RESIDENTIAL ROOFING SOLUTIONS


Roofing is obviously one of the most essential parts of any construction project after all that is why we create a home in the first place, to have roofs over our head. Roofing covers the uppermost part of the building, providing us protection from the rain, storms, dust, harmful sun rays and what not. If you are one of those who are investing in building a new house for yourself or getting rid of the old, tarnished roof of yours, you require good roofing solutions. This blog can provide you with some basic information on roofing solutions which might be able to help you on getting started.


Of course your concept and style is significant on deciding the type of roofing to go for, some of the popular roofing styles include flat roofs, gabled roofs, hipped roofs and salt boxes. Your roof must reflect your choice, style, and the kind of look you want whether it be renaissance, Victorian or outright contemporary.
Shingles or Asphalt shingles are used for homes which are durable, long-lasting and water repellent, providing good resistance against wind and hail; they enhance the curb appeal of your home. Tile roofing is commonly used in valleys; it provides good long-lasting protection, allows for natural ventilation due to its shape which keeps the temperature inside cool, it also provides excellent drainage during monsoon.


Foam roofs are a very good option for roofing especially when there are penetrations in the roof for AC vents, jack and skylight. This type of roofing solution is very reliable, strong and durable, the maintenance require some re-coating in a period of 5-10 years. Flat form roofing does not have much of a slope and is used in many contemporary designs and for modern plush looks; it requires some maintenance ass the debris has no place to run off.
