The Ultimate Guide To New Roofing Installation
2
Any home builder who is in the market for a new
roofing installation needs to explore as many
options as possible. A few years ago the choices
were so limited homeowners didnt have as many
options in terms of style, budget, and materials.
Some of the most important factors for roofing
installation include  
3
Budget Your budget will determine a great deal
about the choices you are going to have on your
roofing and it will also determine the materials
you will have access to. For example, the cost of
shingle roofing installation will cost almost
half of what you are likely to spend on metal
roofing installation if you consider the same
size of a roof in square feet.

Longevity This depends on how long you plan to
live in your house. Depending on your answer, you
may want to consider investing in something that
could easily outlive you and, in this case, metal
roofing installation may provide a better answer.
While your conventional asphalt shingles roofing
installation will last just about 20 years, the
metal roof can last between 50 and 100 years
depending on the materials.  
5
Design If you are also interested in adding curb
appeal and high value to your home, you must also
give careful consideration. There is no doubt
that any new roofing installation will increase
the curb appeal and value to a home. However,
there are types of roofing materials such as
metal roofing installation that increase the
value by a greater percentage. On the other hand,
concrete roofs and metal roofs provide homeowners
with the highest number of design options.

Roofing contractor Once you have chosen the
roofing material that you believe will address
your needs best, you must ensure also that you
choose the most reputable Austin roofing
companies. You want to ensure that you are
dealing with a company that is licensed, insured
and highly experienced in doing roofing tasks.
7
Take time to ask around from your friends,
family, and neighbors and especially those who
may have done some roofing project in the recent
past. If they dealt with a company that did a
nice job, you can be sure that they will be more
than willing to forward their contacts to you.
Ask the company to give you a few references from
their past customers so you can contact them and
know their true feelings about the roofing
companies.

Asphalt shingle installation along with tar and
gravel roofing installation appears to be the
common type of roof in the United States. You
will get several color options and choices
available. The only downside is that they require
a lot of maintenance and they easily experience
leaks in just about a decade. All other types of
roofing materials have their pros and cons and,
as such, you must do good research before making
your choice.
