Roofing materials
Compare roof systems by slope, style, budget, durability, and maintenance needs.
There is no single best roof for every property. The right system depends on roof pitch, structure, architecture, tree exposure, heat, drainage, budget, and long-term plans.
| Roof Type | Best Fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingles | Most sloped residential roofs | Versatile, cost-effective, broad color selection, strong manufacturer ecosystem. |
| Metal Roofing | Residential, agricultural, commercial, and modern profiles | Durable, clean appearance, strong shed characteristics, detail-sensitive installation. |
| Tile Roofing | Mediterranean, Spanish, and higher-end residential architecture | Long-lasting and distinctive, with underlayment and flashing details doing critical work. |
| Flat / Low-Slope | Commercial, additions, patios, porches, and low-slope sections | Requires correct membrane, seam, penetration, drainage, and ponding-water planning. |
