Installing a new roof can be one of the most expensive investments that you can take on. If you want to make sure that you can enjoy a safer home, you will need to ensure that you are investing in the most substantial improvements for your future. Here are some of the best types of roofing materials that you can use today that will last the longest:
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing types in the USA. They are quite inexpensive to install and they have a lifespan of approximately 15-40 years. Choosing asphalt shingles can be a great start for your home but they have a short lifespan in warm climate conditions.
Wood Shingles
Wood shingles are becoming a popular choice for their sustainability. Most wood shingles last upwards of 25-30 years. They can be a bit more expensive to install, but they can produce a beautiful look for your home and keep it at its best.
Metal Roof
A metal roofing material has an expected lifespan that can vary significantly. Many metal roofing materials can fall under this category including steel, tin, and aluminum roofing. There are plenty of materials to choose from here, but steel roofing is the least expensive with copper roofs being the most expensive option. Copper roofs can last upwards of 70 years whereas tin and sheet metal last for 30-40 years.
Clay Or Cement Tile
Choosing clay or cement tiles could give you a roofing material that will last upwards of $100 years. Concrete tiles are an affordable choice but they may require upgrades to your roofing structure before they can be installed.
Consider any of these top roofing materials for installation on your roof today.
