Choosing a shingle roof contractor is an important step in the process of repairing or replacing your roof. There are several factors you should consider, including shingle material and warranty, as well as color. A shingle roof contractor should be familiar with the different types of shingles to help you decide which material is best for your home.
How to choose a shingle roof company
You have many options to choose from when hiring a shingle roof contractor. Consider a different color combination to your existing roof. Energy efficiency is another option. The sun's UV rays can help keep your home cool in the summer, while darker colors absorb heat.
Your home's climate and texture will determine the color of your shingle. Some contractors might recommend a particular brand over another. A darker roof will reflect heat more efficiently in hot climates than one with a lighter color.
Selecting a shingle material
There are many factors you need to take into consideration when selecting a roof shingle material. The first is the color of your shingles. It should match the exterior of your home as well as the surrounding environment. It is also important that you consider the warranty for the roofing material.
The roof's shingle should be complementary to the siding. Certain colors work well with wood-colored houses such as browns, blacks, and gray-green. Pay attention to the colors of your neighbors as well as their landscaping.
How to choose a manufacturer’s warranty
While most shingle roof contractors offer a manufacturer's warranty on their work, this warranty will not cover all the costs associated with roof repairs. Some warranties are prorated. This means that you will need to pay for repairs as and when they happen. Prorated warranties will not cover labor costs but only materials that are defective.
GAF and Owens Corning offer warranties with their shingles. These warranties are very similar. However, it is important to select a contractor who is certified by the manufacturer. Warranty issued by companies other than the manufacturer will not apply. Also, it is important to select a contractor who offers workmanship warranties.
Picking a Color
There are many important things to remember when choosing a color for your shingle roof. You must first ensure the shingle matches your home's architectural style. The second is to choose a color that highlights the unique features of your home. Look at Google images or real estate listings to get some ideas. To get a feel of the existing color schemes, you can drive around your community.
The color of the shingle will also depend on the region you live in. For instance, a blue shingle roof may not go well in the sultry Florida sun, while coral colored shingles would look out of place in the colder New England climate. It is also important to consider the colour of the sun, as it changes throughout the day.
