the heat faster than an asphalt shingle and concrete tile for greater energy efficiency. So, as you can see it is not just a matter of saying I want a tile roof it is a matter of seeing what types of tile are available to choose from and to compare the differences between them and the asphalt shingles that you are accustomed to seeing.
No matter what you decide you will not be wrong with your decision. There are times that you want to upgrade and in the end you find that you are not able to or after seeing what the end cost will be you are not willing to spend that kind of money at this time. Any type of roof will get you through a period of time. If you need it for ten years then go with the shingles. If you want to make the investment because you want this to be the last roof you put on the house then look at a tile roof and see what will work for you. Only you can decide what is best for you and your budget.
