Choosing the Right Roofing Shingle
Your roof does more than just keep the rain out — it protects your home from all kinds of weather and natural forces while giving you a definitive look. Matching your roof shingles to your house is the icing on the cake. It makes your house feel like a home. Choosing the right roof shingle can be easy, especially when you work with the professionals at Summit Roofing and Restoration.
Squares
The first step in choosing the right roofing shingle is to learn the lingo. Roofers take measurements in “squares,” which is a 100-square-foot area. A 40’x40’ home is approximately 16 sq (1600 sq ft), depending on the pitch of the roof and number of dormers and shingle layers etc.
Cost Considerations
Another key to choosing roof shingles for your home is knowing your budget. Skylights, chimneys and flashing can all increase cost and your estimator will advise what your home or business needs.
Materials and Warranties
Choosing the right roofing shingle means matching your materials and warranties to your location as well. Here in Northwest Indiana, we have to prepare for wet summers and winters, so your roof needs to withstand a variety of complex climates.
Your new roof needs to complement your home, and material choice can help. Technology has improved the composition and durability of all products on the market, allowing longer life and warranties.
Summit Roofing and Restoration has years of experience helping customers with these decisions, and we can bring that expertise to you today.
Matching Your Roof Shingle to Your House
One of the final aspects of choosing the right roofing shingle for your home is making it part of your overall aesthetic. Matching your roof shingles to your house’s décor, style and landscaping can create the perfect curb appeal. Match your personality and style with not only the right shingle type, but also the perfect color.
