Roofing Services
Asphalt Shingle
Asphalt shingles have been the most popular roofing material for the last 100 years. Invented in America in 1903, asphalt shingles are highly protective against the elements and come with a coating of mica, talc, or sand to help them addhear to each other.
Asphalt shingles are popular with home owners because of their versatility, durability, and affordability. They come in a wide range of colors, and they are able to withstand the blazing Minnesota summer temperatures and artic like Minnesota winters.
The realistic lifespan of modern asphalt shingles is 20 years or so, despite most brands toting a 35 year plus warranty. However, with proper maintenance, they can last up to 30 or 40 years. The drawbacks of asphalt shingles include poor resistance to foot traffic and their vulnerability to damage in high wind areas or winter ice dams. This is certainly an important consideration in the Twin Cities area, as severe and sudden storms accompanied by wind are not so uncommon.
Metal
The higher cost of metal roofing may discourage some property owners, but the long-term benefits of this option should be considered. Firstly, the cost-effectiveness of metal roofs should be taken into account. While asphalt shingle roofs typically last between 12 to 20 years, a metal roof can last up to 40 to 70 years. Why settle for a shorter lifespan when you can enjoy twice the longevity?
Secondly, residential metal roofs are highly resistant to corrosion, fire, and insects, making them a safer option. With a metal roof, you won’t have to worry about infestations or your roof catching on fire. Additionally, water sheds off a metal roof quickly and easily, reducing the risk of water damage to your home.
Finally, metal roofs offer superior energy efficiency by reflecting solar radiant heat. This can help keep your home cooler and reduce your cooling costs by up to 25%. While the initial cost may be higher, the long-term benefits of metal roofing make it a worthwhile investment.
Cedar Shakes
Wood shakes are actually one of the most environmentally friendly roofs available to homeowners today. Despite being made from trees, most wood shakes are manufactured in an environmentally responsible manner. This is especially true if you choose to use refurbished or recycled wood for your roof upgrade.
Wood shake roofs have very few harmful byproducts to collect in rainwater runoffs that travel through the soil and collect in the groundwater. The lifespan of wood roofs is an astounding 50 years with proper maintenance. While on the more expensive side to install, they are long-lasting and have a stunningly rustic character and a beautiful finish.
There certainly are many different roofing styles to grab your attention, as well as a variety of features to consider. We at Raplor Construction are always excited to help our clients find a roof they can be proud of and enjoy for many years to come.
