Comprehensive Roofing Guide: Everything You Need to Know

Roofing is more than just protection from the elements—it's a critical investment for your property, influencing comfort, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and long-term value. At BRAND BOA, we're committed to providing you with essential insights into roofing, helping you make informed decisions about your property.

Types of Roofs

Flat Roofs

Ideal for commercial buildings or modern homes, flat roofs are cost-effective and easy to maintain. They allow for extra living or recreational space, such as roof gardens or solar panel installations.

Pitched Roofs

Commonly seen in residential homes, pitched roofs efficiently shed water and snow, offer excellent durability, and provide additional attic storage or living space.

Metal Roofs

Metal roofing is robust, long-lasting, and energy-efficient, reflecting heat and reducing cooling costs. Available in various materials like aluminum, steel, and copper.

Slate Roofs

Slate roofing combines elegance with exceptional durability, capable of lasting over a century. It's ideal for historical homes or properties requiring a luxurious finish.
