Asphalt Shingles
Today’s most popular roofing materials is undoubtedly asphalt shingles. They strike the perfect balance between affordability, longevity and aesthetics and can complement any architectural style with a sloped roof. Homes featuring traditional architecture with “square” floor plans, such as Colonial Revival or Federal architecture, look great with three-tab asphalt shingles. If your home is built in a more ornate style like Victorian, Craftsman, or Gothic Revival that traditionally features wood shakes, dimensional shingles like the GAF Timberline® shingles are ideal.
Metal Roofing Materials
Metal is an extremely versatile roofing material. If you’re thinking about the now-typical standing-seam metal roof design, you should know that metal roofs are available in several styles that mimic traditional ones, including tile and slate. We recommend stone-coated metal shingles if you want to retain a traditional look while taking advantage of the benefits of metal roofing.
Tile
Tile roofs a defining feature of Mediterranean- or Spanish-style architecture. The warm red hues complement stucco siding and wrought metal windows. Homes with sprawling floor plans and gentle-sloped roofs, such as Ranch-style homes, can seamlessly transition to tile roofs. In addition to traditional clay tiles, we also offer concrete tiles as a more affordable yet equally strong option.
Flat Roofs
Flat and low-slope roofs are a staple of contemporary architecture. There are several options for flat roofing depending on how you intend to use your roof: traditional built-up roofing (also known as “gravel roofs”) and modified bitumen roofs, ideal if you expect high foot traffic on your roof. Single-ply systems like EPDM and TPO are seamless solutions for thin roofs and are more energy-efficient thanks to their outer layers that can reflect sunlight, reducing the amount of heat absorbed through the roof.
