When you need a new roof on your home or even just a repair to your existing roof, you want to be sure than the company you call has plenty of experience with different kinds of roofs in both residential and commercial roofing projects. This would include up to date skills and knowledge on flat roofing, pitched roofing, and any other type of roof you may have.
Northwest Roof Service Inc. has been in business for more than 26 years at the same location. They can complete any project in complete accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications as well as the building code regulations. The company specializes in commercial torchdown roofing, metal roofing, composition roofing, TPO roofing, and gutters. Torchdown roofing is typically used on flat roofs or nearly-flat roofs, and it is sometimes called rubberized asphalt. The asphalt is melted using a torch and spread on the roof to make an impermeable surface that is a good way to prevent moisture build up. The average lifespan of a torchdown roof is 15 to 20 years. Tar and gravel are traditionally used on flat roofs, but you get better results using torchdown roofing. View the site for more details.
Metal roofing has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the past few years. Metal roofs are often chosen for their fire-resistant qualities. The roofs are also resistant to insects, mildew, and rot. Most roofing companies say they will back metal roofs for up to 50 years. Metal roofs are also relatively lightweight. They may weigh between 50 and 150 pounds per square which is enough to cover an area of 100 square feet. Tile roofs weigh 750 pounds per square and concrete tile weigh 900 pounds per square. The lightweight also helps a roofer install the roof quickly.
Composition roofing is made from a variety of materials that include asphalt, fiber-cement, tar paper, waste paper, and reclaimed materials. This makes the roof an environmentally sound choice that is also sustainable. Composition roofing makes good economic sense because of its durability. A composite roof may last from 30 to 50 years. Metal can be made to resemble traditional shake roofs without blistering, peeling, or warping like regular shakes.
