Shingle Roofs and Metal Roofs: Which Is Best?

Whether you need a roof replacement or you’re building a home and require a roof installation, you’ll want a quality roof that will stand the test of time. However, you may face a dilemma as you choose which roofing material is best for your home. The easiest choice you will make on the matter is to let Basic Roofing put a new roof over your head, whichever type of roof that may be. In this article, we’ll go over some benefits of shingle roofs and metal roofs while you decide which type would best suit your replacement or installation needs.

Asphalt Dimensional Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingle roofs are the most popular roofing choice in the country, and it's easy to see why. Not only are they durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they are easy to replace if a few of them are damaged in a storm. The dimensional asphalt shingles we use make your roof look more finished and come in a range of colors to coordinate with your home. Shingle roofs are an affordable option for your new roof. 

Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Metal roofs are even more durable and long-lasting, with a lifespan exceeding well beyond 50 years in many cases. They are also energy-efficient, require very little maintenance, and have raised seams to keep water out. The main drawback of metal roofing is the higher price tag that accompanies it. If you want a roof with a longer lifespan, then metal roofing may be an investment that is worthwhile to you.
