If your roof is more than 15 years old and is showing signs of wear and tear, you may want to consider having a new roof installed on your home. Most roofs are designed to last between 15 and 30 years, depending on the climate where your home is located and the amount of maintenance that was provided for the roofing material. In addition, some roofing material, like metal and aluminum, will last much longer than that. In fact, metal and aluminum roofing can last at least 50 years when it is properly maintained.
Before you decide on a new roof for your home, you should have Roofers in Columbia MO come out to your home and explain the options that are available to you. It is important that you take several things into consideration before selecting a roofing material for your home. Some of the things you should consider include, budget and the climate where your home is located.
BUDGET
Your budget should be one of your first determining factors. When determining your budget, you will need to include the amount of money you plan on spending on your roof, plus the amount of money you can expect to spend each year on repairs and maintenance of your roof. You may find that while some roofing material is less expensive to install, it will be more expensive once you consider the cost of maintenance and the actual life of the material.
CLIMATE
If you live in an area that is prone to high winds, heavy rains or snowfall, or is in an area that is susceptible to wildfires, you may want to consider a roofing material that can withstand those natural forces. While all roofing materials can withstand normal levels of rain, wind and snow, some roofing materials are more durable and can withstand greater forces. For instance, metal and aluminum roofing can withstand winds up to 140 miles per hour without sustaining damage.
