Kansas City Roofing Contractors Share Tips on Choosing the Right Shingle

Kansas City, MO - February 16, 2012 - MB Roofing, Inc. - Kansas City roofing contractors from local roofing company MB Roofing, Inc. share their tips on choosing the right shingles for local homes.

MO, KS (prHWY.com) February 19, 2012 - Expert contractors from MB Roofing, Inc., a local roofing company, share professional tips they use when recommending asphalt shingle styles to homeowners. According to these pro roofers, choosing a shingle is not merely a matter of color or style. There are many factors they consider before they recommend a shingle product to local homeowners. They share these factors below:

Length of Planned Residency
How long a homeowner plans to stay in the property to be re-roofed is a big factor to be considered. Expert roofing contractors would not advise a premium shingle for a homeowner who only plans to live in the current property for less than 20 years. The reason for this is that they would not get the most of their investment since premium architectural shingles last for 30 years or more.

Similarly, they would not advise homeowners who plan to stay in their current abode permanently to use basic three-tab shingles due to the short serviceable lifetime when compared to architectural shingles. The first rule is this: To make a roofing investment worth a homeowner's time, it must last for at least three-quarters of the planned residency or better.

Budget for the Project
While there are many ways for a homeowner to pay for a roofing job, it will still cost money whether they choose to pay now or later. As such, Kansas City roofing contractors also take care to know the homeowner's budget for the job before making recommendations. Whether a homeowner intends to use home insurance, credit card, or cash to pay for the job, professional contractors advise having a ballpark figure. This will determine how much a homeowner is willing to spend for the materials and the job itself.

According to contractors from MB Roofing, Inc., a contractor who truly has the homeowner's best interests at heart will recommend the best quality shingle the budget can afford, along with consideration to other factors.

Market and Resale Value
At some point, many local homeowners will consider moving out and selling their current property. Since a roof is a long-standing investment, expert contractors only recommend asphalt shingles that will contribute to the market and resale value of a home, years from now. According to MB Roofing, Inc. contractors, there are three things that they consider before any recommendation is made regarding resale value: the common neighborhood roofing material, the most preferred shingle color, and the style.

All in all, according to Kansas City roofing contractors, all they can give are recommendations. It is still the homeowner's choice and preference that matter when it comes to choosing roofing shingles. Just the same, MB Roofing hopes to have provided a guide that homeowners can benefit from. More information on these factors is given in MB Roofing's blog.
