Roof materials and their uses for a durable structure have come a long way with the flexibility and stability they provide. When it comes to roof replacement, you can now choose among a variety of shingles to suit your fancy and give you the long-lasting protection you are looking for in your home. From asphalt shingles to solar panels, find out what the most common roof types are for your style and budget. 

Asphalt 

Asphalt shingles are quite common materials used these days, mostly because they hold up quite well in all environments. This material can withstand dry heat, cold snow, rain, wind, and more. They are also very easily maintained which leads to their value over time. Whether made from fiberglass or recycled organic materials, an asphalt roof can effectively shield your home from moisture and invading pests. 

Concrete 

Tiles made from concrete are very durable. They are used in climates where tornado or even hurricane damage is likely. These provide a sleek look and can be flattering to your landscape. While a bit heavier than other materials, concrete tiles provide superior protection against aggressive elements.  

Metal 

An affordable option of roof type is metal material. This type of panel or shingle is light, easy to install, and protective. It can help repel heavy snow and high winds. It is also easily painted to match the style of your home and décor. 

Slate 

If you are looking for a particularly long-lasting roof, slate is where it’s at! Slate can last decades and is proven to be water-resistant and even staves off any mold or mildew. Another bonus is that slate does not burn in the off chance your home catches fire, helping keep damage to a minimum.  

Solar panels 

Solar panels are the way to go when you are looking to save a bit of money and be a bit more energy conscious for the environment. These panels are energy efficient as they conduct heat and solar power from the sun to warm your home and keep appliances running at a very low cost.
