Ensure quality roofing with TJR Construction

The type and quality of roofing varies depending on the purpose of the building. A residential and a

commercial building will have different kinds of roofing because their requirements are different.

However, the point of convergence is that both need to be of good quality that will sustain for long

and require minimum maintenance within the cover period. Experienced roofing experts like TJR

constructions of Pennsylvania say that you need a quality professional for a quality roofing. With an

experience of twenty years the company knows its roofs.

Toby Richard, the owner of TJR Constructions talks about the qualities to look for in a good roofing

company. These are insurance, permanence of residence and contact details, ability to provide

warranties for their job, proper permits and references.

It is vitally important that only the best parts are selected for the roof. As with everything else you

get what you pay for. Choosing the best quality shingle is vital. Shingles can be organic/asphalt,

cedar, fibreglass and metal. Metal shingles last the longest around 50 years but cedar shingles are

the most expensive. Proper installation is required for shingles to last longer otherwise even metal

shingles can get damaged quickly if not installed right.

According to TJR Constructions, five things make up a quality roofing system. These are materials,

installation, durability, performance and demolition.

The type of material has a great effect on the lifespan of the building as well as the energy efficiency.

The quality of installation is the key as it ensures the proper utilisation of a good material. The

installation process and how it affects the environment is vital for sustainable roofing.

Quality roofing also lasts longer and keeps excess roofing material out of landfill thus protecting the

environment and also saving money for the owner in the process.

The performance of the roof is measured in terms of the following: if is a good insulator, if it saves

energy cost and if it is able to keep the elements out.

A good quality roof should also be able to take more repairs than replacements during its lifetime. It

should be environmentally and economically sustainable and keep in what is meant to be kept in

and keep out what is meant to be kept out.
