Other considerations before planning the project:
- Alert your community or association about the noise
- Plan for the disposal of debris
- Choose a trusted and experienced contractor
- Shop around for the best quality materials
- Plan for maintenance
A professional roofing company can help you organize and plan the whole project, taking all factors into account. A good plan also includes a budget that is beneficial for you. The type of roofing material you choose will highly affect your cost for the short and long term. For example, synthetic roof tiles cost more upfront than traditional materials. However, in the long term, they are cheaper to maintain.
If you choose a wooden shake roof, you will need to plan for a high amount of maintenance including shingle replacement. On the other hand, composite shake roofs have the same appearance but do not require any upkeep at all. Further, composite materials are stronger against harsh elements such as wind, hail, fire, and other extreme events. This means that they will demand less time and money to maintain.
The overall costs of your roof replacement will also depend on your home’s square footage and the contractor you choose. At Jimmy's Roofing, we understand the challenge of successfully coordinating a residential roof replacement. We do a thorough assessment of your property to provide the best solutions that work with your preferences and budget.
We recommend that you invest in a high-quality material that will perform better in the long term. Some homeowners may choose asphalt shingles to save money but don’t realize that they quickly fade over time. Other people may prefer clay tiles without realizing that they break easily, although they look nice. Our roofing company likes to educate our customers on all types of materials so that they can create a long-term plan for their roof and budget.
