Comparing Roofing Options for Columbia MO Properties

For Columbia property owners, asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roofing systems each offer different benefits and may suit different roof designs and project needs. Consider the roof structure and slope, maintenance needs, material preferences, and project budget.

Asphalt shingles are a familiar option for sloped roofs. Metal roofing comes in several profiles, including standing seam, corrugated panels, and metal shingles. Flat and low-slope roofs may use systems such as modified bitumen, EPDM, or TPO.

Comparing these differences can help narrow the options before choosing a roofing system for your property.

Suzy D.
I worked with Prime on a project to adjust the windows in our living room (change the size + replace). This required a few stages of construction to include removing old windows, re-framing and drywalling, adding new custom windows and replacing the exterior siding. I enjoyed working with both Jackson, our sales/project contact, and Tyler, our day-of PgM. While we had some delays with materials being delivered from vendors, there was nothing that was out of the ordinary for a construction job -- you'll always need to be a bit flexible. Jackson and Tyler were always kind with me and my family, calm when addressing concerns, and quick to return messages when I had questions. You could tell they cared about our home and our family. They pointed out other concerns with windows we weren't ready to replace but shared how we could do a fix on to hold them out longer; they gave me some tips on how to trim out the interiors because I wanted to DIY it; and even ran a magnet over the worksite to ensure the clean-up was immaculate. We will be working with Prime on future projects! [Update: the team checks in to see how everything is going!]

Prime Exteriors did an outstanding job for our property, The Quarters Columbia, after a recent unit required exterior repairs. Their team was quick, affordable, and incredibly easy to work with. The quality of work exceeded our expectations, and we’re excited to partner with them on future projects. Highly recommend!

I had a complete exterior house remodel done by Prime Exteriors: siding, roof, soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts, windows, and doors. Jackson Brawner, my sales rep, and the rest of the crew took great care of us and he was always responsive to my text messages and questions. Once the crews arrived, they got my house done FAST!! The punchlist items were very few and they came right back to make the needed adjustments. We get so many compliments on the house now.

I had the opportunity to work with a company before them. They ultimately came out and replaced everything that they did because it wasn’t done right. The process easy. They were able to educate me on the right way to do things while they did it. The team was incredibly fast and skilled I highly recommend this company for siding work.
Brandon R.
My house looks very good. I did a very good job on the work. I got it done quick anytime you call him. They always pick up the phone. Thank you again will be doing business again thank you very much again.

Factors to Evaluate when Choosing a Roofing Material:

When comparing roofing materials, consider the design and slope of your roof, the characteristics of each roofing system, maintenance needs, appearance, and your project budget. Not every roofing material is appropriate for every property, so the existing roof and structure should also be considered when evaluating your options. A professional roof evaluation can help you understand which roofing systems are appropriate for your property.

Material Cost, Maintenance & Durability Comparison

Upfront cost is only one part of comparing roofing materials. Different roofing systems also have different installation requirements, maintenance considerations, material characteristics, and applications. The size and design of the roof, existing roof conditions, selected material, and scope of the work can all affect the project. A roofing material that is appropriate for one roof design may not be the right system for another. Compare these factors together rather than choosing a roofing material based on one characteristic alone. A professional roof evaluation can also help identify which roofing systems are appropriate for the property before you make a final decision.
