Common Types of Shingles
Heres a brief breakdown of four of the most
popular types of residential roofing materials
2
Asphalt Shingles
Reinforced by fiberglass or paper
Relatively inexpensive
Come in a variety of styles and colors
Easy to replace
Generally last about 20 to 30 years
Susceptibility to mildew and moss
3
Metal Shingles
Made of steel, tin, copper, or aluminum, metal
panels
Provide a low-maintenance, lightweight roof that
lasts for 50 years or more
Metal panels are available in an array of colors
and styles
Able to simulate the appearance of other roofing
types
Effective at reflecting heat, making them safe
choices for warmer climates
4
Slate Shingles
Essentially rock plates that are tremendously
durable
Variety of thicknesses can affect the shingles
robustness and other qualities
Slate roofs are expensive in terms of material
and installation cost
High-end benefits come a high-end price tag
Low maintenance and completely fireproof
5
Wood Shingles
Usually manufactured from spruce, cedar, or pine
Cut by a machine, which makes them smooth on both
sides
Rustic, natural appearance, fading to a
weathered, light gray after some time
They require more maintenance than other types of
shingles
Brand-new, replacement shingles will stand out on
an older, weathered roof
