Roof Installation/Replacement Lewis Center

If you need an old roof replaced, choose The Roof Detective for roof replacement in Lewis Center, OH. The best approach is to replace a roof as the material nears its expected life span. If you have a 30-year shingle, opt for roof installation before or during the 30th year. Trying to squeeze more life out of an old roof essentially amounts to waiting for it to fail. If water intrusion occurs, you can end up spending a lot more to fix sheathing and other structural elements.

If you’re unsure it’s time for a roof replacement in Lewis Center, schedule a roof inspection. It’s a good idea to schedule inspections annually at any rate. Doing so will reveal maintenance issues you can deal with now rather than later when they’re more expensive. A consultation is also an opportunity to explore the many modern roofing options available for your home.

Asphalt shingles continue to be the most popular choice for new roof installation throughout the U.S. Basic asphalt shingles, often called three-tab shingles, are the most affordable option by far. The tradeoff is that you have to replace them every 15 to 20 years. If you want a more durable option, architectural shingles are a much thicker type of asphalt shingle. They’re available in more colors, with higher wind resistance, better cooling performance, and so forth. You also have the option of luxury shingles. These are architectural shingles the manufacturer designs to mimic other roofing materials, such as slate or wood.

Composite or synthetic shingles are a modern alternative to asphalt shingles. One of the big advantages is the life span. A typical architectural asphalt shingle will last 30 years. Many composite shingles, on the other hand, will last 50 years or more. They’ll cost more initially but provide you with a lower total cost of ownership. Composite is also an excellent choice if you prefer a wood or slate look. These materials are often better suited to realizing that aesthetic than asphalt.

Metal roofing is another popular option that has come a long way, and can last 50 years or longer. Even basic standing seam metal roofs deliver excellent curb appeal and are available in many different colors. Steel remains the most popular choice for residential installations. Aluminum is the second most popular choice. It’s a bit more expensive but offers better energy efficiency and corrosion resistance. If corrosion is a concern, many steel roofing manufacturers galvanize the material and apply a zinc coating. Zinc is another option, and it is widely considered the most eco-friendly choice.
