Establish Your Criteria
What you want to accomplish with your new roof depends a great deal upon how long you plan to stay in your home, or whether yours is a “legacy home” to be passed lovingly on to future generations. In setting your Criteria, give some thought to the following things:
Immediate Cost vs. Long Term Durability
Does it make sense to invest more now and avoid future roof maintenance and replacement costs?
Enhanced Curb Appeal and Home Value
Would a “little extra” really help boost your home’s aesthetic appeal and value to potential buyers?
Energy Efficiency
Are monthly energy savings important to you?
Difficult Roofing Needs That Must Be Solved
Some roofs have “problem areas” that really require special attention and materials. Does yours?
Environmental Impact
Do things like recycled content, sustainability, and avoiding landfill disposal tug at your heartstrings?
