If you live or plan to move to a hot area and would like to replace asphalt roofing shingles with terracotta, or cement tiles then you will need to consult a professional roofing contractor. He can tell you if you need additional support for your roof. Terracotta and cement tiles are heavier than asphalt and can cause severe damage to your home.
The choice of roofing material will depend on the area you live in as well as your personal preferences. Metal roofing is popular in some areas due to its fire resistance. In other places, you might prefer a Spanish-influenced tile tool. The type of roofing materials that you can choose from will depend on the roof pitch. Wood shake shingles, for example, can be used on steeper roof pitches but not for lower pitched roofs.
You can handle minor roof repairs, such as replacing damaged shingles, if you are comfortable climbing up a ladder or through an upstairs window. You will need roofing cement, roofing nails, a putty knife and a hammer to do the job.
