Overview
Residential roofing charlotte comes in many styles, colors, and materials.
Your Charlotte and Concord roofing contractors can work with you to install,
repair, or replace your roof to suit your design goals, budget, and timeline,
as well as offer many other exterior home improvements.
Roofing Types
Asphalt and metal are the most popular options for residential
roofing. Metal roofing lasts 40 to 60 years, and is made with copper, 0.032
aluminum, and 24-gauge steel. It comes in different styles, also known as panel
profiles, including standing seam and 5v crimp. By contrast, asphalt shingles
are less expensive, and relatively easy to install. They last from 20 years to
a lifetime, and come in various shapes and textures, including 3-tab or
signature cut. Architectural asphalt shingles are laminated to give a more
contoured and varied look, lessening the appearance of repetition across your
roof. Laminated shingles are also heavier and more durable. Fiberglass asphalt
shingles are made with a base layer of glass fiber-reinforced mat, over which
asphalt is laid, making them more waterproof and more fire resistant.
Additional roofing types besides metal and asphalt include clay, wood, tile,
slate, concrete, and synthetic. Slate is durable, naturally nonabsorbent, and
dense.
Installation
Installing, repairing, or replacing a roof typically takes one
day to complete. However, depending on the size, pitch, and facets of your
roof, it can take up to three days to complete.
Additional Home Improvements
Your local experts offer numerous home improvements beyond
roofing, including siding, porch ceilings, gutters, and boxing systems. Siding
can be made with wood, vinyl, and fiber-cement. Many people find wood siding to
be the most aesthetically pleasing choice, but it needs to be re-treated every
4 to 6 years. Vinyl siding is the most cost-effective, and is also
low-maintenance and durable. Lastly, fiber-cement siding is resistant to rot,
impact, and termites, so it is best for exterior corners, doors, columns, and
windows. Porch ceilings are a great way to enhance your outdoor space, and,
like siding, can be installed in wood, vinyl, or fiber-cement. Gutters divert
rainwater away from your home, which helps protect your boxing, windows, and
foundation from water-related damage. They come in copper or aluminum, as well
as many other colors. Finally, boxing systems can be made using frieze, soffit,
or fascia.
