SHINGLES

All roofs need substantial coverings and that's where the use of shingles come in. Shingles overlap each other normally from the bottom edge of the roof upwards. There are numerous types of shingles, which vary in price depending on the look/material you would like them to be composed of.

Some examples of different types of shingles include:

Asphalt 3 Tab
Asphalt Architectural
Asphalt Fiberglass 3D
Metal Shingles

TILES

When it comes to getting roofs developed, there are many options as to how to go about it. If you don't think asphalt type shingles are what you are looking for, then you may want to look into a tile type roof.

Take a look at the pros and cons of going the tile route.

Pros: Cons:

- Durable - May crack if walked on.

- Long-lasting - Prone to moss growth.

- Low maintenance - Difficult to install.

- Environmentally friendly - Expensive.

- Versatility

GUTTERS

There are many variations of gutters one could choose to customize their home with, but needs vary from person to person. We've went ahead and listed some of the most commonly asked for gutter styles as well as the pros and cons to them. When it comes to gutters, the main distinction is figuring out if a seamless gutter is better than a sectional gutter.

Sectional (seamed) gutters are usually comprised of sections measuring up to 10ft, and are attached to your home's fascia board through the use of hangers.

Pros:

Cost efficient.
Widely available.
Easy to install.

Cons:

Few colors and styles to choose from.
Susceptible to leaks.
Must be sealed regularly to remain effective.

Seamless gutters are made out of one long metal piece as opposed to having attachable parts like sectional gutters. These are most often chosen for the wide variety in colors, long lasting durability, and for having a smooth appearance. These type of installments usually are not manageable for a DIY project, and more than likely require professional assistance.

Pros:

Sleek appearance.
Fully customizable to suit your home.

Cons:

Costs more than sectional.
More challenging to replace and/or repair.
