How to Choose the Best Wichita Roof For You

Roofs do a lot for us; they protect us from weather and give us comfort all year-round. We only begin to notice how much our roofs do when there’s a problem. When you need a new roof for your home, reliable Wichita roofing companies can help you decide which roof is best for your needs, and here’s a guide to help you prepare:

What Type of Roof is Right for You?

If you’re inside right now, reading and relaxing in a comfortable environment, you have a roof to thank for that. Not only does it keep you from the outdoor elements, but a stylish roof can add curb appeal to your home.

Don’t overlook what’s overhead. The overall look and feel of your home depends on the condition of your roof. If it's aging or leaking, it might be time to replace and repair. There are many styles and types of roof you can upgrade to that will enhance your overall ROI. Here are a few roof types to help you decide what’s right for your home.

Roof Installation Costs

Installing a new roof on a home is not a cheap endeavor, however, it is extremely important for the overall well-being of the home. A faulty roof can lead to lasting and expensive home damage that can otherwise be avoided, such as mold issues, staining and damage to walls and ceiling.  The average cost to install a roof is $6,364, but will largely be determined by the style, material, and size of the roof.

 Shape & Size of Roof

If you’re planning on replacing or repairing, one of the first things you’ll need to do is determine the shape of roof you have. This will largely depend on the size and style of your home. Here are a few ideas of roof shape to get you started:

• Flat Roofs: Less expensive but more difficult to maintain.
• Gable: Triangular roof with sloping sides.
• Gambrel or Barn: A sloping roof that looks more ridged and curved rather than triangular.
• Hip: All four sides join to create a sloped roof.
• Octagonal: An eight-sided roof that frames the round areas of the home.
• Combination: A roof with two different shapes to meet the home’s shape.

Before determining the type of roofing material you’ll use, it’s best to know how much you’ll need first. It’s estimated that at least 10% of the material will be used for waste. To help plan, use our roofing calculator and estimator for your roofing project.
