Getting The Right Raleigh Roofing Contractor

By Harriet Porter


One of the many things you can depend on, in North Carolina, is the weather. It can be rainy and wet or it can be windy, rainy and wet. It can also bake you and your roof and cause all kinds of damage. Repairs to your roofing system are not always do it yourself projects. Professionals will have to be contacted when installing a new roof and there are plenty to chose in the area. Getting the right Raleigh roofing contractor will help keep you with a solid and dry roof.

There are many different types of roofs that may have to be looked at if you are installing a new one. The roofers you can access will have a few suggestions as to which ones will be the best for your house. If a repair is being contemplated, the company who installed it in the first place may be called in to take care of this. Regardless of which is to be undertaken, ask appropriate questions of the roofing company called.

The most popular roof, primarily because it is the least expensive and easy to install, is the asphalt or composition shingle. This is a three tab shingle created from petroleum products and a colorful granulate embedded into it. It can be cut, nailed into place and can be formed around any of the many obstructions on every roof.

Many of the Raleigh NC roofing firms can also install a metal roof. These are a bit more expensive and must be mounted in the proper way. They can be just about any color and made to look like most other systems. They are becoming more and more popular even though they have been around for more than a century. Tin, copper, stainless steel and aluminum are a few of the materials used and, if not installed properly, can make a lot of racket when the winds pick up.

A roof that is installed on many of the historic buildings in the area is a tile one. These bring with them quite a bit of weight. Inspecting the structure is an important first step here as not every house can handle this without reinforcing the sub structure. These tiles can be purchased as flat surfaces, just like slate, or in any number of curves such as half round ones.

A wooden roof is one of beauty and charm. This type has a tendency to make your home look like a cabin. It is also one of the only ones that is very subject to molds. This is especially true when it is shaded after rain or other weather elements have made it wet. Maintenance, such as cleaning and protection is necessary and can be done by yourself or the companies installing it.

An extremely heavy roof system is a slate one. These are cleaved from a naturally occurring stone that has to be attached in a specific way by the professionals who know this material. These are usually installed on higher end homes and make for a distinctive covering anywhere they are located.

Finding the right company to install or repair your roof takes a little work. You need to find one that knows the system you want installed. They will also be licensed and certified in that particular system and will be professionals while doing it.
