Roofing Styles by RemodelPro

Your roof can make up a surprisingly large share of what people see when they look at your house, so the material and color you choose have a big effect on curb appeal. They also determine how long the roof lasts, how it handles your climate and how much maintenance it will need.

There is no single best roofing material, only the best fit for your home, your neighborhood and your plans. A family planning to stay for decades might weigh things differently than someone preparing to sell in a few years.

We install all of the materials below and are happy to bring samples to your home. Seeing a color against your own siding, in your own light, makes the decision much easier.

What to weigh when choosing a material

Lifespan

Ranges from about 20 years for basic asphalt to a century or more for natural slate and copper.

Weight

Heavy materials like slate may require a structural check or reinforcement before installation.

Roof pitch

Some materials need a minimum slope to shed water properly, which can narrow your options.

Architectural style

A Victorian, a ranch and a modern farmhouse each look best with different textures and profiles.

Climate

Wind, hail, wildfire risk, snow load and coastal salt all favor some materials over others.

Upfront cost vs. long-term value

A pricier roof that lasts twice as long can cost less per year of service.

A quick lifespan comparison

These are typical ranges under good conditions with proper installation and ventilation. Your climate and maintenance will move the numbers up or down.

  • Asphalt shingles: roughly 20 to 30 years
  • Composite slate and shake: roughly 30 to 50 years
  • Cedar shakes and shingles: roughly 25 to 40 years with care
  • Metal: roughly 40 to 70 years
  • Natural slate: 75 to 150 years or more
  • Copper: often 70 to 100 years or more

Check your HOA and local rules first

Many homeowner associations and historic districts limit roofing materials or colors. Some areas also have fire-rating requirements that affect wood roofing. We can help you review those requirements before you fall in love with a particular look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular roofing material?
Asphalt shingles, by a wide margin. They are affordable, easy to repair, come in many colors and suit most home styles, which is why they are on most homes in our area.
Which roofing material lasts the longest?
Natural slate and copper are the long-distance champions and can last a century or more. Metal is also very long-lived. These materials cost more up front but may never need to be replaced while you own the home.
Can I switch to a heavier roof material?
Possibly. Materials like natural slate are much heavier than asphalt, so we have the roof structure evaluated before recommending a switch. Lighter composite slate is a popular alternative when reinforcement is not practical.
Does roof color matter for energy efficiency?
It can. Lighter colors and products with reflective granules or coatings absorb less heat, which can help in hot, sunny climates. In colder regions, color matters less than insulation and ventilation.
Can I see samples before deciding?
Yes. We bring samples to your estimate and can point you to homes with similar roofs so you can see a full installation in person.
