Roofapedia.com helps decipher roofing issues

Roofapedia.com, the first ever consumer advice website designed specifically to help homeowners understand how to tackle issues with their roofs, has officially launched. With resources to help consumers understand how much they should pay for roofing work, how to find professional roofers in their region and which roof coverings will offer best value for their property, Roofapedia.com covers all areas of roofing maintenance and improvement.

Avoiding the cowboys

In partnership with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), Roofapedia also provides homeowners with a dynamic database of roofers in their region, alongside a jargon buster and downloadable guides covering every element of roofing, to help arm users with enough knowledge to get exactly what they want from a contractor. Planning permission guidelines and FAQs also help homeowners to plan roofing work efficiently and ensure roofers follow the required procedures.

Home improvement gets social

To accompany the website, Roofapedia has also launched a Twitter profile and Facebook page to allow consumers to ask roofing questions directly, discuss personal roofing situations and to help with problems as they happen. The Roofapedia social media community can also recommend contractors, products, prices and styles, as well as share problems and successes through images, videos and written updates.

Step-by-step practical, expert guidance

A Roofapedia blog will also provide an expert step-by-step guide to re-roofing your home as well as responding to topical issues such as seasonal weather conditions and legislative changes. Questions can also be submitted directly to the website and content is organised according to its popularity to ensure the most useful resources are foregrounded.
