A roof is just a roof, right? Wrong!

Between different shapes, slants, slopes, and substances, the world of roof materials is a vast place where you can easily get lost. Normally, there are one or two materials that are better for your particular roof than any other option. That's all well and good, but without a great guide, you may find yourself in a sea of confusing construction.

Fear not! Our team at [First Quality Roofing & Insulation](http://www.firstqualityroof.com/services) will help you understand which roof materials may be best for you.

Owning a home is part of the American dream. It can also be one of the most confusing things you'll do in your life. There are so many things to keep tabs on: Which parts need regular maintenance? Who do you hire? How do you know they're doing what they're supposed to be doing

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. Unfortunately, this can also be one of the most neglected parts of a house, as it's rather out of sight and out of mind for many inexperienced homeowners. The truth is -- total roof replacements can be quite expensive, but proper upkeep and regular repair of broken shingles can help your roof live a long, happy, and cost-effective life.

Here's what you need to know about roof maintenance:

### [Stop Burglars in Their Tracks with These 8 Simple Tips](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/blog/stop-burglars-in-their-tracks-with-these-8-simple-tips)

![Burglar.jpg](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/hubfs/Burglar.jpg)

It's winter in Las Vegas – a time when many homeowners let their guard down about home security.

In fact, burglars are hoping you will. They may be busier during the summer, but they stay active year-round. The FBI reports that[a home burglary occurs in America every 18 seconds.](https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/figs/crime-clock.jpg?kbid=62075) More than 90 percent of the time, the homes are empty, strongly suggesting that burglars “watch” a home before making their move. And they move fast, grabbing what they can and taking off in mere minutes.

Since First Quality Roofing & Insulation works [year-round to keep your home safe and secure](http://www.firstqualityroof.com/services), we take special pride in helping our customers burglar-proof their homes. These eight simple home security steps should take only minutes to implement:

![Thermostat.jpg](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/hubfs/Thermostat.jpg)

Some household myths have been around so long and have spread so wildly that they're no longer myths; they've become urban legends. One such legend is that homeowners should not dial down their heat before leaving the house during the fall and winter. The thought is that the furnace will have to work harder to warm your house once you return. The warning is clear: a furnace that works harder will cost you more money to operate, so leave that dial where it is before you walk out the door.
