COMPOSITION SHINGLES
Composition is far and away the most popular and widely used home roofing material. It typically comes in 20-, 30-, 40-year lives. In addition to many high end 50 year and very distinctive lifetime designs. 20-year shingles are used on most starter homes and have no texture. 30, 40, and 50 year shingles have a dimensional or architectural look with good curb appeal. The lifetime design shingles are considered specialty shingles and recommended as an upgrade to consider.
SLATE ROOFING
Slate is a very expensive and heavy material. In order to install slate roofing, a house must be engineered to support over 1,000 pounds per square. SYNTHETIC SLATE Not as pricey as real slate but also not as heavy. No special bracing is required as most homes can handle the weight.
METAL ROOFING
There are two styles of metal roofing to choose from. Screwdown (using exposed fasteners) is used on most standard homes. The screws have a tendency to “back out” after seven to ten years, requiring normal maintenance. Standing seam (using concealed fasteners) is considered an upgrade and is the more costly of the two.
(MODIFIED) FLAT ROOFING
Modified roofing is made by all shingle manufacturers. It can be installed by many methods including “hot mopped”, “self-adhering” so no heat source is required, etc. Modified roofing is used on most commercial applications as well as patio roofs and in the waterproofing of walk on decks.
