What determines the choice of roofing material
-
Hey, I’m in the early stages of planning a roof replacement, and I’m trying to figure out what factors really matter when choosing the right material. Is it all about cost, or are there other things I should be considering? I want something that makes sense for Needham’s weather.

Great question! Cost is definitely a big factor, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. Durability is huge, especially with Needham’s weather—heavy snow and rain can do a number on a roof, so materials like metal or composite are worth considering for their longevity. Asphalt shingles are budget-friendly and hold up decently well, while metal roofing lasts longer but costs more upfront. Style and color can also play a role, especially if you’re aiming to boost curb appeal. Plum Pro is well-known for handling Needham roofing projects and can help you weigh these factors. They’ve worked with all kinds of materials and understand how to match the right one to the local climate and your home’s style.
