Finding a dependable roofing contractor or company is an important decision when you need a roof repair or roof replacement. A roof replacement or repair is a large investment, so it’s important to work with a company that is reliable, insured, licensed, bonded, and experienced.

They will also be more apt to know local roofing installation codes and other state requirements.

Cost is another major factor when it comes to choosing a roofing contractor. It’s important not to solely choose a roofing company on cost alone and to evaluate what you are getting for the price. Laborers with less experience that are paid lower wages, or cheaper materials could be the reason the cost is less sometimes.

We provide a wide variety of roofing choices to meet your needs. We have been serving our local community since 2000 and have a reputable team of trusted roofing contractors in Maryland and York, PA.
In the past, metal roofs were not commonly used on homes and much more popular on barns, and sheds, for example. But metal roofing trends have been on the rise and for good reason. They have a lower thermal mass than other roofing options on the market making them one of the most energy efficient choices and can yield up to 40% savings in energy costs. They also can last anywhere from 40-70 years, depending on the specific material used, in comparison to traditional asphalt roofing materials that may only last up to 20 years. Because of this, it common for a roofing company to have this option available in their repertoire.
If you are in the market for a top-of-the-line roof, slate roofs can be considered the Rolls- Royce of the roofing industry and a viable option to consider when talking to your local roofing company about your options. Slate Roofs are made from natural metamorphic rocks and have been used as a construction material since ancient Egyptian times. Since it is made of natural materials from the earth that have existed for millions of years, they are essentially indestructible with remarkable longevity of up to 150 years. Slate is also naturally fire and mold resistant and has a low water absorption capacity which helps eliminate water damage concerns.
Slate roofs also increase the market value of a home and are aesthetically appealing. Slate roofs are quite common nowadays in new construction and are a commonly recommended option among roofing companies. However, it is important to note that slate roofs are heavy, and it is important to talk with a qualified roofing company to determine if your home is designed to be able to hold the weight of a slate roof.

One of the most used materials a roofing contractor, like Christopher Homes, installs is shingle roofing. Cost and ease are some of the top selling points of this type of roofing. Shingle roofing is an affordable roof repair option, and shingles are also easy to replace which makes maintenance relatively hassle free. There is also a wide variety of color and style choices available to meet a variety of homebuyers style preferences. They are also energy efficient as the shingle colors allow them to reflect the sun’s infra-red radiation, thereby reducing the temperature of the roof surface, which can lead to less energy consumption when cooling your home.
