Different Types of Roofing Materials

Is your home due for a roof replacement? If so, you have a range of products to choose from for your new roof. Let’s review some of the most common types of roofing materials.

Asphalt Shingles

Easily the most common roofing material, asphalt shingles are a tried-and-true solution for protecting your home against the elements. Of course, like any home improvement product, not all are made the same, so be sure to select shingles that offer long-term performance and beauty.

Metal Panels

Metal roofing is one of the strongest options on the market. Typically installed in standing seam panels and available in either aluminum or steel, metal roofing is strong enough to last a lifetime. However, this option comes with a much higher price tag than asphalt shingles, rendering it beyond what most homeowners can afford.

Clay & Concrete Tiles

Clay and concrete tiles produce a quintessential American Southwest look, and they are super durable. The downsides of this option are its high costs and heavy weight—oftentimes the structure of a home must be reinforced to support the weight of tile roofing, an extra task that can further drive up costs.

TPO Membranes

Membrane roofing is used for flat roofs and is usually waterproof, impact resistant, and UV protective.
