How to Prioritize Roof Care
Your roof isn't just a shelter—it’s your home's first line of defense against the elements. Whether you're installing a new roof or maintaining an existing one, understanding roofing basics is essential.
The Best Roofing Materials for Your Home
- Asphalt Shingles: Affordable and versatile, perfect for most homes.
- Metal Roofing: Durable and energy-efficient, ideal for harsh weather.
- Clay Tiles: Beautiful and long-lasting, but higher in cost.
- Wood Shingles: Natural charm with higher maintenance needs.
Pro Tip: Metal roofing is gaining popularity for its durability in extreme Midwest weather.
How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
Several factors influence roofing costs, including materials and labor. Here's a general breakdown:
- Asphalt shingles: $5,000 - $10,000
- Expect to pay $10,000 to $25,000 for metal roofing.
- Clay tile roofing can cost between $15,000 and $50,000.
Always consult a trusted roofing contractor for accurate estimates.
How to Maintain Your Roof
Regular maintenance helps your roof withstand wear and tear. Follow these steps to keep your roof in great shape:
- Check your roof for any signs of damage after major weather events.
- Clean gutters regularly to avoid leaks.
- Address damaged shingles as soon as possible to prevent further issues.
- Have professionals inspect your roof every year for hidden problems.
Preventive care is far cheaper than emergency fixes.
