Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material in North America, especially for pitched residential roofs. They’re composed of a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and topped with ceramic granules for UV protection and aesthetics.
Affordability One of the most cost-effective roofing options, both in material and installation.
Ease of Installation Lightweight and simple to install—ideal for fast-paced residential projects or storm damage replacements.
Versatility in Design Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and profiles—including options that mimic slate, wood shake, or tile.
Durability Lifespan ranges from 15 to 30+ years depending on type and climate. Impact-resistant and algae-resistant options available.
Low Maintenance Easy to repair or replace individual shingles. Minimal upkeep compared to other pitched roofing systems.
Metal roofing refers to a range of roofing systems made from metal panels or shingles, commonly used in both residential and commercial applications. Known for its longevity, strength, and energy efficiency, metal roofing is increasingly popular for retrofit and new construction projects.
Exceptional Longevity Most metal roofs last 40–70 years, and premium materials like copper or zinc can exceed 100+ years.
Durability Resistant to hail, wind, fire, rot, and insects. Ideal for harsh climates and high-exposure buildings.
Energy Efficiency Reflects solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%. Many systems meet Energy Star standards.
Low Maintenance Requires minimal upkeep compared to asphalt or wood. Occasional inspections and fastener checks are usually sufficient.
Sustainability Often made from recycled materials and fully recyclable at end-of-life. Great for LEED and green building certifications.
