Is the roof over your head the right roof for your home?
Before making the investment, find out “weather” you need Asphalt Tiles or Metal Roofing.

Metal roofing is long-lasting, good at keeping a home cool, holds up well in most weather conditions, and is environmentally friendly; its downside is that it costs more upfront to buy materials. Asphalt tiles offer better soundproofing and are initially more affordable, but they do not last as long as metal roofing, especially in extreme weather conditions, and therefore may cost more in repairs over time.

Metal roofing comes in several overall styles, including vertical and standing seam panels, tiles, slates/shakes, and shingles. They can come pre-painted or be painted after installation; any colour is fine, but lighter colours are better at reflecting the sun's heat. One possible downside to metal roofing is that, even when tiles or shingles are mimicked, there is no getting around the fact that the material has a metallic sheen to it. Today, asphalt tiles are cut and coloured in a multitude of ways to mimic other materials and styles. However, like metal roofing, asphalt tiles retain at least some of the look of their material. The most common colours are greys, browns, reds, greens, and blues.
