Asphalt shingles, in architectural or 3 tab style, are the most commonly used roof material. Pictured above is a heavy triple laminate asphalt shingle that provides for prolonged life and durability.
Corrugated metal allows ice and snow to melt and move quickly off the roof. It's not easily damaged by the wind and can sometimes be installed over existing shingles.
Slate tiles can come from real stone or synthetic slate, depending on your budget. The beautiful charcoal look is perfect for modern homes looking for old-era feel.
