Consumers want shingles that provide the best protection for their roof and compliment the color of their home, and they are becoming more interested in selecting the right product, roofers say.
Aesthetics are a very important concern for consumers. Shingle color selection is important, said Tom Gample, residential manager for Burns & Scalo Roofing Co. in Crafton.
Generally, homeowners don't know what type of shingle is on their roof, and it's difficult to identify shingles once they've been installed. But that's changing, Gample said. Consumers are now spending time researching various roofing materials, he said.
Matthew Milanek, marketing manager for New Horizons Home Exteriors & Windows Co. Inc. of Castle Shannon, said, We have found our consumers are researching roofing material, and we bring samples to their homes for inspection. They can also obtain information on the materials on our website, which will allow them to check a manufacturer's description of the shingle, he said.
With the cost of a new roof increasing, homeowners want the best for their money, he said.
According to Remodeling Magazine, a midrange roofing replacement project in the Pittsburgh area costs $19,723, and upon resale of the house, the value of the roof is $11,104, or 56.3 percent of the cost. For an upscale job, the cost is $37,352 with a resale value of $18,539, or 49.6 percent of the cost, the magazine said. Pittsburgh area roofers say those numbers are generally accurate, but some roofers will charge less.
Ed Curley, 76, a retired Pittsburgh Public School teacher, and his wife Catherine decided their Bethel Park home needs a new roof.
They contacted Burns & Scalo, and a representative came to their home with samples in various colors.
We selected three different colors. and he had his people superimpose each color on a picture of our roof, Curley said. But he also suggested we view the different colors on other roofs in the area, so he drove us around and we decided on Atlantic blue.

Roofing 101: Picking shingles for best coverage - Video
Everyone has seen a bad remodel.
You've seen the house where the new addition looks like a big shed bumped up against the house, or the second story that looks as if it could have fallen from space and just happened to land on that particular house.
The key to achieving a seamless blend of the old and the new has to do with the roof. The shape (or massing) of the roof is critical. It often takes the trained eye of an architect to help you with this design issue to ensure that your renovated homes construction looks well-integrated and successfully executed. Once the massing issues are resolved and the style of the home established, the material used on the roof will be the next decision key to the success of the project.
One of our clients hired us to remodel an old addition to help it blend in with the rest of the house. They knew they would have to redo the roof for two reasons: First, the old addition's roof was flat, and second, it was leaking. Flat roofs that are not well-maintained tend to have that problem at some point.
These clients understood that a roof has a lot to do with defining a house's personality. They felt that the 1920s prairie style of their home called for the look of a classic tiled roof, so they expanded their project from just adding a new roof to the addition to changing the roofing materials on the existing house as well. However, the existing roof structure couldn't handle the weight of the tiles. Concrete and clay tiles tip the scales at 500 to 800 pounds per square foot (or 100 square feet or a 10-foot by 10-foot area of the roof) for the lightweight versions, and 900 to 1,200 pounds per square foot for regular tiles.
Reinforcing the structure of the roof added a few more months to their construction schedule and more than a few dollars to their budget, but being able to upgrade to the tile roof with the impact it made on the curb appeal made it worth the investment to them.
The selection of the roofing material is an important aspect of a remodel when you are adding on to a home. While some projects can get away with matching the material of the addition to the existing roofing material, this may be a good time to replace all the shingles. This is one surefire way to make the addition more seamless. It will look great and the entire roof can age and wear at the same rate.
When deciding on a roofing material, there is a lot to consider. Cost, as well as aesthetics, are factors.
Asphalt shingle roofs usually cost from $50-$150 per square foot. Though building codes generally allow up to three layers of shingles, tearing off the existing shingles is highly recommended to get a roof that lays flat and looks sharp. This will add another $30-$50 per square foot to the cost.
Metal roofing and concrete tiles may start at $100 per square foot and run up to $600 or more for coated steel and copper. Ceramic tile and slate are also considerably more than asphalt shingles. Clay tiles can cost $300-$500 per square foot. Slate, with its need for skilled and experienced craftsmen, can cost up to $1,000 a square foot.
