#1: Asphalt Shingles
As the most popular roofing material in the United States for years, asphalt shingles are affordable and low-maintenance. These shingles come in a wide variety of shades and colors, making them an easy aesthetic match for any home. The combination of fiberglass, asphalt, and ceramic granules makes this material strong and water-resistant. With the right care and attention, asphalt shingles can keep your home protected for 20-25 years.
#2: Metal Roofs
This durable, long-lasting material has risen in popularity over the years as a sleek and sophisticated roofing option. Metal roofs vary in style, color, and types available (including aluminum, copper, and steel) and provide exceptional defense against the elements. Metal roofs are energy efficient, keeping the temperature of your home controlled while quickly melting snow and ice and holding up against wind and rain. This material will stand the test of time; many metal roofs are intact and effective for over 50 years.
#3: Synthetics
Plastic, rubber, and EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) have become top choices for those with a flat or low slope roof in search of materials that are more lightweight than metal but are just as tough. Synthetic roofs are incredibly customizable based on your needs and are resistant to impact, fire, and storm conditions. These materials are also more environmentally-friendly and can often be recycled.
