Roof Types

A roof does so much more than keep you and your possessions dry. It also adds beauty to your home and provides impact resistance and protection against fires.

When it comes to choosing what type of roofing system is right for your needs, it is a much more involved choice than you might expect. Some roofs have a lifespan of 10-15 years, while others can last for a century or more. Likewise, some types are better suited for certain climates; of course, they each bring a different aesthetic style.

Fortunately, whatever roofing option you land on, you can count on RPB Roofing to provide the style that best suits your needs. Having been in the roofing business for over two decades, our Dallas roofers have all the experience and resources necessary to provide you with the best roofing services possible for your home!

Types of Roofing

There are a variety of roofing options available today, and they all have their own sets of draws and drawbacks. Understanding these options and their features is vital when picking the best roofing option during a roof replacement.

Take a look at the most common types below.

Asphalt Roofing

The most common roofing material in the United States is asphalt. Asphalt shingles are an all-around good option for their affordability and longevity. Generally, these lightweight and durable materials can last between 20 and 30 years – but some premium brands can last upwards of 50 years.

Asphalt shingles can upgrade a home or business’s curb appeal, help lower energy costs and protect your space from the elements. They come in various styles – including the economical 3-tab shingles and eye-popping architectural shingles – so you can be sure to get the perfect look for your home with this roofing option!

3-Tab Asphalt Shingles

The most common asphalt shingles feature three tabs along their lower edges. These 3-tab shingles have quite a bit of visual appeal, creating an illusion that each shingle looks like three pieces once installed. These are generally the most affordable types of shingles, and depending on the brand you choose, they can last between 20 and 30 years with normal wear and tear.

Fiberglass Asphalt Shingles

Fiberglass asphalt shingles are extremely durable, often lasting for 50 years or more. Generally, the most inexpensive fiberglass shingles have shorter lifespans than those that cost more initially, but many people find that investing in higher-end materials results in savings over time. These shingles are available in a wide range of colors and styles, making them easy to customize to your home or business.

Architectural-Style Asphalt Shingles

Architectural-style asphalt shingles are high-end imitations of other materials. These shingles can be designed to resemble slate, cedar or clay, but they’re available at a fraction of the cost. Typically, architectural-style asphalt shingles last longer than standard asphalt shingles; it’s not uncommon for these roofing materials to last between 30 and 50 years. Fire-, wind-, mold- and algae-resistant, architectural-style asphalt shingles come in a wide range of styles and designs to complement your home or business.

FLAT ROOFS

Flat roofs don’t offer much for aesthetics, but they are a great option for anyone seeking a quality roof on a budget. With its flat design, a flat roof will also allow you to enjoy every foot of space in your space!

Rubber roofing materials are often used for flat roofs such as EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen torch down roofing. These energy-efficient roofing materials can be a fantastic investment for your home or business.

METAL ROOFING

While not the most economical roofing option available, a metal roof is certainly one of the most striking. But metal roofs can offer more than just great aesthetics: They are also one of the longest-lasting and most impact- and fire-resistant roofing options out there, making them an excellent option if you’re looking for a practical roof!

Metal roofs can be made from aluminum, steel, copper or other materials. No matter which you choose, it will be a sturdy and reliable option. Because metal is lightweight and energy efficient, it can help increase a home’s value. Sometimes, metal roofs are coated with a stone granular coating to resemble clay, painted, or otherwise designed, which means they’re available in a wide range of styles to match your home or business.

OTHER ROOFING MATERIALS

For homeowners and business owners looking for something a little out of the ordinary, there are many other roofing materials available. You can use heavy wood shakes to create an old-fashioned country look on a home or a Spanish-style building with clay shingles. Slate tiles or concrete tiles can also add beauty and be long-lasting.
