What Type of Roof Is Best for Cold Climates?
If you live in a colder climate, choosing the right type of roofing system to suit your needs is a smart investment that will improve the value and comfort of your home. But which roofing material is best for cold climates? Here are some of the options to consider for your home.
Best Roof for Heavy Snowfall
If heavy snowfall is your top concern, choosing a roofing system designed to easily shed that snow is the best option. Metal roofing is great at shedding snow, helping to prevent it from building up and adding weight to your home. It can also prevent ice dams and icicles from forming.
Best Roof for Energy Efficiency
While metal roofing can also deflect the sun’s heat, keeping out the cold is another story. Without an extensive amount of insulation added, metal roofing is not great at keeping your home warm and comfortable in frigid temperatures. Instead, wood shake roofs are better at holding up in the cold while also providing a level of insulation to improve your home’s energy efficiency in the winter months.
Best Roof for the Value
Not everyone is interested in the maintenance that wood shakes can require, nor the hefty price tag they come with. The best roof for the value is your standard asphalt shingle roof, which has a lower price point and holds up extremely well in cold climates.
The best roof for your home will depend on your local climate as well as your top priorities. At Kingdom Contracting, we can help you understand the differences so that you can find the roofing option that will best suit your needs. Contact us today for more information.

Rated Excellent
A great company to work with. We felt satisfied and comfortable from the [preliminary] meetings to the finished project. They worked straight with our insurance company which took a load off us and gave us no worries. Our roofing project turned out as good as we were told it would. We would highly recommend kingdom contracting to others and we will be working with them again for future renovations.

Having known Sam for a couple of years I vouch for for the honesty badge he wears and can recommend Kingdom Contracting to any of my family or friends for damage repair from varietal sources general exterior contracting from windows and siding to rooftops and other repair needs. I wouldn't hesitate to call him.
