The importance of a quality shingle roof system is evident in the fact that there have been more than 50 million shingles installed since 1940. Most professional contractors will offer a variety of shingle options, including cathedral and valley style roofs, skylights and metal roofs.
The most important aspect of choosing a contractor for a new shingle roof installation is to do your research. Look at the references of all the contractors you are contacting and make sure that they are licensed and properly insured. You should also ask about their past work history before hiring them on their qualifications as an expert installer.
Roofs can collect rainwater which can cause costly damage to your home if not handled correctly. For this reason, roof tiles and shingles are sometimes fitted with roof downspouts that direct rainwater to the gutter. Downspouts also prevent water from pooling on the roof which reduces rot and staining. Some downspouts have a flue to exhaust excess water and help prevent damage.
Roof vent covers are also available for roofs that have been installed with metal framing; these can reduce condensation if temperatures rise or problems arise with your chimney/fireplace flue or any other type of venting. You may need to ask your contractor about specific details when it comes to downspouts or vents but this should be included in their quote.
