Lower Prices, But Are They Using the Right Material? What Homeowners Must Know About Roofing
When shopping for roofing contractors, it’s common to come across wide differences in pricing. Some companies offer significantly lower rates - but the real question is: what materials are they using?
In the roofing industry, material quality affects everything: durability, safety, and long-term cost. And one of the most important materials to pay attention to is steel.
Why Can Some Contractors Offer Cheaper Prices?
In many cases, lower prices come from using non-galvanised or low-quality steel for the roofing structure.
At first glance, the roof may look the same. But underneath, the difference is huge.
Contractors who cut costs on materials often use steel that:
Rusts quickly, especially in Singapore’s humid climate
Becomes weaker over time
Compromises the structure’s strength
Requires frequent repairs or early replacement
This is how they keep prices low — but it puts homeowners at risk of long-term problems.
Why Galvanised Steel Matters
The most reliable choice for roofing frameworks is galvanised steel.
Galvanised steel is coated with zinc, which acts as a protective barrier that:
Prevents rust and corrosion
Strengthens the entire structure
Lasts longer in outdoor environments
Withstands heavy rain, strong sun, and moisture
Simply put: it’s the right material for Singapore’s weather.
Cheap Today, Expensive Tomorrow
A low-cost quote may save you money upfront, but using the wrong type of steel can lead to:
Sagging or weakened roofing
Rusted beams
Costly repairs
Full roof replacement earlier than expected
Choosing the right contractor is not just about price — it’s about ensuring your roof is safe, durable, and built to last.
