Flat Roofs

As the name suggests, a flat roof is a roof that is perfectly horizontal. It is extremely difficult to say for certain how long your home’s flat roof will last but on average it can be anywhere from twenty-five to thirty years. However, with the adequate level of maintenance, upgrades and repairs, this yearly total can be extended by up to ten years. If your home has a metal roof or is made of another durable material then this total could be extended significantly. 

  • 1. Tar and Rubber Roofs: An extremely popular choice for commercial properties, the expansion of tar and rubber roofs to residential buildings has been a feature of architecture design for the past 20 years. The relatively moderate climate of Coon Rapids and surrounding areas makes these roofs a very reliable choice for those who are looking for longevity and value for money. 
  • 2. Asphalt Shingles: If you are a homeowner who is looking for a cost-effective roofing option then asphalt shingles could be the perfect choice for your home. On average, asphalt shingle roofs are easy and inexpensive to repair and can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years.
  • 3. Wood Shingles: The simple fact of the matter is that if you are looking for a flat roof that will stand the test of time then you shouldn’t look beyond wood shingles. While they certainly require more maintenance and repair work than other roofing types, the fact of the matter is that should last anywhere from 30 to 50 years.
  • 4. Metal Roofs: If longevity is your number one consideration then there is no doubt that metal roofs are the perfect choice for you. As well as being the most durable option for your home, they are also one of the eco-friendliest roofing choices. On top of that, metal roofs also require less maintenance than other roofing types. They also reduce heating and cooling costs depending on the time of year.

Green Roofs

While there is no doubt that green roofs can provide real and lasting benefits for your home and surrounding community, the reality is that a sustained and consistent approach to green roofing can also guarantee advantages to the wider environment. Five of the most apparent environmental benefits of green roofing include:

  • By preventing combined sewerage overflow, green roofs can greatly improve the integrity of the environment both locally and at a more macro-level.
  • Green roofing also significantly reduces the impact of carbon monoxide on the environment.
  • Green roofs can successfully remove nitrogen pollution from rain.
  • Green roofing can contribute to the neutralization of the negative effects of acid rain.
  • Finally, a green roofing system can provide a safe and secure habitat for a range of wildlife that are native to the area.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

When designing or building a new home, there is so much to consider that it is understandable that the type of roofing material you install may not be top of this list. However, the reality is that this question is extremely important and needs the utmost attention.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

In essence, modified bitumen membranes are the product of oxidized asphalt particles that are then modified to a large degree with a polymer such as styrene-butadiene-styrene or atactic polypropylene. These unique chemical characteristics give this membrane a variety of intense self-healing qualities that allow it to provide a water-resistant roof that simply will not be beaten for strength, durability and cost efficiency.

  • Durability: Let’s face it, a new roof isn’t cheap. So, if you are going to go to the effort of installing a new roof then you better make sure that it is going to last. While shingle roofs are susceptible to the damage caused by wind and storm-damage, the fact of the matter is that torch-on roofing doesn’t have this problem. So, with our expert installation and annual maintenance as standard you can rest assured that your home’s roof will be in the safest hands possible. A well-maintained torch-on roof should last anywhere from 25 to 30 years.
  • Reliability: As the name suggests, torch-on roofing uses a blowtorch to fuse together sheets of modified bitumen membrane. By doing so, it creates a highly effective single unified roofing system that can protect your Andover home from all that mother nature can throw at it. On top of that, all gaps and cracks are sealed during the installation process. This means that your roof is completely waterproof at all times.
  • Cost Efficiency: While there is no doubt that torch-on roofing is slightly more expensive than other more traditional roofing types, the reality is that it requires a lot less maintenance in the long run. Bear in mind that a well-maintained torch-on roof can last anywhere up to 25 years and it is clear to see that the large outlay at the start could end up being a very worthwhile investment.

Tile Roofing

At Lockwood Construction LLC, we offer a wide range of tile styles that can add immediate and lasting value to your home’s roof quickly and effectively. Five of our most popular tile styles include:

  • Spanish Tiles
    If you are looking for a durable yet elegant tile then our Spanish tile might be the perfect choice for you. Spanish tiles look like rows on waves with wide water courses between the tiles. In general, Spanish tiles are located in warmer locations, like Spain, where rain may be unusual but when it does arrive, it’s heavy. Heavy downpours can make light of lesser materials that can be saturated damaged. The best materials for Spanish tiles include clay, terracotta and concrete varieties.
  • Scandia
    In many ways Scandia tiles are Spanish tiles but simply turned upside down. However, unlike Spanish tiles, this type of tile has the visual effect of sharp ridges with wide, smooth water courses. On average, the cost of a Scandia tile will be approximately the same as our Spanish tiled option.
  • Double Roman
    At first glance, a Double Roman tile may look like a Spanish tile but the reality of the situation is that, while looking similar to the waves on Spanish tiles, the Roman version has distinct ribs that are extremely pronounced. Double Roman tiles are extremely popular in the Mediterranean area as their unique shape and dimension fits narrow roofs perfectly. In general, these types of tiles are made from concrete but can also be made from clay and terracotta.

Slate Roofing

When it comes to value for money and long-lasting durability, very few roofing materials offer as many wide-ranging benefits as slate. The simple fact of the matter is that slate has an elegant and stylish feel to it, but on top of that, it is also a really durable and long-lasting material that, if maintained correctly, could last over one hundred years for your home.

  • Long Lifespan: As a homogenous metamorphic rock, slate is extremely durable and long-lasting. This roofing material is millions of years old and, if maintained correctly, could last upwards of hundreds of years. In fact, it is safe to say that if you take care of your slate roof then it should last you anywhere from 75 to 100 years.
  • Wide Range of Style and Color Options: One of the biggest benefits of slate is that it provides your home with a wide range of mixed colors and patterns styles that can enhance the look of home of all shapes and sizes. Not only does slate offer a wide variety of slate options, it also gives your home with many different textures that can range from very smooth to rustically rough and ready. While, as for color, the greys, blacks and vibrant colors are some of the most common options to choose from and can add immediate and long-lasting curb appeal to your Coon Rapids home.
