Shingle Options for Your Next Roof Replacement

Get the Right Roofing Materials for Your Home

Take a look around your neighborhood. If you live in a typical community, the homes look different. While most homes in the U.S. have asphalt shingles installed on the roof, often there will be a home or two in the neighborhood that has a different material – perhaps metal or clay tiles.

When it’s time to replace a roof, most homeowners simply choose what was previously on it. But that doesn’t have to be the case. You have many different shingle options for your roof replacement project! ATD Restoration can direct you to the right one to complement your home’s architectural style and your budget.

Popular Shingle Options

There are many different types of roofing shingles on the market. Here are some of the most popular materials that you can install on your home.

• Asphalt shingles are available as architectural (dimensional) and three-tab designs. These shingles usually last from 15 to 20 years.
• Metal roofing is one of the strongest and most durable roofing materials on the market, lasting 50 years or more when installed and maintained properly.
• Wood shakes and shingles require more maintenance than many other roofing types, but they add a unique rustic feel to homes. The average lifespan is 30 to 40 years.
• Clay and concrete tiles may require some additional support prior to being installed on your home. Concrete tiles can last about 50 years while clay tiles can last at least 100 years.
