What you need to know

If you’re building a new home or you’ve decided it’s time to re-roof your home, there are some basics you’ll want to consider when designing your new roof. You’ll want to know how to accurately calculate your costs, how to understand your roofer, and what your options are for your new roof. Check out these handy tips on what you should know about building your new residential roof.

Terminology – “Squares”

If you’re considering a new roof, it’s helpful to know some basic roofing terminology First and foremost, roofers will talk about “squares.” Now, if you’re used to general home building terminology, you might incorrectly assume that they’re referencing a square foot.

SQUARES – A roofing square is a 10-foot-by-10-foot square, containing a total area of 100 square feet. This is helpful to know when you’re determining the cost of your new roof. Most bundles of composition shingles are made to cover 1/3 of a square.

So, say you have a 1,500 square foot roof. Your roof is therefore 15 squares and will take about 45 bundles of composite shingles to roof your house. Once you know what a square is, you’ll be able to calculate the cost of your roof with more accuracy.

Roofing Cost

Now that you understand how exactly your residential roof is measured, you’ll want to be aware of any extras that will increase your roofing costs. The cost of materials is the base price point, but you will have to take into account the cost of labor to install your roof, the shape of your roof, and if you’re re-roofing or if this will be your home’s first roof.

Additional cost considerations include:

  • More intricate styles of roofs than a simple gable roof
  • Add-ons like skylights and chimneys
  • When re-roofing, stripping the existing roof before installing the new one will add to your roofing costs significantly.

For more information on your projected cost, check out our blog on breaking down the cost of your roof.

Roofing Materials

The majority of roofs installed in the U.S. are either asphalt or metal for a variety of reasons:

  • Both tend to be the least expensive over their lifespan
  • They are the most durable options for residential roofing
  • Both have long lifetimes
  • They require very little maintenance
  • They well suited to the harsh West Michigan climate

For more information on the pros and cons of both options, check out our informational pages on asphalt roofing and metal roofing.

Roof Shapes

There are many different shapes of roofs to choose from, from gambrel to gable. When you’re building a new roof and choosing the style, it’s a good idea to take the area you live into consideration.

CONSIDER WHERE YOU LIVE – If you experience a lot of inclement weather, high winds, & harsh temperatures, some roofing styles are better for your home than others. It’s a good idea to talk to your roofer to ensure the shape of roof you have chosen is practical for the climate you live in.

Additionally, some roof shapes can be more expensive than others, so you’ll want to talk to your contractor to see what shape is right for your budget as well. For more information on different types of roofs, check out our blog post about the 7 basic roof shapes.

WERNER CARES INITIATIVE

The Werner Cares Initiative was born from a desire to give back to our community and support the healthcare heroes helping us through. Learn more about the ways Werner Cares for our neighbors.

STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFS

 

Standing seam metal roofs are composed of panels of metal that run from the top of the roof all the way to the gutter of your home. These panels are attached together with fasteners that are then concealed by seams that are raised about 1 to 2 inches above the level of the panels. These raised seams are what gives the roof its name and what keep water and precipitation from leaking through the fastener areas. The interlocking seams make your roof more resistant to all types of weather and promote thermal movement without damaging your roof.

 

At Werner Roofing, we exclusively use metal materials from Sheffield Metals. Sheffield guarantees the highest standard in durability and sustainability, which is why we trust them as our only metal supplier. Sheffield Metals feature a unique COOLR® technology finish that reflects solar energy before it turns into heat. This technology means that your home will stay cool in the summer, without any additional energy from your air conditioner, a typical problem with other metal roofs that do not use COOLR®.

I can’t say enough about the amazing service I received. It was perfect in every way. From the prompt appointment to get an estimate to the completion of the job I have nothing but high praise. The crew was courteous and friendly but still focused. The clean up was excellent, going so far as to sweep out my garage. I would not hesitate to use them again. The roof looks perfect! They get my highest recommendation!
