When a homeowner is interested in upgrading or replacing their roofing system, we’re often asked which materials are ideal for our area and what options we’d recommend. Although the right material will vary for each person’s unique preferences and budget, we typically tell people about these popular roofing solutions:
- Asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common type of roofing system in the country, offering an unbeatable blend of versatility, style, affordability, and durability. Asphalt shingles are available in a wide range of colors and styles, relatively inexpensive, and durable enough to last for about 20 years with proper maintenance.
- Metal roofing. Metal roofing systems used to be more common on commercial and industrial buildings, but more and more homeowners are starting to recognize the unique benefits of metal roofs. Although metal roofing systems are more expensive to install, they can offer decades of consistent performance with minimal maintenance, and they’re also resistant to fire, rot, and pest infestations.
- Wood Shakes/Shingles. Wood shakes or shingles are more expensive, making them less common for homeowners on a budget, but they offer a classic rustic charm that’s hard to beat. In addition to being stylish, they’re resilient and durable if you select the right type of wood. For example, cedar shake roofs can last for 40 years or longer with routine upkeep.
