When it comes time to replace the roof on your house, you’ll be faced with having to choose the type of roofing materials to use. Walter St Clair Roofing has been helping property owners in Cincinnati, OH, install, replace, and repair their roofs for almost 100 years. One of their experienced roofing experts will be happy to discuss your budget and needs to help you make a great decision.

When choosing the best roofing materials for your project, a lot will need to be taken into consideration, including the following:

• Installation Requirements: Not all types of roofing materials can be used on all roofs. Asphalt shingles are the most common type used on roofs in America, but wood, metal, tile, slate, and cement shingles are also available. One of Walter St Clair Roofing’s workers will inspect your current roof to determine the type of shingle currently installed and see which type is most compatible.
• Life Expectancy: Not all types of shingles last the same amount of time. For example, asphalt and wood shingles both tend to last approximately 25 years, but slate shingles can last between 50 to 200 years. A roofing contractor from Walter St Clair Roofing will discuss the durability of each suitable shingle for your roof so you can make an informed decision.
• Finances: There’s no getting around budget restraints, so how much you can afford to spend on a new roof should be a top consideration. Asphalt shingles are the most common because of their affordability, but metal is also one of the most inexpensive options. With competitive prices, Walter St Clair Roofing will consider your finances when making a recommendation.

Ultimately, the biggest factor when selecting a new type of shingle for your roof will be the existing roof. With almost a century’s worth of experience, Walter St Clair Roofing will guide you toward the best decision.
