Options For Replacing Roofs – Dayton Home Improvement

Homes are a huge investment and are actually the most expensive purchases that most consumers make. Roofs perform a valuable service and protect the home’s structural components and interior finishes from water damage. Most roofs last for at least 20 years, and homeowners should expect to replace theirs at some point in time. Dayton roof replacement commonly makes use of several different materials. Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular products because they are affordable, durable and come in a range of different colors and styles. Metal panels, clay tiles and cedar shakes are among the other most common materials that are used for a Dayton roof replacement.

The Advantages of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing materials for good reason. The product is made from a base of asphalt and fiberglass or an organic material. On the shingle’s top surface, there are granules that provide colors and shadows. The granules also provide valuable protection and help the underlying material resist the effects of constant sun exposure.

Asphalt shingles come in a range of different qualities and price options. The most affordable materials are usually backed with a 20-year warranty. Some products feature a thicker base and are warrantied for up to 40 years. Because there are a range of different color choices with asphalt shingles, Dayton homeowners are sure to find the product that is right for the exterior of their home.

Metal Panels
Metal is becoming more popular in the residential roofing industry. Like asphalt shingles, there are a range of different qualities and prices. The most affordable metal panels are usually three-feet-wide. Custom panels are also available, and the material has a higher initial cost. When a metal roofing material is considered with respect to its lifespan, it is an excellent choice. The product has a long lifespan, and the paint is usually good for at least 20 years.

Cement Tiles
Cement, clay or terra cotta tiles are another option. The products are one of the most durable materials on the market. Even though there is an initial high expense, the true cost is offset by the lifespan of cement tiles. The product is made from clay or cement and can easily last for 100 years. Clay tiles also require little in the way of routine care.

Dayton roof replacement is a task that most area homeowners will have to consider at one time or another. Choosing the right material is one of the most essential factors of any job, and several products offer their own unique benefits. For an affordable roof, asphalt shingles are usually the product of choice. The material comes in a range of different quality levels and colors. Usually, shingles are backed with a minimum 20-year warranty. Metal panels are another common residential roofing material that offer several benefits. The product has an incredibly long lifespan, and this compensates for the high initial cost. Clay tiles are another choice material and can easily last a century or more.
