Roof Repair or Replacement
In many cases it can be difficult to know whether it would be better to pay for repairs or go ahead and invest in a full roof replacement. And on top of that, a lot of the time our customers don't know when or if they can start an insurance claim to support these payments. That's where Golden Construction comes in to help.
​
We are happy to consult you with your insurance claim needs, but first we will ensure a thorough inspection to document exactly what damage or problems you have with your roof. Our inspection will include but is not limited to assessing; shingles, caulking, flashing, seals, underlayment, gutters, chimneys, skylights, vents, and more. We offer residential, commercial, townhouses, and farm roof repairs in Minnesota.
Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Roof Shingles
Let’s review the top factors to consider when choosing the best asphalt shingles for your home.
-
Cost: The cost of shingles will vary depending on the materials. Asphalt shingles are popular because of their affordability compared to more expensive roofing materials like metal, clay, and slate. If you choose slate for your roof, you can expect to pay at least five times as much as asphalt per square foot. It’s best to have a set budget before looking around to know which roofing materials are on the table for you, then select a roofing material that offers the best value for your budget.
-
Durability: To get the best value for your money, choose roofing shingles that are highly rated in terms of durability. Certain roofing options will work better in specific climates. For instance, clay and ceramic tiles perform better than asphalt in hot climates. Consult a roofer to get the best fit for your home.
-
Aesthetics: Modern roofing materials come in various colors, textures, and finishes. Select the roofing shingle that matches your preferences and your home’s architectural style.
-
Maintenance Requirements: When choosing the best roof shingles for your home, consider the upkeep and maintenance effort required for each material before making a decision.
