Types Of Roofing & Choosing
The Best For Your Family
Maryland | Baltimore | DC | VA
Installing a quality roof is one of the most important investments a Maryland/DC homeowner can make. If you live in the Maryland or DC areas, read this article to learn the type of roofing that will be best for you and your family.
Choosing the right replacement roof not only improves the appearance and energy efficiency of your home, it can increase property value by 15 to 40%!
It seems like a simple decision, but with so many options on the market, choosing the right type of roofing for your family can be overwhelming.
Besides cost, the primary factor to consider is durability. The "life" of a roof varies depending on the product you choose, with higher-end roofing generally lasting the longest.
It's also important to consider the style of your home and neighborhood; some types of roofing come in different colors and patterns to compliment your house and its surroundings. The following are the most popular types of roofing with some characteristics about each:

Here's what a recent customer had to say:
"I'd never had my roof replaced so when I noticed it started leaking I was a bit apprehensive - didn't quite know what to do, who to trust, how the process was going to work, etc.
I called Kanga Roof and they helped solve all my problems. A technician came out to my home, examined the roof, and patiently answered a zillion of my questions.
They started the project and before I knew it, they were done.
Now I have a new roof, and I'm very happy with the results (and the price I paid). Thanks Kanga Roof, you really did Hop To It!"
