Rolled Roofing, This style of roofing is not done on flat roofs. It is a roll of roofing material that is about 30 inches wide. You lay the first run down on the bottom of the roof. After you attach the first run, you apply the 2nd run on top of the 1st run and so on. The overlap should be 1/3 of the roll. You should never see the head of a nail when you are finished.

 Laminated 30 year roofing shingles are also a great way to go, they have a good rating against wind and if 5 nailed instead of 4 nails they are great roofing shingles.

 Cedar Shake roofing is a great look but a very demanding roof style. Cedar roofing needs to be maintained yearly and also is one of the most expensive roofs to install and repair.

Ceramic tile roofing is a long lasting roofing system, if the climate calls for it and if the structure is built to support the weight of the material.

Solar Roofing Tiles are pretty new and upcoming trend, Great for a area that has a lot of sun and no trees that will drop needles and leaves on the roof in the fall. These solar tiles cost more than typical solar panel and of course more then a regular roofing shingle.

Metal sheets covered in stone. These are a interlocking roofing system that can look like just about any type of roofing material. This style does well in wet areas and holds up against high winds.

Slat roofing, Last a long time, some say more then 80 years. It is fire proof, water proof and mold does not grow on it. a slat roof is good in wet environments but expensive and can be fragile.

There are also green roofs, These are roofs that have gardens placed on them... Do not do this! They will leak!

I have contacted a roofer, whats next?

The Tacoma roofer will give you a break down of the life left on your roof and give you a couple different options for repairing or doing a complete roof tear off and replacement. Yes it sounds bad, but this is what they do.

Some of the biggest complaints that roofing contractors receive are due to home owners not knowing what it takes to remove the old roof and install a new roof. 

When a roofing contractor says they are going to do a tear off, that means the old roofing needs to come off of the building. This is a very messy step to getting your new roof installed. A tear off is the removal of all the old roofing material and it usually ends up all around the outside of the house. The roofing contractor will put up plywood around the house to protect plants and the exterior of the house. Protecting windows and the siding is very important in this step. A good roofing company will try to keep the mess around the truck or trailer that they are loading the old material into. But it does still make a mess. If you are having the roof redone in the winter, your yard will get messed up also. This is why it is best to do a roof in the summer. One of the most complained about steps in roofing is this next portion of the process. The roofers may leave the mess from the tear off, so they can get the roof prepped for the new shingles. It is more important to get the house weather tight then worry about the mess that is on the ground. I'm sure you would rather see the mess in the yard over rain water dripping in the living room. After the house is weather tight the roofers will finish cleaning up the yard, it could be messy overnight so be patent. After the tear off is complete, the next step is to inspect the plywood sheeting. The sheeting is what the new roof shingles get nailed into. If the sheeting is bad with dry rot or at all spongy it may not hold the roofing nails during a wind storm. You do not want that. If the roofing company says you need some new sheeting, listen to them, a roof is a expensive project it would be bad to have it blow off.

What are the best choices for roofing materials in Tacoma?

One of the beat and most affordable roofing materials is the 30 year laminate architectural roofing shingle. followed by the Presidential type shingle, these are a heavy duty high wind rated shingle for roofs with a pitch of 5/12 or greater. These are a great roofing shingle for the Tacoma Area.

Metal loc-seam roofing is also a great roofing system For Tacoma. It can have a lifetime warranty on the product and can be in multiple colors. the only bad thing about metal roofing is it can be really loud in a rain storm...

Ceramic Tile roofing is a system that is not really for every home. It is best in a dryer climate and the home needs to be engineered to handle the weight of the roofing material. Ceramic Tile Roofing is very brittle.

Cedar Shake Roofing, Yes Cedar is a great looking roof, but it needs to be maintained often, like every 3 years at least. Some HOAs will make you replace your roof with cedar shake roofing or the Presidential roofing system. I would go with the Presidential roofing.

Flat Roof Material, TPO or PVC roofing material is the newest way to roof a flat roof structure. TPO style roofing material has taken the place of torch down roofing. But there is still a need for torch down and hot tar roofing companies.

Roofing Systems you should try to stay away from:

• 3 Tab Roofing Shingles, a 30 year laminate architectural shingle is about the same price.
• Re Roof - roofing over the top of an excising layer of roofing.
• Roll Roofing has it's place but not on a normal house.

• Hot Tar on a normal residential roof. Once you start you have to reseal every year.
