Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are one of the most common roofing materials we install. They are made from a base of fiberglass or organic felt, coated with asphalt, and topped with ceramic granules. These shingles are popular because they are affordable and easy to repair. They come in many colors and styles, allowing homeowners to match their roof with their home's look.

They generally last about 20 to 30 years and perform well in various climates. Asphalt shingles also offer good fire resistance and can handle moderate wind speeds.

Clay and Concrete Tiles

Clay and concrete tiles are heavier roofing options that provide strong protection and a classic look. We install these mainly for homes seeking a Mediterranean or Spanish style. These tiles are very durable, often lasting 50 years or more with proper care. They resist fire, wind, and rotting, making them a solid long-term choice.

Because of their weight, homes need to have strong roof framing to support them. Installation usually costs more than asphalt shingles, but they offer low maintenance.

Metal Roofing Options

We offer metal roofing in materials like steel, aluminum, and copper. Metal roofs are known for their longevity, often lasting 40 to 70 years. Metal is lightweight, fire-resistant, and can reflect heat, helping with energy efficiency. It works well in areas with heavy rain or snow.

Metal roofs are available in panels and shingles, and come in many colors and finishes. They require little upkeep but can be louder during rain if not properly insulated.

Eco-Friendly Roofing Materials

Our eco-friendly roofing options include recycled shingles, cool roofs, and green roofs with plants. These materials help reduce energy costs and environmental impact. Cool roofs reflect sunlight, which lowers indoor temperatures and saves on cooling bills. Recycled shingles use materials like rubber or plastic, reducing waste.

Green roofs provide natural insulation and manage rainwater. They need special structure and maintenance but offer benefits like improved air quality and stormwater control.
