Exploring Roofing Material Choices for Your Property

Asphalt Shingles (3-tab & Dimensional)

A popular choice for many American homes, asphalt shingles are appreciated for their affordability, easy installation, and resilience. These shingles are available in a diverse palette of colors and various longevity grades and are cost-effective. Bill Shields Roofing recommends Owens Corning Shingles for their superior quality.

Estimated Lifespan: 15-30 years.

Flat Roof Options (Built-Up Roof, Modified Bitumen, Roll Roofing)

Flat roofs are coated with materials like gravel for additional protection. Built-up roofs have multiple layers, while modified bitumen roofs use layers of polyester or fiberglass with bitumen for added strength. Roll roofing, a more economical option, is similar to asphalt shingles but has a shorter lifespan.

Estimated Lifespan: 10-15 years.

Clay & Concrete Tiles

These tiles, especially clay, are heavier and may require additional structural support. They are non-combustible and extremely durable. Clay tiles, available in lighter shades, meet cool roof standards by reflecting a significant portion of solar energy. Concrete tiles, coming in various colors, shapes, and textures, add elegance and value to your property.

Estimated Lifespan: Over 50 years.

Metal Roofing (Steel, Aluminum, & Copper)

Metal roofs, known for their coolness and modern style, are made from materials like copper, aluminum, and stainless steel, often containing a high percentage of recycled content. They provide excellent insulation and solar reflection and are incredibly durable.

Estimated Lifespan: 40-50 years or more.

Slate Roofing

Known for its distinctive and elegant appearance, slate roofing is durable and environmentally friendly. While heavy, it's a long-lasting option but may not be suitable for high-heat areas due to its darker color.

Estimated Lifespan: 50-100 years.
Approximate Cost: $550 - $1000+ per square (100 square feet).

Wood Shingles & Shakes

Offering a natural aesthetic, wood shingles and shakes are available in materials like cedar, redwood, and southern pine, with cedar being the premium choice. Machine-cut wood shingles provide a smoother finish, whereas handcrafted wood shakes give a more rustic appearance.

Estimated Lifespan: 30-50 years.
