“I am seeing some missing shingles and water damage on the roof. I think it's time I replace my roof.”

Roof Buying Guide for Fresno, California

If you’re anticipating a new roof, there’s a lot of information available that can help make the decision process simpler. For example, Fresno’s climate makes it a prime candidate for cool roofing which helps keep homes cooler in hot climates. Fresno gets about 271 sunny days each year with summer temperatures near 100 degrees. In the winter, lows are in the 30s. Rainfall is minimal at 11 inches compared to the U.S. average of 37 inches. All of these weather conditions factor into new roof installation.

Type of Roofing Materials Available

Asphalt shingles, while the least expensive roofing material, is one of the most popular. You’ll have a wide range of colors to choose from and the shingles are suitable for nearly any architectural styles. Shingles are easily installed and can last from 15 – 30 years, but the material is not recyclable.

Clay and Concrete Roofing Tiles cost more because, due to the materials’ weight, a roofing frame must be installed. The benefits of this material include availability in many colors, durability, non-combustibility, and the material reflects a significant portion of solar rays. This type of material is generally seen on homes with a Mediterranean design.

Fiber cement tiles do not contain just cement, they also have a blend of clay and wood fibers so they do not carry the extra weight standard concrete tiles are known for. With fiber cement tiles, it is more versatile and can be installed on just about any roof design. The tiles can last from 20 – 30 years and are recyclable, fireproof and extremely durable.

Metal roofs are a popular choice for several reasons. The durable covering made of either aluminum, copper, or stainless steel is recyclable, making this an environmentally friendly product. This light-weight, weather resistant covering is durable, with a life span of 50 years. Metal roofs are excellent at providing cool interiors due to the its ability to reflect solar rays. You’ll find metal roofs on many roof designs such as contemporary or ranch homes.

Reflective roofing is an environmentally friendly product available through Energy Star. Also known as cool roofing, it reflects solar rays which maintains a comfort level in your home as well as an energy efficient environment.

Slate roofing is another popular choice due to its ability to deflect solar rays and why it’s recommended for regions that experience high temperatures. Slate also helps make homes green, as the material is recyclable. The material is easy to repair. It is expensive, but your new roof can last anywhere from 50 – 100 years.

Wood shingles and shakes have a unique look all their own. Made of redwood, cedar, pine, plus other wood sources, they add a bungalow-style look to the home. Wood shingles and shakes can last for 15 – 20 years. Before purchasing, find out if this material is approved by the City of Fresno by checking with a representative from the building code department as the fire rating for this material generally is Class C. Class A materials, which are fire-resistant but more expensive, may be acceptable.
