How to choose the right roofing for your property

Choosing the right roofing material is a crucial step in the decision-making process. The  things to take into account when choosing roofing material range from — from cost, to installation, the life-span and maintenance to your individual needs,  and also taking into account, the architectural style of your property. Add to this, which roofing material is the best return on investment.

Your roof takes a beating and the material that you choose should stand up for years to the worst the weather can offer.    Contrast and compare traditional materials with the more modern materials on offer, a new roof can also increase the resale value of your home.

Metal roofs – Fully recyclable, metal roofing materials come in lead, steel, aluminium and  copper
Slate – this can be more expensive than most other materials, slate is durable, has an incredibly long life-span depending on the quality of materials chosen (60 to 200 years) and enhances any structure.
Clay Tile – Clay tile is considered a lifetime roof;  clay tile is more expensive than some of the other roofing materials available but its beauty and natural appearance often outweigh the cost for homeowners looking for an attractive roofing material to enhance their property.
