Installing a Slate Roof

29 October 2007

Slate Roofing Installation
Adding a slate roof to your home will not only give your house a distinctive and beautiful look, it will also be providing you with a very durable roofing option.

Maintenance Free
Slate is a natural stone that requires little to no maintenance and won't need any sealers or chemicals to constantly treat it. Slate even has an excellent fire rating as it is stone and will not allow fire to catch on or spread on its surface. It can resist mold or fungal growth. If there is any breakage, the tiles or sections can be easily replaced. And it's available in a variety of colors, textures, and thicknesses.

A Green Roofing Option?
It's even the perfect option for those looking for a more green or sustainable material for their new roof. If you add an asphalt shingle or wood shake shingle roof to your home, you'll more than likely be replacing that roof in 15 years to, at most, 50 years. A slate roof can last more than 100 years. And, if and when you or descendants, should have to replace it - the slate can be recycled.

Find a Slate Roof Installer
Slate might be the right option for your home if you need to install a new roof or replace your existing roof. Talk to a slate roofing contractor to decide if it's the right product for your home. If you need to find a slate roofing company near you - submit your request with ConstructionDeal.com. It's a fast and easy to find a slate roofing professional. At no cost.

Roofing Materials: Consider a Metal Roof

22 April 2007

Ready for a Metal Roof? We can help:

Many picture the loud sounds of rain splashing hard on a tin roof when they think of having a metal roof installed.

But today metal roofs are beautiful, durable, and even affordable roofing replacement option.

But it will provide your home with excellent protection from weather and it can come with 40 or 50 year (or even longer) warranties because it's so durable.

If you're not sure if a metal roof is right for your house, contact one of our metal roofing installers to get some information and maybe even an estimate. Simple post your request on ConstructionDeal.com and you'll be contacted by as many metal roof contractors as you would like. All for free!

How Long Should a Roof Last?

03 November 2006

Need a New Roof? We Can Help:

If you're wondering about the life expectancy of your current roof, or even how long your new roof will last, once it is installed, you'll need to consider several factors:
  • The Geographic Location & Climate of your House
  • The Quality of Materials of your Roof
  • The Style of Roof
Climate
If you live in a particularly warm and/or moist climate, you roofing material may not last as long as predicted. Heat and sun exposure can reduce the life of most asphalt shingle roofs - - and about 75% of all American homes use this material. In fact, they say that the only roofing material that gets the full life from the listing are houses in Alaska.

Climate and harsh weather do a number on roofs -- the sun and heat, as previously mentioned, are a major factor. So, too, are rain, snow, hail, sleet, and wind. Many parts of the country have more excessive weather and larger changes from season to season. All can affect how long your roof will protect your home.

Quality
There are inexpensive asphalt shingles that can be put on your home and very expensive tiles. You can have a cheap tin roof or a stylized and sturdy metal roof. But, in the world of roofing, what you spend affects what you get -- spend more for higher quality products and you'll need to have your roof replaced or repaired much less often.

It's also going to depend on the thickness and quality of insulation and backing paper that is used during installation. You can get a cheap roofing job done, but you're going to end up with a cheap roofing job as well.

Fiberglass shingles, for example, are stronger than organic shingles. They're more flexible to withstand weather changes. They are more expensive, too. Making sure that your roof installation includes the proper venting and flashing -- which can increase the budget -- will affect your overall results.

Metal and some tile roofs (especially concrete tiles) can last an extremely long time. You'll spend more for installation, but it's probably something you'll never have to worry about again.

Style
The pitch of your roof can be a factor. You can have a flat roof or an highly sloped roof (like on an A-frame house.) Homes in the Southwest may have a flatter roof because there's not as much need to ensure water and snow runoff. A flatter roof has a harder time getting rid of the damaging affects of moisture.

Most asphalt shingles can last from 12 to 30 years. Wood shake roofs from 10 to 30 years. Metal roofing can last from 50 to 100 years. Tile roofing is probably in that same range.

If you need to find a local roofing company to repair or replace your roof, contact ConstructionDeal.com to save time and money. Our network of is ready to come out to your house to give you a proper estimate.

Post your request, at no cost, and choose how many companies you'd like to contact you -- it's that easy.

How To Find a Roofing Contractor

30 October 2006

It's very important to make a plan for your roofing project. If it's time to replace or repair your roof, you'll want to make sure you have the right specialist for the project.



Using these tips can ensure your roofing job goes off without any problems or complications:
  • First, find a local roofing contractor on ConstructionDeal.com. It's a fast and easy way to get multiple bids from roofing contractors in your area. At no cost.

  • When you get calls from roofing companies, make sure they come out to your home to view the job before giving you a quote. There's no real way for them to give you a decent estimate without reviewing the structure and underlying materials on your roof. Get a bid, in writing, from at least 3 roofing contractors.
  • Ask for and contact all the references provided by the roofing company. These references will let you know how well the company performed their duties and what to expect on your project. Keep in mind these references are all happy customers provided by the roofer. But it's important to validate that they are, indeed, happy clients and do really exist. And it's important to gather details and information they provide to get a feel for how well things will go for you.

  • Make sure you are getting a warranty from the roofing materials manufacturer and also the roofing contractor.

  • Talk with the contractor about the best materials to use for your application, your climate, and your house style. "You get what you paid for" usually applies to roofing materials. If you skimp on your roofing materials, you may need to have additional repairs and even a replacement sooner than the higher quality roofing products available today.

  • Get a complete, detailed breakdown in your estimate so that you'll see how much money is being allocated for products, materials, and labor. Compare each estimate with the other to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck.

  • Installing or repairing a roof can be dangerous. Make sure your roofing contractor and any subcontractors are insured with both liability and worker's comp insurance.

  • If your state requires it, make sure your roofing specialist has a license to perform the work on your home. It's the best way to make sure you're dealing with a professional from the beginning.
Keep in mind that problems do arise on any construction or remodeling project - the roofing company may discover problems that were not visible before work began. But by following these roofing tips, everything should work out and you'll have a roof that will last you many years.

Submit your project - at no cost - on ConstructionDeal.com. Talk with a roof contractor about your needs.

Good luck with your roofing job!
