Should I Repair or Replace My Roof?
The question of whether to repair or replace roof shingles is a top concern among homeowners, and the answer depends upon the age of your roof and its current condition
How Long Will My Roof Last?
For anyone who has needed to replace their roof, one of the biggest concerns is whether a different type of roofing will last longer and ultimately be more worth the investment. When a homeowner ends up replacing a roof on more than one occasion, the question becomes even more pressing. This leads people to ask about more long-lasting types of roofing, such as metal, slate and clay.

Private Residence in the British Virgin Islands
When Huber & Associates was asked to provide the owner with a Japanese style roof using cooper roofing the answer was quick and design work was soon to follow. A "S" shaped copper tile with other Japanese style cooper accents.
There were challenges to creating the desired aesthetic with enduring function. First, a tile with a curved profile in hurricane zone meant firm attachment and ability to lock the tiles in place. Second, given the lower slope, dependable water shedding in wind driven rain. And third, the building design required an access to a large built in gutter at the roof's midpoint and obviously, walking on copper tiles would not yield a good result.

Bella Collina - Clay Tile Roofing
The Spirit of Tuscany. Where the perfect atmosphere of the ancient world is combined with that of today created with the highest standards building and wind codes. The clay roof tiles were installed with old Italy in mind, incorporating: random stacking tiles, triple tiles at eaves, random exposures and courses, and finally a mortar-set look throughout the field tiles. Huber & Associates successfully engineered the roof to not only support the weight over open roof battens, but simultaneously met the strict Florida wind uplift codes as well. The charm is both obvious above, and warm and inviting below, with the tile visible on open battens.
Bryce Canyon Lodge's Cedar Roof
The Bryce Canyon Lodge was constructed in the early 1920's by the Union Pacific Railroad as a way to gain more tourists in the area. In 1987, this lodge was acknowledged as a National Historic Landmark, and today is the only national park lodge from the era to still be intact and actively running. Crowning this rustic lodge was a bright hunter green roof made up of cedar shingles with a wave pattern giving the whole roof a unique sense of motion. The last reroofing did not include the original roof pattern, but with preservation in mind the roof was matched as closely to the original as possible.
Arriving to Reroof
The reroofing process had to be done in the winter months during the lodge's off season. The crew arrived in January to a roof covered with snow!
