Read these articles before making your roofing decision . . .
As far back as the 1700s, some of the nicest American homes were topped with metal roofs. Architects say the recent resurgence stems from high-end clients' desire for materials that are somehow more historically authentic than asphalt, yet are less apt to induce sticker shock than slate, tile or wood shakes.
So what do you know about re-roofing your home? Unless you’re a roofer, builder or architect you probably don’t know too much. Before we go too far, here’s an interesting tidbit that you need to know right up front: Of all of the complaints filed with the BBB and other reporting agencies for home improvement remodeling trades, one of the highest (if not THE highest) number of complaints are lodged against roofing contractors.
More home builders and renovators are saying no to asphalt-shingle roofs, heralding a revival of interest in slate, clay tile, wood shake and other historically popular materials that we considered both aesthetically pleasing and less harmful to the environment. But most of these options are impractical. Slate and clay tile are heavy and may require structural reinforcement. Wood isn’t durable and offers limited fire resistance.
