Making the Right Choice for Your Roof Types

We understand that choosing roof types can be overwhelming. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled key factors to consider:

• Cost: While asphalt shingles offer the most budget-friendly option, investing in a premium system like Brava or metal can provide significant long-term value through increased lifespan and reduced maintenance.
• Aesthetics: Consider your home’s architectural style and your personal preferences. Brava complements traditional homes beautifully, while metal roofs are a striking choice for modern designs.
• Maintenance: Each roofing type has different maintenance requirements. Brava and metal roofs require minimal upkeep, while asphalt shingles may need more frequent attention.
• Longevity: Asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years, while Brava and metal roofs can last 50 years or more, offering a longer-lasting investment.
• Neighborhood: Think about how your new roof will blend with the surrounding homes. While a metal roof can make a bold statement, it might not be the best fit for a neighborhood with predominantly traditional roof types.

Beyond the Basics of Roof Types

At Orca Roofing & Exteriors, we go beyond simply providing information. We want to help you make a decision that aligns with your lifestyle and priorities. Here are some additional factors to consider when thinking of roof types:

• Curb Appeal: A new roof can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal and potentially increase its value.
• HOA Requirements: If you live in a community with a Homeowners Association, check for any restrictions on roofing materials or styles.
• Common Mistakes: Don’t be fooled by marketing claims. While some asphalt shingles come with 50-year warranties, their realistic lifespan is typically shorter.

Trends and Technology in Roof Types

With the growing popularity of energy efficient roof types such as solar energy, metal roofs are becoming increasingly sought-after due to their seamless integration with solar panels. If you’re considering solar power in the future, a metal roof may be the perfect foundation for an energy efficient roof.
