Roofing

I think I need a new roof. Now what? First of all, don't worry. Twin Home Services has the experienced roofing team that is here to help. Our entire Roofing Basics section is designed to give you the information you need. While replacing a roof can be a big and important decision, it also helps protect your biggest investment—your home—and gives you the chance to start fresh with a new exterior look. Getting the color and shape of shingle you have always wanted is a great way to express your individual personality and add real value. Plus, if you have a leak, ignoring it can only make it worse and could result in interior damage or even mold or roof deck rot. You'll notice that a roof is much more than just shingles—it's a complete system of integrated components and layers all working together to protect the home. The best part of today's roofing products is that manufacturers such as Owens have gone to great lengths to create not only roofs that function well but also roofs that look great. The ever-popular architectural roof design has been a standard for quite some time, giving the appearance of the old-fashioned wood or slate roof—and any of these styles can enhance and beautify the look of your home. There are some home styles, such as a Cape or Dutch Colonial, that expose a tremendous area of roofing simply from their design; so picking the right color and style for this type of roof is very important. Yes, a roof is for protection, but also consider the design of your home when choosing a roof that not only fits your home but your sense of style as well.

Gutters & Leaders

The second part of working on the upper part of your home is the gutters. They most importantly direct water off the roof and away from your home. But like anything that gets attached to your house, there are choices, and gutters and leaders are no different. For years, there were wood gutters and then copper gutters, but now they are mostly aluminum and, in most cases, seamless. However, there are many types of gutter and leader styles that mimic the older look—should you need that in a restoration job or just for your own personal taste. So when deciding on gutters and leaders, take the time to weigh all your options; it really finishes off the look of your home.
