Common Roofing Materials, Compared
Asphalt, metal, tile, wood and slate — what each offers and asks of you.
Asphalt shingles are the most common residential choice and suit most budgets and styles.
Metal offers longevity and a crisp architectural profile. Tile and slate are heavy, long-lived, and need a structure that can carry them.
Your climate, roof pitch, and structure matter as much as looks — a local pro can narrow the field.
