Experienced New Home Roofers
The east coast of Florida has a hot and humid climate and roofing materials must be able to withstand high temperatures. Add to the mix thunderstorms, and sometimes hurricanes which means new construction roofing requires careful consideration of several factors. With extensive new construction experience, Three C’s Roofing services ensure durable roofing in the Sunshine State.
Roofing Types
Asphalt shingles are affordable, easy to install, and available in various colors and styles. However, they may not be the best choice for Florida’s climate, as they can crack and warp in extreme heat. Metal roofs, on the other hand, are a sound choice since they can withstand high winds and heavy rain. They are also energy-efficient, reflecting heat away from the home, which can help keep cooling costs down. Tile roofing is a top choice: it is extremely long-lasting, even with high winds and heavy rain. However, tiles can be more expensive than other roofing materials.
Roof Ventilation
Proper ventilation is essential to ensuring your new roof stays cool and dry, as well as preventing moisture buildup. Proper roof vents allow air to circulate and prevent heat buildup in the attic. Ridge vents, soffit vents, and gable vents are all common types of vents. How many roof vents do you need? What works best? Your roof vents should be split evenly with half dedicated to air intake and half dedicated for air exhaust. Three C’s Roofing has the professional experience to properly calculate your roofing ventilation requiements.
Storms and Weather
Florida experiences hurricanes, with many coastal areas at risk of being hit by these powerful storms. New construction roofing should be designed to withstand high winds. This can be achieved through the use of specialized roofing materials, such as hurricane-resistant shingles or metal roofing. The roof must also be installed with the right number of nails and fasteners, according to building codes. Three C’s Roofing has over 30 years of local roofing experience. We know what it takes to install a quality roof that stands the test of time.
Intense Heat
The Sunshine State’s hot and sunny climate means that roofs can be subjected to intense UV radiation, which can cause them to deteriorate over time. Cracking, warping, and other shingle damage can compromise the roof’s integrity. To protect against UV damage, some roofing materials may be treated with a special coating that helps reflect sunlight and reduce heat buildup. Metal roof panels are an excellent choice for this as well as roof tile. This can help extend the life of the new roof and keep the home cooler.
