Asphalt-Shingles Roofing Information

Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing material. They represent about 80-90% of the roofing market. They are available in a wide range of qualities, costs, colors, and styles. Modern asphalt shingles can be specially designed and come close to the original appearance of most common roofing materials (wood, metal, slate, tile, etc) for a fraction of the cost. They can be used fairly easily with edging tools, and it is no problem navigating around chimneys, skylights, and vent flashings.

Wood / Cedar Roofing Information

Nothing can replace the natural, rustic look of new cedar roofing. They are a bit more expensive then some other types of roofing materials. That being said, there is a lot of up-side to wood shingles or shakes. In general, wood roofing materials have a much longer life, they can last 50 years or more. They can also be fire-treated, and can be installed over the top of asphalt shingles to save on cost.

Metal Roofing Information

Metal roofing has come a long way in the past few years. Some metal roofing designs can now look like wood, or other materials. The obvious advantage to metal roofing is that it has the highest fire rating 'Class A'. This is great for homes where drought is common and wildfires are a concern. Another common place where people use metal roofing is on their cabin. The most common metal roofing types are steel, or aluminum shakes, which that are light weight and rustproof. Metal roofing material is moderately priced, more expensive than asphalt shingles, but less then wood shingles or shakes.

Slate Roofing Information

Slate is a natural rock that is mined in the northeastern US. Slate roofing is available in a variety of different colors and grades, and it is extremely heavy and the most expensive material that you can get for your roof. It is crucial to find a roofer that is properly trained using the correct techniques when installing a slate roof. With proper installation, a slate roof can last for hundreds of years. To confirm that point, many slate roofs from the 1800s are still intact today.

Tile Roofing Information

Tile roofing is made with either clay, or concrete and it is very heavy. When considering changing to tile from asphalt, metal, or wood remember the extra weight. You need to be sure that your house can support the extra load. Red tile roofing is commonly found in the southwestern United States, being extremely common in Florida and California. Red is the most popular color, but these days you can get your tile roofing in a large variety of colors and even specialty finishes.
