Roofing Materials in Melissa, TX
You have more than asphalt to choose from, and what fits depends on the roof you already have. Melissa Roofing Co leaves the pick to you, and the estimate costs you nothing.
Picking a covering starts under the shingles
A metal roof went up two doors down, and now you're wondering whether asphalt is the only thing your own house can take.
A Melissa roof can take more than one. What narrows the materials list fastest is the deck under the shingles: how it's framed, how steep it runs, and what it's already carrying. And when that deck is sound and only one slope has gone bad, you get both figures, the repair and the full replacement, and you decide which one is worth doing.
What each covering asks of your deck and pitch
These are the coverings that go on houses around here, from asphalt shingle to standing seam to the membrane a flat porch section needs. Each asks something different of the deck under it, the pitch it sits on, and what you want to spend.
Architectural asphalt shingle
The layered shingle most houses in town are wearing right now.
Impact-rated asphalt shingle
Reinforced against hail bruising, and it looks like any other shingle from the street.
Standing-seam metal
Long panels with the fasteners hidden, so there are no exposed screws to back out.
Exposed-fastener metal panel
The screw-down panel you see on shops and barns around the county.
Low-slope membrane
For the flat porch or addition section, where pitch cannot shed the water for you.
* Warranty and insurance terms vary with the product and the carrier and are put in writing before any work. What the manufacturer warrants depends on the system installed.
How the three compare once they're on a roof
Put the three side by side on one roof and the differences that matter come down to a short list. Roofing cost is one of them, and how each one takes hail damage is another.
Service-life numbers here are national figures for the material itself, taken from trade-body and industry research. Ventilation, pitch, and install quality move all three.
