What to consider before choosing a roofing material
Asphalt shingle and metal roofing are the main two residential materials that Champion Roofing recommend.
However, there are several things you should consider when choosing what type of roof to have installed. Firstly you need to ensure that you hire a professional roofing contractor that specializes in repair and installations alone and are not a jack-of-all-trades workman.
Whilst budget of course is key, it should not be the only factor to be taken into consideration. Other factors to be borne in mind are, total size, shape, colour, appearance, ease of installation, and local climate.
Another couple of aspects that you may wish to consider are how much maintenance your choice of roofing-material needs and its durability.
Our team of experts have experience working with both homeowners and property developers so have installed many different types of roofs. As a result, your installation will meet your critical criteria, and offer long-lasting protection against the local elements, whatever option you choose.
Roof material options
There are several roofing-material options to choose from. Champion Roofing are proud to stock and install the following.
Asphalt shingle
The most common roofing material in Canada. Asphalt roof shingle is highly durable, it will protect your home from the scorching Kootenay sunshine and the freezing winter blasts for years. Asphalt shingle roofing comes in many colours, so whatever colour your home, a complimentary match can be found. It looks neat, tidy, and uniform. Probably the most cost-effective roofing material on the market.
Metal
If you are looking for low-maintenance, metal roofing is the ideal choice. It is incredibly environmentally friendly as it can last for up to 50 years. Such have been the advances in technology over the past few years, metal options can now look like asphalt shingles, wood, or slate.
Above all else, your priority should be the quality of the roofing-material. It would help to know the benefits of each roofing-material option and understand which offers the best fit for your property. We will guide you through this and provide advice and recommendations to best suit your needs.
