How to Choose the Right Roofing Material for Your Home

Roof replacement is a big project that requires you to make a lot of decisions. One of the most important decisions you’ll need to make is your choice of roofing material. This may feel overwhelming at first, but Brewster Roofing LLC is here to help you narrow down your choices.

Asphalt

Asphalt is the most commonly used roofing material due to its affordability and ease of installation. If you’re looking for a solid roofing material that won’t break the bank, you can’t go wrong with asphalt shingles. The material is also aesthetically versatile, environmentally friendly and weather resistant.

Metal

In terms of longevity, metal roofing is one of the best choices for your home, boasting a lifespan of 50 years or more if properly maintained. In addition, metal roofing is one of the most energy-efficient options available. Metal roofs can reflect solar heat, helping reduce your energy bills.

Slate

At the upper end of the roofing echelon is slate. With proper care, a quality slate roofing system can last anywhere from 75 to 100 years. Slate roofs are also extremely fire resistant, and can they provide a timeless charm that is unparalleled by anything else.

Tile Roofing

Another high-end choice, tile roofs are beautiful, as well as highly resistant to rot and insect damage. They’re also extremely energy-efficient. On the downside, they’re quite heavy and your home may need structural modifications to support the installation of a tile roof.
