Your roof carries a lot of responsibility. Its job is to protect your home and everything inside. Bad roofing materials can quickly damage the walls, siding, insulation, and wreak havoc on your foundation.
The roofing materials you choose are a major source of insulation that keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Whether your home is a brand-new craftsman or a 100-year-old farmhouse, if you want to protect your home, you must start with choosing the right materials for your roof.
There are two overarching types of roofing: residential and commercial.
Residential Roofing: Drive through your neighborhood you’ll likely see a variety of different roof types, but only if you pay attention. Roofs don’t usually draw a lot of attention.
Most residential roofs appear to be a simple covering of shingles or tiles. However, the components and structure of residential roofing are much more complex than most people think.
Commercial Roofing: Commercial roofing tends to have a low slope or maybe entirely flat. Because a commercial building is typically much larger than a residential roof, the materials and installation methods used are often different.
Within both residential and commercial roofing, there are several roofing materials to choose from. Each roofing material has unique characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.
Asphalt is one of the most commonly used residential roofing materials. Shingles are popular for good reason. they are affordable, easy to install, and can be repaired without replacing the entire roof.
Asphalt Shingle Styles
Pros and Cons
Cost
The low-end cost of an asphalt shingle roof is about $4/square foot. This is with builders-grade shingles, no penetrations or valleys, and a one-story home.
The higher-end costs land about $7 per square foot. This would be for a two-story house, a complex roof, and luxury shingles.
Longevity
If maintained properly, asphalt shingles can last between 20-30 years. However, this is the exception and not necessarily the rule.
Particularly high heat and storm damage often require replacement closer to 10-15 years.
Best For
Asphalt shingles are ideal for cool weather areas because they draw in heat. They are fine for humid and cold regions of the county as long as they are treated with algaecides.
Wood shingles or shakes add a naturally beautiful touch to any roof and last longer than asphalt shingles. However, they are high maintenance and can be a fire hazard.
Different Types of Grains in Wood Shakes and Shingles
Pros and Cons
Cost
The cost can range between $6 and $10 per square foot, mostly depending on the cut and the type of wood.
Longevity
Cedar shingles can last over 30 years, but they must be installed correctly and maintained correctly whenever they are exposed to rain or snow.
Best For
Wood shingles are best used in colder areas that don’t experience a lot of fire danger or humidity in the summer.
Natural slate roofing shingles are made from real rock and stone. They are extremely durable and can last for over 100 years.
Types of slate roofs
Pros and Cons
Cost
Slate is more expensive than other materials, starting at $9 per square foot, ranging up to over $15 per square foot depending on the quality of materials and labor costs.
Longevity
Slate will last a lifetime, even multiple lifetimes. Hard slate will last anywhere from 75 to 200 years, the soft slate will last between 50 to 125 years.
Best For
Sturdy homes. The home has to be built to withstand the weight of slate. Because of its durability, slate can be used anywhere.
Metal roofing materials have recently spiked in popularity throughout residential neighborhoods due to their durability, longevity, and unique style.
Types of Metal Roofing
There are several different types of metal roofing using a variety of metal materials.
Pros and Cons
Cost
Metal ranges in cost between $5 and $14 per square foot for a standing seam metal roof. Aluminum or corrugated would be much less while copper would be much more.
Longevity
Most metal roofing materials will come with a 30-year warranty, but most will actually outlive their warranties and last 50 years or more.
BestFor
A metal roof is great in any climate. They tolerate both hot and cold temperatures and are strong enough to stand up to storms.
Clay tiles are reinforced for strength and durability and have a natural thermal resistance which makes them a strong contender for eco-friendly building materials.
Pros and Cons
Cost
Clay tiles are one of the most expensive, at between $10 to $18 dollars per square foot.
Longevity
Most manufacturers will offer a 30-year warranty on their tile roofing materials. However, most roofs outlive that and can remain durable for up to 60 years or longer.
Best For
Clay tile roofs are particularly suited to homes in hot and humid climates in Spain and the Mediterranean, or just southwestern-style homes.
Concrete tile is manufactured with a unique blend of ingredients that maintains the strength of concrete but keeps the material lightweight and easy to work with.
Pros and Cons
Cost
The cost of concrete roof tiles varies greatly, but you can expect the total cost to be at least $20,000 and may exceed $40,000.
Longevity
Concrete tiles rival clay tile in longevity, lasting at least 50 years. With the right underlayment and quality installation, concrete roofing material may last over 100 years.
Best For
Concrete tiles roofing can be used anywhere, but it is particularly well-suited to warm climates because it doesn’t absorb heat very quickly.
For commercial buildings with low-sloped or flat roofs, roofers often use rolled roofing materials called rubber roof.
Rubber Roofing Applications
Types of Rubber Roofing Material
Pros and Cons
Cost
A rubber roof will start around $5 per square foot and may increase up to $8 per square foot. The overall cost will mostly depend on the type of roofing materials and the size of the roof.
Longevity
When installed correctly, rubber roofing can last between 20-25 years.
Best For
Rubber roofing can perform well in both hot and cold climates as it is very weather-resistant.
Built-up roofing or BUR is one of the oldest systems still in use today. It uses is a combination of bitumen and fabric to create layers of membrane that are both cost-effective and durable.
Types of BUR
Pros and Cons
Cost
The cost of rubber roofing materials may be anywhere from $5 to $8 per square foot. That cost can increase based on the type of materials and installation.
Longevity
If properly installed and maintained, a commercial built-up roof can last 40 years.
Best For
While a BUR roof can be used in any climate, it typically lasts longer in a warmer climate.
This is a thinner material that is fast, convenient, and inexpensive but typically only used for small, low-slope outbuildings like shops and sheds.
Types of Rolled Roofing
Pros and Cons
Cost
The price of rolled roofing is less than $1 per square foot. It is a cheap roofing option for temporary or small-scale applications.
Longevity
Rolled roofing typically only lasts about 10 years or so, which is why it’s not used on large-scale buildings.
Best For
Rolled roofing is best for hot climates, even though it does absorb heat, it does not easily get damaged by UV rays.
Solar shingles are essentially solar panels built designed to look and act like traditional shingles.
Types of Solar Cells
Pros and Cons
Cost
The total installation cost for solar shingles is typically $60,000 – $75,000 but can pay for itself over time in energy costs.
Longevity
Most solar shingles have a lifespan of 25-30 years. Over time they produce less power and will need to be replaced to continue energy savings.
Best For
Typically, solar shingles work best only on south-facing roofs due to the amount of sunshine necessary to recoup costs.
One of the seven wonders of the world is a green roof, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Today’s green roof, or “living roof” is partially or completely covered with vegetation.
Pros and Cons
Cost
The initial costs of green roofs are more expensive, but their long-term maintenance can be drastically lower than other commercial options.
Longevity
A green roof is set up on top of another roofing material. When done correctly, it protects the roofing material and can double the lifespan of the material used underneath.
Best For
Green roofs can be used almost anywhere because they can be customized for any region they are used.
Still, confused as to what roofing materials are best for you? We understand. Sometimes it helps to see the pros and cons of each material side-by-side. This chart shows how each material stacks up against the competition.

There are times when certain roofing materials will provide a distinct benefit you should take advantage of.
For example, if you’re building a cabin in the woods, the fire resistance of metal or stone is hard to beat.
On the other hand, if you are looking for the best bang for your buck, asphalt shingles might be the way to go. Many times, it boils down to getting the best quality materials that fit within your budget.
