Roofing Tips from a Sacramento Roof Company

Family, Serving Sacramento Since 1888

Choosing your roofing material is as important as choosing which Sacramento roof company is going to install it for you. Here are some tips for choosing the right roofing material.

Durability

You want a roof that can withstand the elements. Ask your roofer to use materials that can take on high heat and humidity. These two deal the most damage on any kind of roofing, weakening the roof support structure and the roofing materials itself.

There are plenty of roofing materials on the market that provide weather protection. However, make sure that the material your roofer is going to use is suited for Sacramento weather. Some manufacturers produce roofing materials to suit the needs of a particular region.

In addition, do make sure that the roofing materials your contractors use on your roof are appropriately rated to hold up against high winds. Ask your contractor for the ASTM rating of the roofing materials they are planning to use. The majority of roofing products are rated to withstand wind speeds of up to 110 to 130 mph.

Energy Efficiency

Your roof greatly affects your energy consumption. By using energy efficient roofing materials, you can potentially lower your cooling costs by as much as 25%. That’s hundreds of dollars worth of energy savings in a year. Moreover, by using roofing materials that have the Energy Star seal, you also become eligible for a tax credit of 10% on your roofing costs.

It’s best to stick to recognized industry names when choosing roofing brands. Major roofing manufacturers provide better warranties and generally produce better products. It’s also advisable to go with one brand. This way, you can be sure the materials are compatible.

“I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!”

Laura Powell

“Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.”

Ryan Calderwood

“Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!”

Caroline H

“I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.”
