Selecting the right type of roof for your home or commercial property in Henderson is a significant decision that affects not only the look of your building but also its energy efficiency, comfort, and durability. When deciding on roofing, think about both the short term and the long term. What's going to save you money now, and what's going to save you money over the life of the roof? What's going to require less maintenance? The roof of a house is intensely personal. You and your family will live under it, and you should choose a roof that is right for the way you live. In Taller's case, we worked with the clients to choose a highly durable material that reflects a lot of the sun's rays. They live in a metal house with a significant overhang; half of the house is under the shade of the roof.
To make an informed choice about roofing materials for your Henderson property, you need to understand the various options and what benefits they offer. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material found on homes in the U.S. and are well liked for their cost-effectiveness and installation ease. But if you want a roof that offers the very best efficiency in energy usage, an asphalt shingle roof might not be your best bet. Instead, consider durable clay or concrete roof tiles that can provide long-term performance, especially in our hot Henderson climate. While they may carry a higher price tag upfront, tile roofs will in all likelihood pay for themselves over time because of their energy-saving insulating properties. On top of that, roofs made from tiles achieve a coveted Spanish look Cassaday says many of his clients are after. If you're dreaming of a flat or low-slope roof, you might be considering one made from metal or standing seam roofing.
To ensure that the roof of your building, be it new construction or a renovation, is installed properly and will function as desired over its lifetime, you need to team up with a good roofing contractor. This is true anywhere, but it's especially important in Henderson, where the local climate and building codes have to be taken into account and where, consequently, local knowledge is invaluable. Your contractor should not only have the know-how to install your roof correctly but also the experience and expertise to recommend good materials — and the right architectural signs — to ensure that your roof complements your ventilation and insulation systems. It is equally crucial that the contractor you select provides guarantees or warranties for both their work and the materials used. This assurance allows homeowners to sleep soundly, knowing they are protected by a kind of insurance against the types of problems that can crop up after a roof has been on a house for a few years. Some warranties are pretty nifty; I once had a roofing company warranty that the mice would not come through the roof after the installation. Most warranties cover what happens if something really goes wrong; few warranties cover what happens if something at the very end of the roof (the eave, in this case) starts to unravel.
