Custom Roofing in Benton AR | Choosing a New Home Roof


If you are having a home custom-built, you will also be selecting a new home roof. If the house is in a subdivision, you may only be able to select the color of the roof tiles.

The new home roof will most likely be made of concrete tiles if the development is in Benton AR. If the house is in high-end housing development, it may have a clay tile roof or a concrete tile roof that is colored and shaped to look like the classic red Spanish tile roof.

Furthermore, if it is a concrete tile, it is most likely a lighter weight tile than a genuine red tile roof component.

In other parts of the country, a new home roof may be made up of a variety of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles.

If you are having a custom home built for yourself, you can choose almost any type of roofing material available. In Benton AR, there is a custom-built roundhouse with a somewhat pitched round roof that has a reflective copper roof and appears to glow as you drive by with the sun hitting it just right. Metal roofs with copper are also an option for a new home.

The primary disadvantage of installing a copper roof is the cost. However, if you are investing in the construction of a high-quality custom home, copper for the roof is always an option. A copper roof is an excellent choice because it does not corrode, can withstand extreme weather conditions, and will last a lifetime.

The material is malleable and can be shaped to fit almost any architectural style of home.

One thing to keep in mind when building a custom home is that when it comes to choosing a new roof, many communities have building codes that may limit your roofing material options. Your architect will be able to advise you on what you can do in these neighborhoods.

Other roofing materials for custom homes include slate or a slate composite, cedar shake, authentic red tiles, asphalt shingles, and other metals. One issue with cedar shake is that some communities require pressure-treated fire retardant shake on new home roofs due to the real fire danger.
