Why Your Roof Deserves Extra Attention

Your roof plays a critical role in protecting your home and family. Whether you're installing a new roof or maintaining an existing one, understanding roofing basics is essential.

The Best Roofing Materials for Your Home

  • Asphalt Shingles: Affordable and versatile, perfect for most homes.
  • Metal Roofing: An excellent choice for longevity and sustainability.
  • Clay Tiles: Beautiful and long-lasting, but higher in cost.
  • Wood Shingles: Natural charm with higher maintenance needs.

Pro Tip: Midwest homeowners increasingly opt for metal roofing due to its resilience.

Breaking Down Roofing Costs

The cost of roofing varies based on the material, labor, and size of your home. Here's a quick breakdown:

  • Typical cost for asphalt shingles ranges from $5,000 to $10,000.
  • Metal roofing: $10,000 - $25,000
  • Clay tiles: $15,000 - $50,000

Always consult a trusted roofing contractor for accurate estimates.

How to Maintain Your Roof

Regular maintenance helps your roof withstand wear and tear. Follow these steps to keep your roof in great shape:

  • Inspect your roof after storms for damage.
  • Keep gutters clear to prevent water buildup.
  • Replace broken shingles promptly.
  • Schedule annual inspections with experts.

Preventive care is far cheaper than emergency fixes.
