I would choose what keeps the water out, what is most energy efficient, what looks the best and what lasts longest.

Unfortunately, I don't always get to do the choosing :blush:

thanks for the reply and sorry for the late comeback, but why dont you get to choose? :dry:

Because it isn't my money being spent?

Replacing a home roofing is an experience shared by many Canadians. Damp spots on attic insulation and crumbling shingles are indicators that roofing needs attention. Broken roof tiles must be replaced to prevent water damage. There are many types of roofing from which to choose. The roof of a house in Vancouver will be exposed to much more rain and less snow than a home in Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, etc. You need to consider the type of weather to which your roof is subjected when ing roofing. For example, clay and slate tiles can be damaged by hail; metal roofing works well for many vacation homes in ski country. Talk with a contractor to find out the types of roofing that would be appropriate for your house, given its location and the climate in your area.
