Different parts of Florida display very different weather conditions, but across the entire state, you can experience extreme heat, heavy rains, thunderstorms, and sometimes even hurricanes. These are important factors to consider when deciding on a roofing material.
In addition, sometimes a place has certain home styles that homeowners want to keep in mind for their home’s aesthetic. Your roofing material and type will play a significant part in this. Cape Coral, just like the rest of the country, has a variety of home types, some reminiscent of Colonial architecture, others a more modern take on traditional homes. Below we share some of the materials best suited to Cape Coral home styles.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingle roofing has grown in popularity because of its ability to resist and protect against all kinds of extreme weather conditions. Asphalt’s waterproofing capabilities are unmatched and in addition, it is also great at reflecting solar heat. What’s more, asphalt shingles come at a fraction of the cost of more premium options, though you will likely need to replace them in about 20 years or so. Regular professional maintenance is key to avoiding this.
Clay or Concrete Tiles
If you want a roof that’ll last you a lifetime, then clay or concrete tile roofing are the way to go. Lasting in excess of 100 years, clay and concrete can only afford this long lifespan thanks to its durability, resistance to fire, extreme heat, wind and heavy rain, making it a great choice for Cape Coral style homes. The look and finish of a tiled roof really is the pinnacle, and it definitely is one of the more superior roofing options in terms of aesthetics. Of course, it does come with a hefty price tag but is well worth the upfront investment.
Metal
Another roofing material option that performs superbly is metal. It presents a great combination of benefits in that it is durable, strong, lightweight and relatively cost-effective. Homeowners love the fact that metal can be imagined in a variety of ways, with some able to mimic the look of more premium metal roofing materials. Its lightweight also means there is less strain on the home’s structure as opposed to the heavyweight of slate or clay for example.
