Premium Material Specialties

Questions about premium materials
Are premium roofs worth the extra cost?
It depends on how long you plan to stay and what matters to you. Metal and slate cost more upfront but can outlast two or three asphalt roofs, which lowers the cost over the life of the home.
Can my house support a slate or tile roof?
Natural slate and clay tile are heavy. The roof structure needs to be checked first, and some homes need reinforcement. Synthetic slate and shake are much lighter and are a common alternative.
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
Installed over a solid deck with underlayment, a metal roof is generally no louder inside the home than other roofing.
