What type of roofing is best for your home? We’ll work with you to identify the type, color and style of roofing that works best for your home and your budget. Here’s a look at your options:
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a great choice for just about any home. It’s durable, easy to install, affordable and come in a variety of colors and styles to compliment any exterior. Asphalt shingles are engineered to offer a variety of benefits, including enhanced resistance to hail damage, natural fire resistance and ability to deflect the sun’s heat and improve your home’s energy efficiency.
There are three main types of asphalt shingles:
- Strip or 3-Tab Shingles. These are the most economical shingles, made from asphalt and fiberglass, with a flat appearance and slate look.
- Dimensional shingles. These are the most commonly used asphalt shingles today. They’re thicker, laminated layers of asphalt fused together for better durability and wind resistance, with a multi-dimensional appearance and improved warranty protection.
- Impact Resistant or Premium shingles. These are the heavyweights of asphalt shingles, offering premium protection from the weather in a variety of attractive looks.
Metal Roofing Systems
A metal roofing system is an investment in the beauty and performance of your home. Metal roofing is beautiful, with a variety of appealing looks and styles, such as wood shake, quarried slate traditional clay tile or the most popular: Standing Seam. It’s also incredibly durable, stronger than shingles and capable of withstanding wind, hail and fire.
Metal roofing is more expensive than asphalt shingle roofs, but the benefits may offset the extra costs. Most metal roofing systems can last decades – 30, 40, 50 years or more – with minimal maintenance and little to no cracking or corroding. A metal roof may lower your homeowner insurance premium. They also offer a reflectivity that cuts down on heating and cooling costs. Metal roofing also increases the value of your home and improves its curb appeal.
If you’re looking to enhance your forever home, a metal roof by SoTex Roofing & Exteriors is the last roof you’ll ever have to install.
