What is Residential Roofing and How Does It Work? Here's the information you need

Residential roofing is roofing services that are applied to homes. If you are a homeowner and want to repair or install a roof or have a new roof put on, a residential roofing company is the best choice. Arry’s Roofing has put together a list to help you get to grips with residential roofing.

 

Commercial Roofing vs. Residential Roofing

Residential roofing is for homes. Commercial roofing is for buildings that are used in retail or trade. Commercial roofing can be used in shopping malls or public buildings. In addition to their respective functions, there are also other differences.

 

• Design

 

Commercial constructions (such as shopping plazas) are often larger than residential residences in terms of area. Commercial roofs must be designed to withstand increased weight and size. Residential roofs are typically pitched with a steeper slope.

 

• Materials

 

Weather-resistant materials are required for roofing systems on residential and commercial buildings. You have the following options for long-lasting roofing:

 

• Asphalt shingles made from metal

• Solar shingles made with wood

• Commercial roofing, unlike residential roofing, requires ventilation and air conditioning to be considered when choosing the right roofing material.

 

• Roof shingles from slate

Slate could be the perfect choice for you if your goal is to have a luxurious roof on a large property. Benefits include a natural look, fire resistance, resistance to rot, ease of maintenance, 100-year projected lifespan. Slate is available in various colors and styles.

Slate tiles are heavy and expensive, as well as being difficult to install. Slate tiles can be easily broken when stepped on. This makes roof cleaning and maintenance difficult.

 

• Cedar shingles, wood shakes

Cedar shake roofs have many benefits. They can withstand any climate. But, since they are UV resistant, they are especially well-suited for sunny and hot environments. They are suitable for people living in extreme weather such as hurricanes or severe thunderstorms.

 

• Low-maintenance, wood-shaking shingles make a great roofing choice.

This is especially true for wood shakes that are made from repurposed timber or harvested in a sustainable way. Wood shakes have been recommended for their environmental benefits. They are low-impact on water quality, last for 30 years, and can be recycled in a sustainable manner. This makes them a great investment in environmental responsibility.

 

• Maintenance

 

Because they are smaller, residential roofing systems can be easier to maintain than commercial roofing. Because there are fewer of them, it makes them easier to inspect for damage from storms.

Types Of Residential Roofing

Each residential construction is different. This makes it important to learn about the various residential roofing options, their features, and which one would be best for you.

 

• Shingle

 

Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material. They are very easy to install and are also the most affordable. These shingles also last a long time, on average lasting 15 to 20years. They come in a wide range of colors and designs.

 

• Metal

 

Florida homeowners are well-served by metal roofing systems, particularly if they live in an area that is susceptible to hurricanes like South Florida. Metal roofing systems need to pass wind and uplift tests that simulate winds of 150 miles per hour. Metal roofs are fireproof, and you may be eligible for lower homeowner's coverage costs by installing one.

 

• Tile

 

Tile roofs are long-lasting and popular. When properly installed, tile roofs can withstand rain, hail, and winds. They can be used to save money on electricity by reducing heat loss through the air that circulates beneath them. They can come in various colors, just as shingles.
