<div class='uawarticle'>As long as the roof of a home does not require maintenance, it will generally be ignored. Only when a problem arises will it get the attention of the homeowner. Homeowners should give their roofing more attention as it is probably the most expensive section of your home and could leave you homeless if not maintained. If you require new roofing, the various available types of <A href="http://www.berrymanroofing.com">roofing McAllen</A> contractors have on offer should suffice.<br />
<br />
You can get fiber cement roofing which is manufactured with a cement reinforced cardboard material that looks like fiber. It is molded in a similar way to resemble clay or slate tiles, or wood shakes. It can be used on any type of structure. The cement content in the tile makes it fire and moisture resistant. The amount of structure restrictions is limited due to the light weight of the covering. One disadvantage of this type of product is that it is prone to discoloration, delaminating, softening and cracking.<br />
<br />
Clay tiles can be found in various shapes, but the one most commonly used is a half-barrel shaped, red tile. These tiles are often found in a shingle type shape. The main advantages to this tile are its resistance to water, insects, rot and fire, along with being durable. The main disadvantage to the tile is that it is heavy and that means that you may require additional housing structure support. A genuine clay roof tile is normally quite expensive to install and requires a lot of labor.<br />
<br />
Concrete tiles are often manufactured in an attempt to mimic other roofing types. It can be used on any structure due to its versatility. Concrete tiles are resistant to water, insects, fire and fungus and is extremely versatile.<br />
<br />
Concrete is known to be very energy efficient and is suitable to be used in all climates. The tiles, similar to slate and clay, are very heavy and will need a building structure suitable to hold this added weight. The disadvantage linked to this type of tile is that it is prone to crack when the weather changes, due to thawing and freezing.<br />
<br />
Similar to fiber cement, engineered rubber or plastic is manufactured to resemble other roof coverings such as wood, slate or clay. It is suitable for use on most housing structures.<br />
<br />
The low cost of rubber or plastic makes this roof covering a suitable low maintenance, cheaper alternative to types such as wood and slate. It is considered to be environmentally friendly as it is most often manufactured from recycled tires. The main con to this covering is that it looks like a fabricated alternative.<br />
<br />
Homeowners have the option of a 'green roof', however the structure needs to have a flat roof and you must make use of a contractor who is experienced in this type of roofing. The wide selection of roof coverings makes it imperative that you consult a roofing professional when you have to make a decision about the type you want. It is vital that you choose a reputable contractor, with adequate experience to ensure that you get long lasting workmanship.<br />
