Types of Residential Roofing for Houston Homes
A residential metal roof will require little maintenance, is extremely attractive, and energy-efficient. Assorted designs and colors are available, leaving your home highly weather-resistant and allowing your heating and cooling system to function more efficiently, while shedding rain, hail, snow and ice.
An affordable and popular roofing material, these tiles range from custom architectural designs to very reasonably priced styles. While not as long-lasting as some materials, asphalt tiles have a lifespan in the range of 20 to 25 years unless damaged by weather.
One of the more attractive options, composite roofing materials can appear to be wood or slate, but are lighter and more durable, as well as fire-resistant.
Concrete Tile Roofing
Exceptionally durable, weather-resistant and attractive, concrete tiles are manufactured to mimic the appearance of natural slate. The tiles are heavier and may require reinforcing the under-structure of the roof.
For the maximum longevity, a ceramic tile roof can last for 50 years or longer, are able to withstand the Houston weather, high winds, and can reduce energy costs. The tiles are heavier than other materials but reduce energy costs.
