Composition Shingle

Shingles are affordable and the easiest roofing material to install.

Shingles’ lifespan expectancy varies based on the type of material. On average Composition Shingles last 15-20 years, Asphalt Shingles last 15-30 years, and Wood Shingles last 20-25 years.

Homeowners are legally limited to two layers of roof shingles. Therefore, if you already have two layers of Shingle, you’ll need a complete tear-off. Signs that your roof has reached the end of its life are typically obvious: consistent leaks, shingle loss, and mold growth can all point to the need for a new roof. [Read More…]

Torch Down

Torch down roofing is so named because it requires an open-flame propane torch. In this installation method, sheets of modified bitumen are rolled out onto the roof, and a roofing professional uses a hand-held propane torch to heat the material and adhere it to the surface. Torch down rolls adhere to the roof and seams are joined. On average, Torch down last 15-20 years and represent a great value for most residential and commercial buildings with flat roofs.

Building owners are legally limited to two layers of roof Torch. Therefore, if you already have two layers you’ll need a complete tear-off.

You can protect torch down roofs by coating them to protect from ultraviolet rays, and you will need to reseal it every few years. Other than that, there’s not much that needs to be done to maintain the roof aside from clearing off debris regularly and patching any holes that have developed. [Read More…]

Slate & Tile

Perhaps the most important advantage of tile roofing is its lifespan. In general, a cared for and well-maintained tile roof can last up to 50 years. Tile roofs exceed all other types of roofing materials for longevity. Regular cleaning can double your tile roof’s lifespan. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, your tile roof will not last as long as it should. Most homeowners find it’s best to clean a tile roof within five years of its installation, and then every other year or every three years at most, after that.

Inspect your tile roof periodically, Tile roofs are extremely durable but still must be inspected occasionally. Replace damaged tiles immediately, Chipped, cracked or broken tiles should be removed as soon as they’re discovered. Broken tiles can compromise the roof’s ability to withstand exposure to rain and sun.[Read More…]

Cool Roof

Acrylic is a fast-drying liquid made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion and is water-soluble but becomes water-resistant when dry. Acrylic coatings are commonly used as white reflective color. Thanks to its durability and low-cost many facility managers believe this to be the best roof coating and it’s applied as a liquid restoration system. Acrylic coating systems last 10-20 years, however, once they reach the end of their warranty, they can be re-coated and a new warranty begins. The process can be repeated over and over again, making the Acrylic roof coating system a renewable and sustainable roofing system.

Silicone coating is the best roof coating that satisfies both quality and cost-effectiveness. Silicone is moisture cured and humidity can even promote its cure. Silicone weather is better than other coatings with almost no erosion and it does not get hard or brittle. A good Silicone coating could last up to 20 years with proper annual maintenance and inspection of the roof.[Read More…]

Sheet Metal

If you’re like most people who choose aluminum roofing for their homes and businesses, your primary reason for selecting it is that it requires only minimal maintenance. Unlike asphalt shingles that are ultimately brittle and wood shakes that split from age and improper conditioning, a metal roof is sturdy, reliable, and not easy to damage.
Under acceptable conditions, aluminum roofing will outlast just about every kind of roofing material on the market. Metal roofs can last 40-70 years, depending on the material.
