Choosing The Right Roofing Material For Our Roof Replacement Cost Calculator

Now that you have calculated the area of your roof, it is time you choose the right roofing material to finalize the estimate using our roof replacement cost calculator. Our roofing calculator offers two types of roofing: residential and commercial. Each of them offers various materials and here we will discuss the main features of each roofing type to help you discuss.

Residential vs. Commercial: What is the difference?

There are three major differences between commercial and residential roofs that are going to be discussed further. Choosing the right material is important to get an accurate estimate using our roofing calculator.

Roof Design
The design of the roofs is the main difference between residential and commercial. Commercial roofs typically have a very low or entirely flat slope. This type of roofs is typically seen on warehouses, shops, restaurants, and factories. The commercial roofs are typically much bigger than a typical residential roof. A residential roof usually has a higher pitch and is smaller.
Roofing Materials
The materials used on both residential and commercial roofs vary based on the roof design, size, cost, and weather conditions. The most popular roofing material for residential buildings is asphalt shingles. Commercial roofs are often covered with single-ply coverings. Each material has its pros and cons and should pick your material for the roofing calculator with care.
Roof Installation and Repair Requirements
Installation and repair requirements for commercial and residential properties vary. For example, a commercial roof usually takes longer to install while a residential roof can take just a few days. The skillset and the process are also different for both roofing types. Typically, the process for installing residential roofs involves nailing plywood to wooden rafters, creating the roof deck. Then, a protective underlayment is laid down, before installing shingles, shakes, or tile.

A commercial roof is built using multiple layers, including insulation, decking, protective coating, and reflecting coating. You can see that the price of commercial roofing types is slightly higher in our roof replacement cost calculator.
