Concrete Tile and Asphalt Shingles: Your Top Roofing Options

Hail, snow, strong winds and torrential downpours all put your roofing system to the test. A well-built and properly installed roofing system, however, can withstand Mother Nature’s wrath and protect your home.

While all roofs will eventually need to be replaced, investing in a high-quality roofing material installed by experienced professionals will bolster your home’s defense against the elements and ensure that your new roof lasts for many years.

Today, plenty of roofing options are available to suit a wide range of budgets. Two worthy options are concrete tile and asphalt shingle roofing. Read on as Jack the Roofer, your go-to local residential roofing contractor, explains why you should consider these options for your upgrade.

Concrete Tile Roofing

Tile is one of the most popular residential roofing materials in the U.S. Concrete tile roofs are commonly found on homes that borrow elements from Spanish architecture, including Eclectic, Mission Style and Colonial homes. This roofing material is extremely durable, thanks to the natural superior weight and endurance of concrete tile. Tile roofing has naturally occurring air pockets between the roof sheathing and the tile’s underside that, when properly installed, can minimize ice damming, as well as expansion and contraction.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Investing in asphalt shingle installation is also an excellent choice. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in North America. Small and rectangular in shape, the shingles overlap one another to prevent water intrusion. Asphalt shingles are one of the most affordable roofing options, but are still durable enough to handle any type of weather. They are available in numerous shapes, textures and colors, making them architecturally versatile.

Making a Decision

So, should you choose concrete tile or asphalt shingle roofing?. The answer is: it depends.  The right option for you will rely on your budget, your unique needs and many other factors, including your design preferences.
