Whether you’re building new or replacing a roof, selecting the right materials affects durability, cost, and energy efficiency.
Compare Popular Materials:
- Asphalt shingles: Affordable, 25–30 years lifespan.
- Metal roofing: Long-lasting (up to 70 years), energy-efficient.
- Slate, clay, tile: Premium options with 60–150 years of durability.
- Eco-friendly options: Composite shingles, reflective “cool” coatings help reduce energy bills.
Key Considerations:
