A beautiful roof can make your living environment more appealing. There is a huge variety of roofing materials and you may need to do a little bit of research to make sure you get the entire details straight and that you have made the best decision possible.

In case you have a flat roof, rolled roofing can be the best choice, for several reasons. It is very affordable, but only lasts for about 10 years.

Asphalt shingles are yet another good idea for your residential roof. They have a long warranty, of 20 to 30 years, and the damaged shingles can be easily replaced. These are just two of the reasons why they tend to be so popular among homeowners.

Standing seam metal roofs are another wonderful option, because they are very long-lasting and weatherproof. Moreover, they are completely recyclable. However, they require special skills and experience. Those who are not fond of the look of standing seams can opt out for metal shingles.

Wood shingles look very nice, but they are quite expensive and not easy to maintain. Clay tiles are also costly, but they last for a century.

There are many more options and details to consider, so you should definitely reach out to R4 Roofing and Exteriors to get a full understanding of all the roofing materials available.
