Affordable and Modern Roofing for Your New Home

If you are looking for a way to improve your new home, a quality roof is a great choice. You know that your roof protects you and your belongings from the outside elements and nobody wants to deal with potential water damage from a poorly constructed roof. Because of this, it is important to choose the best roofing material for your needs, personal style, and environment. If you are up in the air as to which roof style is right for your home take a look at these handy suggestions.



Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt composition shingles are affordable and durable roofing options. They last up to 20 years and come in a variety of colors and designs. Asphalt architectural shingles are more expensive, but last for up to 30 or 50 years. These shingles also offer additional fire protection and are more wind resistant than composition shingles. Both the asphalt and composite shingle are very popular roofing options for new homes with both offering different pros and cons.

Metal Roofs
Metal roofs may be a little more expensive, but they offer a ton of benefits. They last up to 50 years or longer. Metal roofs are fire resistant and energy efficient. They are also durable and do not require much upkeep. This type of roofing material is a great investment to make if you have the money.

Slate Roofing
Slate roofing is a great choice. It lasts for 60 years or longer. It is costly, but very beautiful and long lasting. It does not require much upkeep either. This material is fireproof and waterproof. You can choose from many designs and enjoy its beauty for a long time to come.

Upgraded Gutters
Gutters offer additional protection for your home and are quite necessary for a safe home. They catch rain as it runs off of your roof, and they direct the water away from your doors, windows, and foundation. There are many different types of gutters to choose from depending on your needs.

Aluminum gutters are probably the most popular choice. They do not rust and can be painted with ease. These gutters come in a variety of thicknesses and gauges. Metal and copper gutters are long lasting and durable options. Plastic and vinyl gutters are less expensive, but may not last as long as other options. There are many good specialty gutters available. They may have larger bottoms or larger downspouts to increase water flow.

There are many modern roofing choices available that will not cost you a fortune. Take your time and choose the right one for your area and needs. If you are having roof leaks though, you should get in contact with Armstrong and Nelson Inc so as to make sure you don’t get any mold or water damage. 

There are many quality choices out there that will fit your budget and be sure to hire professionals to install your roof and gutter system so that your new home will look its best and be protected for years to come.

 At any given time of the year, there are over three million homes for sale in the United States. That's a lot of competition if you're trying to sell your house.

Here is how to stage your home the right way: 1.Repaint the Walls The first step in staging a home is to repaint the walls. If you're moving, pack before you paint. If you are living in your home while you try to sell it, store everything but the essentials. Paint the walls in each room in a neutral tone.

Growing Cilantro Gardening Advice

The seeds of this herb consist of two seeds. They are surrounded by a husk that is either a gray or a light brown. They must be prepared before they can be planted. This is done by crushing the husk to remove the seeds. They are soaked in water from 24 to 48 hours and then allowed to dry. Growing Cilantro from seeds Cilantro seeds should be planted and covered with about  ¼ inch of soil. Once it sprouts and starts growing, at about 2 inches tall you will need to thin it out somewhat. Do not thin it too much because cilantro does best when it is planted only 3 or 4 inches apart. Cilantro is not a hot weather plant and the leaves will shade the roots. This keeps it from prematurely producing seeds. The sun will cause the cilantro to flower and seeds will be produced too early. This is going to happen if the soil gets 75 degrees, so the best place to begin growing cilantro is in a shady area that receives sun in the morning or afternoon. This garden herb grows quickly so the best way to
