When installing a new roof, the biggest decision you’re going to face (aside from choosing a roofing pro) is which materials to use. If you’re replacing an existing roof, your decision is easy — just match the current materials. But, if you’re building a new home, the debate over roofing materials can get a bit more complicated. Before jumping into the pros and cons of each material, consider the size and layout of your roof.
Not surprisingly, the size of your roof will play a large role in determining your overall budget. If you’re using a roofer, it’s helpful to understand how your pro will measure your roof. While many contractors base their estimates on square footage, roofing pros go by squares (each square is 100 square feet). The more squares, the more your project will cost.
