A roof is just a roof, right? Although the concept of roofing seems pretty simple to most homeowners, the process of choosing a material is more than just flipping through a book of color swatches and comparing small examples of available materials like you would for other home improvement projects. Instead, you will need to invest some serious time and energy in researching how your home will take to certain materials depending on factors such as climate, shape, weight, and of course, your budget.

But what exactly should you consider before sealing the deal? When selecting a new material, always ask the following (once you've determined that it falls within your price range):

1. How long does this material last?

2. What weather conditions does it prove to be successful in?

3. Does this material comply with my local building codes?

4. Is my home strong enough to support this type of roof?

5. Will the material match the exterior of my home?

By answering each of these questions (and in detail, we might add), the process of choosing a material will seem almost effortless. In fact, you might even start to feel like the material chose you! 

And why are these questions so important? That's easy. If you choose a material without first figuring out how they will withstand your region's weather conditions or get clearance from your town, there is a good chance you will find yourself turning to your wallet down the road to either a) complete additional repairs or b) start the entire process over again. You wouldn't want to do either, would you?
