Roofing Options

Are you getting ready to renovate your roof? We’ve got you covered—literally! We’re going to talk about some of the best options to protect your home and make sure it looks great, too. These days, there are plenty of advanced roofing materials that go above and beyond your average options. But don’t worry, we’ll go over your common choices, too.

Whether your roof was recently damaged or you’re simply ready for a change, it’s important to find the best fit for your roof replacement. Make the most out of your roofing project with these top five premium materials:

Timeless Asphalt Shingles

No matter where you live, you can always count on asphalt to protect your home and improve your curb appeal. It’s one of the most used roofing materials throughout the nation for this very reason! Whatever the weather, quality asphalt shingles are guaranteed to keep your home safe. This durable roofing option is affordable, easy to install, and should hold strong for about 20 years with proper maintenance. 

Pro tip: install asphalt shingles in warmer temperatures. Winter weather can result in damage during installation, which means more problems for you down the road.

Superior Slate Roofs

Slate—where optimal strength meets lasting beauty. When you choose this durable material, you can expect to keep your roof intact for more than 100 years! Slate roofing is especially great in wet climates, as it is waterproof and easily resists mold and fungus growth. It also won’t burn in the case of extreme emergencies, so you can expect great protection no matter what life throws at you.

You can enjoy a more natural look with rubber slate, too. Whichever you choose, we have a few things you should keep in mind. These materials are more prone to damage from hail, footsteps, and satellite dishes. They’re also a bit more expensive, but their long lifespan will help you save on replacements!

Efficient Metal Roofing

Metal roofing offers the perfect balance of durability, beauty, and value. Metal can withstand high winds, heavy snows, hot summer sun rays, and more! When it comes to choosing your metal roofing, we’ve got you covered with our superior SolarShield technology.

We complete our installations with radiant barrier technology, so your roof can withstand 140-mph winds and reflect 97% of the sun’s heat. That means you can expect year-round protection and save on your monthly heating and cooling bills, too.

Advanced Solar Tiles

If you’re looking for another energy-efficient option, solar tiles are great for you. Solar tiles are aesthetically pleasing and offer easy installations and great protection. They can blend seamlessly in with your existing shingles, so you can avoid any issues your HOA may have with traditional solar panels.

These options are more on the expensive side, but they’ll help you save on energy costs over time. While they are less efficient than solar panels, they don’t take away from your home’s overall style and can take the place of damaged asphalt shingles on your existing roof.

Unique Green Roofs

These living roofs can improve air quality, reduce water runoff, and provide great insulation for your home. As an eco-friendly roof, the advantages to green options are endless. They can provide a unique style to your home and reduce both air and noise pollution. However, there are a few setbacks, too.

Green roofing is a bit more expensive and is more susceptible to damage. If the plant roots penetrate the waterproof membrane of your roof, it can cause leaks and other structural damage. There’s an extra level of maintenance that come with green roofs, but they can improve your overall quality of living, as well.
