Roof Installation and Repairs in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Cities
The importance of a good roof cannot be overstated. A roof is all that stands between the interior of a home and snow, rain, hail, tree branches, and debris.
A high-quality, durable roof increases the energy efficiency of a home and adds to the property's overall value. In fact, when a property has a sturdy roof in excellent condition, insurance companies often offer homeowners discounted rates, making it a fantastic long-term investment.
Some of the sure signs that the roof should be replaced are buckling shingles, neglected roof valleys, chimney damage, gutters full of shingle granules, and a sagging roof. If daylight shines through the roof, that's an even more evident sign that the homeowner should reach out to their roofing contractor.

Tile Roofing

Clay tiles - durable and made to last. They're definitely low-maintenance, but they can be expensive.
Concrete tiles - eco-friendly as they can be reused and recycled. However, concrete is heavy and prone to moisture concerns.
Slate tiles - offer the Gothic-style look some homeowners are looking for. They typically increase the home’s value, but are pricey.
Metal tiles - a popular choice and can be made from steel, zinc, copper, or aluminum. Metal tiles are usually lighter and deliver superior energy efficiency.
