Can I Change my Roof Style?

Question: I currently have a tile roof. I need to re-roof but do I have to go back with tile? 

A: Well, that’s a good question. I think the first step is to determine if you are very very comfortable or not so comfortable with your roof appearance as it stands now. We are all, at times, tempted to kind of redecorate. It’s crucial to remember, however, that it is sometimes hard to visualize the end result of that new decoration. Having said that, many people indeed do change the roof type. It’s interesting, but it usually only comes to mind while one is in the re-roofing “shopping stage.” You should keep in mind also, the community standards, HOA, CCR’s, etc. which will definitely govern what kind of change you can make to the exterior of your home.

As we tell everybody, on every job, roof replacement is definitely major construction. Once that construction is completed, it is not possible to change it. 

So, probably the best thing to do is to ask us for some addresses showing the materials that you’re interested in. We’re happy to provide those and they will allow you to drive by and check out the materials yourself. Bottom line, as in everything else in life, the changing of the roofing type or style should be taken very seriously. Raneri and Long, your roofing professional, will be happy to provide guidance. 

Remember, once it’s done, it can’t be undone!
