High-End Roofing: Qualities You Get with High-End Materials

Beyond Shelter

A roof offers more than just shelter. But owners can often overlook this vital part of homes, merely thinking it only protects those inside.

However, there’s much more to it, and high-end roofing materials give each home unique qualities that make them different from others.

Here are some of the noteworthy gains high-end roofing provides that is much more than shelter.

Purposeful Weather Protection

Let’s be clear: protection from the weather is essential.

While all parts of a building provide protection to the home, the roof takes the brunt of the elements—whether it be rain, wind, snow, and sun.

But high-end roofing tends to not only endure these elements but thrive under it—needing less repairs, maintenance, and cleaning than other roof materials.

Increased Property Value

Protect isn’t the only thing that roofing provides. A roof also provides value, something all property owners want, especially homeowners looking to sell in the future.

While a new roof can significantly increase the value of their property, new high end roofing materials tend to be more durable and last for decades upon decades.

Unfortunately, average homeowners with asphalt shingles cannot say the same thing.

Lower Insurance Rates

Insurance companies use multiple factors to determine insurance rates for homes. One of those factors is your roof, which includes the roof’s age, shape, and material.

Although most companies do not cover a roof that is 20 years or older, you can lower insurance rates anywhere from 5 to 20 percent by choosing a newer, high end roofing material—one that is more durable such as the composite roofing from Brava.

Personality

Believe it or not, your roofing is a reflection of your personality—or business identity.

Everything from the chosen material to the selected color can say something about your personality or, in the case of businesses, brand identity.

High-end roofing—perhaps those that are also sustainable and eco-friendly—can tell others your beliefs and feelings about the environment through the materials for your home.

Not to mention, the color choices you use can help others identify with your own personal styles and preferences.

Ensure Compliance

Every home and commercial building is subject to local building codes. These codes vary from state to state and county to county but cover the same points: safety, durability, and energy efficiency. In many areas of California, this means a Class A fire-resistant "cool roof."

For Florida, it means a Miami-Dade County-certified roof. Choosing the right material will ensure homeowners and commercial property owners comply with roof building codes and have the necessary protection.

Sustainability

Roofs also offer a great way to increase the sustainability of a property. For example, homeowners and property owners can increase their property's energy efficiency by choosing a “cool roof” solution.

This will minimize the need for air conditioning and lower energy consumption by saving on cooling costs.

Sustainability also means using renewable or recycled roofing materials, which high-end roofing materials are often made out of. These materials help lessen their environmental impact.

Increased Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is an important aspect of any property, and using high-end roofing materials is a great way to make a good first impression.

You can choose from various attractive styles, colors, and designs that can improve your curb appeal and make your home’s exterior more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing.

Long-term Investment

Finally, roofing should be a long term investment. You never want your roof materials to be crafted out of cheap materials that have to be replaced.

However, you can significantly increase your roof's lifespan by investing in higher-end, premium materials—one with higher quality systems that are more energy efficient and offer better insulation.

Property owners can also see an increased property value by choosing higher-quality materials.
