Choosing a roof for your home or business isn’t as simple as it sounds. There are endless factors that go into picking out a roof that you probably haven’t considered — aside from style and budget. Let’s go over a few of the main factors you’ll want to keep in mind when picking out roofing material.
Slope: The slope of a roof is its vertical rise in inches over its horizontal run. In some cases, the slope of the roof will dictate the type of roofing. North Carolina Building Code and manufacturers require a minimum slope of 2:12 for asphalt shingles. If your roof’s slope is below 2:12, you’ll need a metal or flat roof system.
Location: Buildings and homes in high wind zones that exist in the coastal and mountainous parts of our state might be better suited for metal. Another thing to consider is the location of trees on your property. If your home or business has a significant tree canopy, your roof will need to be made of a material that can withstand fallen tree branches.
Energy Efficiency: If energy efficiency is your goal, we have options that help avoid wasted energy. Metal and white membrane roofs keep attics and buildings cooler than most shingle roofs. Metal roofing reflects heat while shingle roofing absorbs it. Metal roofing is useful if you live in a hot climate or an area with hot summers like those in Raleigh and Durham.
