What Is the Best Material to Use for Your Roof?

August 22, 2022/in Residential Roofing Services /by Garron Lytton

When you’re ready to replace your roof, choosing the right material is a major decision. It’s easy to lean toward inexpensive options when you’re financing a new roof, but taking a long-term view can help you get the most bang for your buck over the lifetime of your home.

If your budget allows, we recommend investing in a roof that lasts for as long as you own the house. After all, a cheap roof isn’t a bargain if you’ll need to replace it in a few years. With that in mind, here are the best roofing materials for your roof replacement.

#1 – GAF Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most commonly used roofing material in the United States—and it’s easy to see why. Asphalt shingles aren’t just beautiful and durable, but they’re also an affordable option for many homeowners.

At Premiere Roofing & Gutters, we’re proud to offer GAF asphalt roofing. GAF asphalt shingles offer a superior lifespan, unrivaled durability, and eye-catching curb appeal. We offer GAF roofing in 16 tones and shades so that you can choose the best option for your home.

GAF roofing comes with a 50-year lifetime warranty to protect your investment, along with easy installation and exceptional customer service. Plus, if you’re thinking about selling your home, GAF asphalt shingles can boost your resale value by up to 10 percent. Overall, we recommend the GAF roofing system as the best option for residential roof replacement.

#2 – Cedar Shake Roofing

When it comes to curb appeal, cedar shake shingles are one of the best choices. Unfortunately, cedar shake is also fragile, costly, and vulnerable to damage. Over time, cedar shake can lose its color, crack, and curl, especially in the North Carolina climate.

If you’re looking for the beauty of cedar shake without the upfront investment or durability issues, synthetic shake is the answer. At Premiere, we offer synthetic shake shingles as an affordable alternative to cedar shake roofing.

Unlike natural cedar, synthetic shake roofing lasts for decades while resisting pests and sun damage. Our composite shake shingles are approved by building codes across the country, and they may even qualify you for home insurance discounts.

#3 – Metal Roofing

Although asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material, metal roofing offers amazing benefits for homeowners in North Carolina. There are two types of metal roofing:

  • Ribbed: Ribbed roofing consists of heavy-gauge steel panels held in place by external screws and topped with rubber or silicone washers.
  • Standing seam: Standing seam roofing consists of large, flat panels with seamed edges. Unlike ribbed roofing, it’s held in place with fasteners, not external screws.

Compared to other materials, metal roofing offers unrivaled durability. While traditional shingle roofs can last about 25 years, metal roofing typically lasts between 40 and 70 years. Meanwhile, roofing made from zinc or copper can last up to 100 years.

Metal roofing requires more of an upfront investment than shingle roofing. But for many homeowners, it’s well worth the cost. Over time, metal roofing can pay for itself thanks to its ability to withstand storm damage, boost your home’s value, and increase energy efficiency in your home.
