Types of Roofing

When deciding on what type of roof Mike’s Construction LLC. should place on top of your house or business, it is very important as to consider what each roof type has to offer.

The following list will help you in the decision you have to make between EPDM flat roofing, asphalt shingles, or metal roof systems.
EPDM Flat roofing consists of ethylene propylene diene monomer, and is considered to be the most popular modern day roofing type for flat or low slope roofing systems.

1. This type of roofing has a service life of over 30 years given that the proper steps of installation and design are taken.
2. This type of roofing is common for businesses. Asphalt shingles are divided into two categories:
   1) Fiber glass and organic.
   2) The organic type has been known to be more durable, but fiber glass asphalt shingles are cheaper to buy and easier to manufacture.
3. This type of roofing is used primarily for homes. Metal roofing systems offer a huge benefit, in that they can reduce the energy consumption inside the home or business. They do this due to the certain colors that they come in. They also have a much longer life-span than both asphalt and EPDM roofing at 40-60 years with minimal maintenance. 
4. Metal roofing systems are used primarily for homes, but can also be used for businesses and industries.

 Trying to find the right roofing system for you can be a difficult process, but you educating yourself with the knowledge of several roofing types can be indispensable when the time comes to make a decision.
