When I was growing up, we were told to say \u201crooves", with a hard \u201cV.\u201d\xa0 These days \u201croofs\u201d is the more common pronunciation.\xa0 I might say either or both today in our mini lesson about choosing the right roofing material for your home.\xa0

When choosing the type of roof you want for your new home, you\u2019ll need to consider how much money you want to spend and how often you want to maintain, and potentially repair or replace your roof.\xa0 The roof is first and foremost a functional structure, but don\u2019t dismiss the importance of choosing a roof that is aesthetically pleasing.

We often give quite a bit of thought to the way the front of our house, or the front elevation, will look, but we sometimes fail to give the color and texture of our ROOF as much consideration. What roof you choose will have a big impact on your home\u2019s curb appeal.\xa0 I recently read that if we think of the front of the house as your home\u2019s face, then the roof is like your home\u2019s hair. \xa0 And you know how important someone\u2019s hair is to their overall appearance.\xa0

So today I\u2019ll give an overview of the 6 most common types of roofing materials.\xa0 We\u2019ll talk about how they function, how much they cost and how they look.
