Metal Roofs
Metal roofing is growing rapidly in popularity thanks to falling costs, improving technology, and an increasing number of styles and looks. Metal roofing offers fantastic durability in a variety of different weather conditions, and has a longer life expectancy than most materials. However, it does carry a higher price tag for many applications, and while metal materials are built with sound dampening technology, they can be louder than other roofing materials. For this reason, metal roofs are generally used by commercial buildings, but they are growing in popularity in residential applications too.

More Roof Types
Shingle Roofs
Shingle roofs are by far the most common type of roof found on homes in the area and throughout much of the United States. They’re fairly easy to install, affordable, extremely cheap to produce, and come in a variety of colors and styles so your roof will look exactly how you want it to. However, their trade off comes in durability. Harsh sunlight is particularly hard on asphalt shingle roofing, and heavy impacts and high winds can badly damage them as well. For this reason, they tend to have one of the shortest lifespans of any type of common roof material, but they do also come with one of the lowest replacement costs to balance it out.
Tile Roofs
Tile roofing is also fairly common throughout warm-weather and high-sunlight environments. They’re renowned for their timeless and classic beauty along with their durability. These materials are also extremely popular for one major benefit: they are considered “fireproof,” as their material doesn’t naturally burn. Tile roofs do carry a higher price tag, but in exchange they offer a longer expected lifespan and great durability against a variety of weather hazards. However, they are prone to some serious damage from impacts, including hail.
Slate Roofs
Slate is an all-natural roofing material that has a unique and distinct look that many homeowners love. Because slate tiles are a type of naturally-occurring stone, this type of material is extraordinarily durable and, in some cases, can last more than 100 years! However, this type of roof does have its downsides. For starters, stone is extremely heavy, and most roofs not built for slate can’t support the weight without significant reinforcements or even being completely rebuilt. Likewise, because every slate tile has to be individually cut, this type of roofing is expensive and most homeowners won’t find it in their budget.

Commercial Roofing Materials
Commercial roofing materials can vary widely. Some commercial buildings have sloped roofs like the average home, while others in dry climates will use a flat roof for a distinct look that may even help save energy. Some common types of commercial roofing include:
- Built-up roofing: Built-up roofing options use layer after layer of gravel, tar, and other materials to create a durable and long-lasting barrier that’s eco-friendly and affordable. This type of roof tends to last and withstand abuse from nearly any type of weather, but repairs can be difficult.
- Membrane roofing: Membrane roofing typically uses a type of plastic membrane to create a waterproof seal over your roof. These types of roofing are affordable and some are even recyclable, but they can wear out quickly in harsh sunlight.
- Green roofing: Green roofing refers to one of a number of different “eco-friendly” materials that can help you reduce your building’s energy consumption. These materials are great for reducing energy consumption and are often fully-recyclable or are manufactured from recycled materials, ensuring your roof has a low environmental impact.
