When you need your roof to withstand the heat of the sun in the summer, the winter freeze and the strong winds and storms of autumn, Denver is one of the most challenging place of all to select the right roofing material. That’s because the Denver area, while having an overall balanced climate because of its inland position and proximity to the Rocky Mountains, it’s also very dry, plagued with quick temperature changes and featuring sudden storms which can easily do a number on even the strongest and most resilient roofing systems.
For residential roofing, you won’t be able to keep an asphalt or wood shingle roof for long, as they are simply too fragile. Also, metal roofing works pretty well, but it is affected by temperature changes through contraction and expansion, so it can suffer a lot of damage over a longer period of time.
A better solution is to schedule time with roofing companies in Denver highly recommended by your community. These roofers may suggest you get either a clay, concrete or slate roof. Even though these materials are somewhat more expensive, they are very resilient, fireproof, and able to withstand strong winds and storms without suffering much damage. The only downside is that slate and clay are pretty expensive, but Denver roofers will work within your budget when it comes to selecting the material for your Denver roof.
