What to Consider When Choosing a Roofing Material

When selecting a roof, it's important to consider:

Wind and storm resistance – Cape Cod often experiences strong storms and heavy rain
Protection from salty air – materials must resist corrosion and rot
Longevity and lifespan – longer-lasting roofs reduce future repair costs
Aesthetics and home style – the roof should complement your home's design
Installation requirements and maintenance – some materials need special care or regular upkeep
