If your roof is damaged or leaking and is less than 15 years old, a roof repair can be more practical than full replacement. Common repairs include replacement of shingles and/or fascia boards, patching leaks, and fixing improperly installed flashing.

During new roof installation, your home gets a new underlayment and shingles over the roof decking. You can choose between 3-tab and architectural shingles, which can be made of asphalt, wood, composite, metal, or another material. New roofs last 20-30 years for less expensive materials, while slate, copper, or tile can last 50 years or longer.

The shingles on your home are both protective and decorative. These overlapping pieces of asphalt, wood, clay, slate, metal, or composite materials create a waterproof barrier that protects your home from the elements. They are available in multiple colors and include 3-tab, architecural, or luxury varieties. Asphalt shingles are the most common and budget-friendly, while clay, wooden, or composite shingles can add character and style to your home.

Tile roofing is attractive, durable, and environmentally friendly. Tiles are made from slate, clay, or concrete, and are an excellent choice for buildings in hot areas or those exposed to salt air near the ocean. However, tile is a more expensive roof material and is also very heavy.

Membrane roofing is easy to install and cost effective. It's used for flat or low-sloping roofs, which are largely on commercial buildings. There are three types, EPDM, TPO, and PVC, which are different types of material used to create the membrane. Maintenance includes regular cleaning, inspection for damage, and prompt repairs of any issues.
