Reliable Blacklick Roofing Services
No matter the material you use, your roofing consists of multiple panels that work together to seal your home. Networks of clay tile, asphalt shingles, or wooden shakes interlock to keep debris out of your house. This can include anything from birds’ nests to fallen branches and snow/rainwater.
Water damage is of particular importance. It isn’t always apparent just by looking around your home. Even a small leak can result in water seeping into a seemingly unrelated location indoors. The longer water sits inside your home, the higher your chances of developing mold issues. Plus, it becomes harder to rectify, and water can easily damage belongings and pose structural problems. Should it come into contact with your electrical system, it can be a fire risk.
Along with keeping physical debris out, your roofing also insulates your home. This reduces the amount of heat that enters your house during hot weather and helps keep things cool. In cold weather, insulation helps trap heat indoors, preventing it from seeping out. As a result, you’re more comfortable, and your HVAC system has to run less often.
Each type of roofing has a different lifespan. You’ll likely see asphalt or composite shingles most often. These lay relatively flat and use a series of three tabs to interlock. Asphalt shingles are relatively easy to replace without disturbing the rest of your roofing. The drawback is that they’re less sturdy and last less time than other materials. Three-tab composite shingles can last anywhere from 12 to 30 years, depending on weather, manufacturer, and other factors.
On the other end of the spectrum, you’ll find slate roofing. Made of thin stone sheets, slate shingles tend to last the longest out of most materials. You’ll usually see slate roofing last for 75 to 150 years, if not longer, and they’re most often incorporated in luxury homes.

Gutters play a major role in your roofing as well. By providing a route for excess water to drain away, they minimize the chances of leaks forming. Clogged or damaged gutters have trouble with this, potentially leaving water standing on your roof long enough to soak through.
