Sometimes we don’t have a choice in the roofing material we choose for our homes because the HOA dictates a specific type. If you have options for your home, you may be wondering which is the best roofing material for your home’s style and your budget. In Orlando, roofing works very hard. It protects our homes from torrential rains, withstands hurricane strength winds, and keeps our homes cool.

Asphalt Roofing

Asphalt roofing, or asphalt shingles, are the most common roofing material. It can also be the least expensive of the three main Orlando roofing options. New architectural shingles can last for up to about 25 years, look great, and protect your home from the elements. It isn’t the most durable roofing material. You’re more likely to sustain hail and wind damage to your roof with asphalt shingles.

Tile Roofing

Depending on the type of tile, clay or concrete, and the tile style and color blend, the cost of tile roofing can vary greatly. The big drawback of it is that it is almost always more expensive than other common types of Orlando roofing. Tile roofing has many benefits. One is that it lasts for decades. With proper maintenance your tile roofing can last over 50 years, which means you’ll never need another roof replacement. Tile roofing also has great insulative properties. It can help your house stay cooler than asphalt shingles. Concrete tile roofing provides great sound insulation too.

Metal Roofing

With the hurricanes and winds we have in Orlando, metal roofing should be a roofing material you consider for your roof replacement. It is extremely wind resistant, more so than any other roofing material. Today’s metal roofing comes in many styles and colors. No longer do you have to have a standing seam metal roof that is silver in color. Metal roofing can look like barrel tile, flat tile, or the traditional standing seam. It comes in many colors, some of which have great solar reflectivity to help save on your cooling costs. It can be expensive depending upon the style and color you chose.
