The Types of Roofing Products We Install

We offer a wide range of roofing products, including:

EPDM: Known as a “rubber roof,” EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane made up primarily of ethylene and propylene. It is available in both black and white and is one of the most durable roofing systems on the market, typically lasting for about 40 years.

PVC: Used for commercial or industrial roofs that are flat or low-sloped, PVC roofing is a single-ply roofing solution made of polyvinyl chloride. These roofs are well known for their minimal maintenance requirements and usually last more than 20 years.

Shingles: One of the most popular roofing materials for residential properties is asphalt shingles. This type of roofing system comes in a variety of styles and colors, has a relatively inexpensive up-front cost, and generally lasts about 20 years.

TPO: This single-ply roofing membrane is composed of thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), which is good for reflecting UV rays and heat from a building to save money on cooling costs. Instead of being a plastic, as its name suggests, this roofing product is actually a blend of rubber, and its average life expectancy is 25 to 30 years.

Coating: Applying a commercial coating to a roof can preserve its surface and extend its lifespan. The coating also makes the surface of a roof more reflective, thus helping to lower energy costs by reflecting the sun’s rays and decreasing the temperature of the roof. In addition, this product helps to cover over cracks and splits in the roof’s surface to protect from water leaks.

What is the Best Time of Year for Roof Installation?

It is important to install a roof when the weather is appropriate for the material of the roof. For most roof types, it is best to perform installation in late fall or early winter when the temperature is cool and there is not much chance of rain. This is because a cooler temperature prevents the adhesive from melting. In addition, there is less chance of rain during these months, which reduces the chances of water damage to the roof.

What are the Benefits of Installing a New Roof?

Installing a new roof offers several benefits that enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a home:

• Improved Energy Efficiency: New roofing materials often come with better insulation, reducing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, thus lowering energy bills.
• Enhanced Curb Appeal: A fresh roof can significantly enhance the appearance of a home, increasing its market value and making it more attractive to potential buyers.
• Increased Safety and Durability: New roofs provide better protection against leaks, mold, and structural damage, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of the property.

By investing in a new roof, homeowners can enjoy a more comfortable living environment while potentially increasing the value of their property. Plus, with modern roofing materials, maintenance becomes easier, requiring fewer repairs and replacements in the long run.
