Types of Residential Roofing

Asphalt Roofing

The 3 types of shingles you can purchase are 3 tabs, dimensional, and luxury. ​Impact-resistant shingles are designed with a thicker gauge base mat and are composed of more flexible materials than standard shingles. Their durability rating is established by administering the UL 2218 impact test. Shingles are granted a rating of Class 1, 2, 3, or 4 based on the degree of impact they can withstand without cracking.

Metal Roofing

When considering what roofing material to use for your home, there are so many factors to take into account, such as cost, maintenance, repair, and of course aesthetic appeal. You need to be able to rely on your roof to protect you and your family from the elements for years to come, without spending a large amount of time or money on maintenance and repair. Metal roofing is one of the most durable and visually striking roofing materials on the market today, with a wide variety of options for color and material. Metal roofing options come in standing seam, ribbed or corrugated, or shingles.

Composite Shingles

Depending on your budget, climate, and how long you expect your roof to hold up there are a number of different options available to you. Before beginning any roof replacement it’s important to discuss with your contractor your specific needs so that you remain satisfied with both the look and the durability of the material for years to come. Synthetic composite roofing is one of the best options on the market today for value as well as its toughness. It can mimic traditional materials like slate or cedar, but with modern technology.

Residential Roofing Questions

Signs that you may need a new roof include frequent leaks, missing or damaged shingles/tiles, sagging areas, granule loss in gutters, and an aging roof (15+ years for shingles, 30+ years for tile or metal).

If the damage is localized or minor, repairs may be sufficient. However, if your roof has extensive wear, repeated issues, or is near the end of its lifespan, a full replacement is often the better long-term investment. We provide free inspections to help you decide.

Most residential roof installations take 1-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Weather conditions and material type can also affect the timeline.

The cost of a new roof varies based on material choice and roof size. Here’s a general estimate:

Asphalt Shingles: $5,000 – $12,000
Tile Roofing: $10,000 – $25,000
Foam Roofing (Flat Roofs): $6,000 – $15,000
Metal Roofing: $15,000 – $40,000

These are just ballpark figures—contact us for a custom estimate tailored to your home’s needs.

To extend your roof’s lifespan, follow these maintenance tips:
• Schedule annual inspections to catch early signs of wear.
• Keep gutters clean to prevent water buildup and leaks.
• Remove debris like leaves and branches that can trap moisture.
• Check your roof for loose, cracked, or missing shingles or tiles.
• Ensure proper attic ventilation to reduce heat damage.
• Trim overhanging branches to prevent damage from falling limbs.

You can schedule an inspection by calling us directly or submitting a Contact Form. We offer free inspections with no obligation.

Yes! We always provide a detailed written estimate outlining the scope of work, materials, timeline, and pricing before any work begins.

You will have a dedicated project manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the roofing process. Our team is always available to answer any questions and provide updates on your project.

We use tarps and plywood to shield landscaping, secure tools and materials to prevent accidents, and clean up thoroughly each day. We recommend keeping kids and pets indoors or away from work areas during installation.

Yes! We offer warranties on both materials and labor. The warranty length depends on the roofing material and manufacturer, and we’ll provide all warranty details before starting the project.

Roofing Material Questions

Roofing materials are typically delivered by truck and may be placed on your driveway or directly onto your roof, depending on access and project requirements. We coordinate delivery to minimize disruption to your home.

  • Asphalt Shingles – One of the most common and cost-effective roofing materials, available in 3-tab and architectural styles. They offer durability, ease of installation, and a variety of colors.
  • Tile Roofing – Made from clay, concrete, or sand-cast materials, tile roofs are highly durable, energy-efficient, and long-lasting (40-50+ years), but heavier and require proper structural support.
  • Foam Roofing – A spray-applied polyurethane foam commonly used on flat or low-slope roofs. It provides excellent insulation and waterproofing and is a great option for energy efficiency.
  • Rolled Roofing – A budget-friendly option for low-slope roofs, made of asphalt-based materials in long rolls. It is less durable than other options and is often used for sheds, garages, or temporary roofing solutions.

Underlayment is a protective layer installed between the roof decking and the outer roofing material. It acts as a secondary barrier against water intrusion and helps prevent leaks. For tile roofs it is the most important protective part of the roof that prevents water intrusion. Common types include felt paper, synthetic underlayment, and self-adhering waterproof membranes. We have different underlayments we prefer to use based off the roofing material and the application it is being used for.

Weatherblock is a sealing system used along ridges and hips to prevent wind-driven rain and debris from entering the gaps between tiles. It helps maintain the integrity of the roof in extreme weather conditions.
