Wood Shingle Roofs
As installers of wood shingles, we know they instantly add natural beauty to your home. A popular option for historic homes, this roof type provides superior insulation over many other materials, leading to improved energy efficiency and lower energy costs. The main drawbacks of wood shingles are a lack of fire resistance, less durability, and a higher upfront installation cost.
Slate Shingle Roofs
While many local roofing contractors may not offer slate shingles due to their complexity, we can install them at Chase Remodeling. These shingles are made with genuine slate and are often found on historic homes or high-end new construction properties. Slate shingle roofs can be expensive for most homeowners, but they can last up to 75 years when correctly installed and maintained.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Chase Remodeling proudly installs asphalt shingles and asphalt composite shingles in Maryland and the DC metro area. The affordability, ease of installation, and longevity (a typical lifespan of at least 25 years) make asphalt shingles a sound investment for many homes, including older and newer ones.
The few drawbacks of this roof type are a lack of energy efficiency and visual appeal compared to its counterparts.
Metal Roofs
Consider metal roofing installation from Chase Remodeling if you have a flat roof and want to showcase your home’s unique architecture.
Whether you choose steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc, you’ll have a lightweight, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly roof that can go directly over your current roof and last 50 years or more. Just know that metal roofs aren’t an option for curved roofs and cost more than other roof types, like asphalt shingles.
Rolled Roofing
Do you have a low-slope roof and need an easy, budget-friendly roof type? Chase Remodeling has you covered with rolled roofing installation. Rolled roofing is less expensive to install, low-maintenance, and durable. However, it might not be as attractive as other roofing options.
How To Choose the Best Roof for Your Home
Here are several factors to consider when choosing the best roof type for your home:
- Climate: In a variable climate, your roof needs to withstand everything from heat and snow to wind and hail. That’s why many homeowners in the DC metro area are upgrading to metal and slate roofs.
- Appearance: The last thing you want is for your roof to clash with your home’s design. An experienced roofer can help you choose an attractive roofing material that also protects your home.
- Durability: Ask yourself if you’d rather pay for potentially multiple roof replacements or just one. While it may not be sensible to invest in a slate or metal roof if you think you’ll move in a few years, it’s worth exploring if you think you’re in your forever home and plan to be there for decades.
- Cost: It’s critical that the roof type fits your budget. At Chase Remodeling, we strive to keep our residential roofing services affordable with flexible financing.
