Blog

When you plan on remodeling your home, sometimes additions and renovations change the design of your home. It may be due to improvements, adding to the roof structure or covered porches and spaces. When your remodeling project affects the roof, you will want to consider options for new roofing, using different materials, and integrating new roof structures into the existing roof. The following roofing and remodeling guide will help you decide the best solutions for the roofing needs of your renovation projects:

Additions That Affect The Existing Roof and Options For The Roofing Materials On The New Roof

Sometimes, when you do a roof addition for your home, it can affect the existing roof. This can be a problem and you will need to consider a couple of options. First, if the existing roofing materials are new, you may not want to completely replace them. Therefore, you will want to consider solutions that blend the new and old roofing together. This can be done by replacing the old roof shingles and weaving the new and old materials together to make the addition less noticeable.

Adding Roof Structure Features and Architectural Details That Are Roofed With Contrasting Materials

Sometimes, the roof of your home may be too plain, and you want to add extra details. If your roof has a plain design, improvements to the design can include, dormer windows, cupolas, or other details. There are also options for things like covered porches and all-seasons rooms. These features can have contrasting roofing materials like metal, which will contrast against the asphalt shingles on your roof to bring out the design of your home.

Considering A Roof Replacement and Asphalt Shingle Alternatives When Doing Major Renovations

When you are doing major renovations to your home, you will want to consider replacing the asphalt shingles. The roof replacement may be part of the renovations that need to be done, and you may want to consider using alternative materials, such as composites, metal, or wood roofing materials to replace the conventional asphalt shingles.

Correcting Problems With Water Traps, Wear and Bad Roof Designs When Renovating Your Home

There could be a lot of problems with water traps, wear, and damage to the roof of your home that needs to be repaired. These problems can be an issue due to bad roof design. The renovations you do to your home will give you an opportunity to deal with these issues and improve the design of your roof to ensure the new roofing materials last longer.

These are some things that will help you choose the best solutions for the roofing needs of your projects. If you are ready to have a new roof installed on your remodeling project, contact a roofing contractor, and talk to them about some of these solutions for your renovations.
