The spring is the perfect time for replacing the roof. If it is time for you to replace the roof on your Virginia home, and you want to increase curb appeal and set your home apart, consider cedar shakes or cedar shingles. Cedar shingles are the perfect way to increase the curb appeal of your home and increase your home's value. Increasing in popularity, the beauty of cedar shingles is unsurpassed by any other roofing material.

Not only a great investment, cedar shakes create a beautiful look to your home and SB Roofing in Virginia Beach can accommodate.  One of nature's best building products, cedar has a rich, textured grain that is just different than asphalt shingles.  

Believe it or not, cedar shingles are low maintenance with a natural ability to resist the elements, resist insects, and other forms of decay. Cedar shake shingles are able to provide a higher insulation value than any other roofing products keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

The right roofing material makes your home look great. With all the types of shingles and roofing materials on the market, consider cedar shake roofing. Contact SB Roofing for more information.

There may be some indications that you have some problems with your roof. Do you need a roof repair or a new roof? Obviously, roof repairs are less expensive.
 
Replacing your roof is more expensive, but depending on your circumstances it is often the better choice. However, sometimes there are long term costs when you opt for one or the other. There are some things you should consider when considering a new roof.

If your roof is fifteen years or older, a new roof is on its way anyway. Don’t want to waste money on repairs, just replace the roof. If severe weather causes the roof damage, the damage is probably extensive. If you opt for roof repairs, they may help for awhile, but do you need a new roof? We can confidently say that if moisture or mold is an issue, a new roof is the best choice.

A new roof is often the best option for serious roofing problems, however, roof repairs are a good option If the damage is limited, or  if you are moving in the next six to twelve months, a new roof is not worth the costs when a repair can keep your home in good shape for the time being.

If you are still not sure whether your roof needs to be replaced or repaired, contact SB Roofing.
