Roofing Material
While there are several factors that you should consider when thinking about whether you need a new roof, determining and analyzing the type of roofing material you have is important. This is because different types of roofing material have specific characteristics. For example, cedar roofs get mossy when placed in moist climates. Additionally, they are subject to splitting and will eventually fall apart when placed in dry climates. If you have a cedar roof, you can expect it to last for about 20 years. Roofs with tiles are subject to breaking when walked on. Despite this great susceptibility to breakage, the tile roof as an entire structure can last for 100 years, despite the fact that the individual tiles will possibly break. If you purchase a concrete roof, it shouldn’t need replacement, and this factor makes concrete roofs a great investment.
