There is a lot depending on what types of roofing products you choose for your Flower Mound roof. Whether you want to turn a small building into a commercial building, spruce up your house, or just opt for a new roof that will withstand the test of time, you have to consider how much money you might spend on your roof, both in the long run and when it comes to upfront costs.
Asphalt and metal roofing are two of the most affordable and overall resilient types of roofing you can consider. These materials are used both for residential and commercial roofing, and they can be installed quite easily, without an exaggerated upfront cost. Although metal roofing is more durable and low-maintenance, asphalt shingle roofs make up for their slightly more fragile nature by being less expensive and easier to fix.
Both asphalt and metal are recyclable materials, and you won’t have to repair them too often. The problem is asphalt shingles (along with other asphalt roofs) tend to suffer greater damage after the first 10-15 years of use, even if they’re properly maintained. In contrast, a good metal roof will last for over half a century and will require less work and fewer repairs down the line.
A local Greystone Roofing Flower Mound company will likely recommend metal roofing. However, if you’re on a budget, asphalt shingles are a great alternative, and will protect your building or home quite effectively against storms, fire and strong winds, even if just for 15-20 years or so.
