During most weather conditions, the roof of a home is reliable, but storms with high winds or other extreme conditions can cause damages that affect its stability. For instance, a cold front moving in with lots of moisture could result in freezing conditions and the buildup of ice on the roof. Ice can pose multiple problems because it can damage the shingles, but ice also expands as the water freezes and, when it builds up under asphalt shingles, it can create voids that allow more moisture to accumulate. Because ice damage can be very destructive, it usually requires a complete Residential Roofing Installation in Menasha.
Roof replacement tends to need a bit of planning because the property owner must consider which materials to use on the new roof. There are various options available including composite shingles, fiber cement tiles, clay tiles, cedar shake, simulated shakes, and metals such as copper and steel. Each of these options can create a reliable roof, but they all have pros and cons. For example, composite shingles provide the look most property owners are familiar and comfortable with, but quality shingles can be pricey, and budget versions do not provide the best roofing solutions. Experts with Residential Roofing Installation in Menasha recommend more durable materials such as laminated shingles or formed steel.
Laminates are composite products that placeadditional layers on the backs of shingles. This creates a durable roof covering that is both strong and reliable. Some homeowners prefer this type of shingle because its design differs from the typical three-tab model. Installation time is the same as other asphalt products, and most manufacturers offer a long warranty. Formed or stamped steel is another durable roofing solution because the panels are treated with either a zinc and aluminum alloy or coated with a PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) based paint. Stamped steel comes in a variety of styles and colors, which makes it the perfect option for the property owner looking for something different. Most manufacturers warrant this type of steel roofing for at least fifty years, and an experienced roofer can install it very quickly. Visit us website and learn more about roof installation.
