Major Types of Roofing Materials to Consider

There are all kinds of roofing materials that can be used to give you the perfect look for your home or commercial property. The type of roof that you use on your property matters more than you think. It can provide an amazing "finishing touch" to the look of your property while also providing protection from the elements. Your roofing materials can also go a long way to adding extra energy efficiency as well. Some of the most common roofing materials include:

Asphalt Shingles
These are the most commonly used roofing materials, especially on residential property. They are cost-efficient and come in a variety of colors, quality and textural designs. A well-installed asphalt roof may last approximately 20 years or so, with occasional repair required. 

Wood Tile
Wood tiles are another commonly used roofing material. They have a tendency to require a little more maintenance to keep them looking good. The wood tile roof will cost a little more than the asphalt shingles, but it will also last much longer when properly installed and maintained. You can get 50 or more years out of a wood tile roof and they look amazing. 

Clay Tile
One of the most expensive options in roofing is also one of the best looking options. A clay tile roof provides a beautiful appearance and amazing protection. When properly installed the clay tile roof will last for well over 100 years!

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is very popular on commercial and industrial properties, but has also become extremely popular on homes as well. While the price has come down, it is still somewhat more expensive than the least expensive asphalt shingle. A metal roof will last 50 years or more and can be a great solution for energy efficiency and durability.
