- Asphalt Roll Roofing

This is the most popular roofing material, and it’s used on about 80 percent of all homes. Composites and usually made from asphalt and fiberglass. This is an affordable roof that will last for 15 to 40 years, but regular maintenance and repair is essential for lasting longer than the minimum. - Built-up Roofing

Premium metal roofing materials include zinc, titanium, stainless steel and copper, and some of these can last up to 100 years. The Standing Seam system is the most popular because concealed fasteners and superior ability to channel water can last 30 to 50 years - depending on the metal and its thickness. Metal shingles can also be used, and they’re 20 percent to 30 percent cheaper. Copper roofs are among the most expensive, but the aesthetic appeal is tremendous. - Concrete and Clay Tiles
These are an excellent choice for more expensive homes with strong structural underpinnings. The tiles are heavy, but they last 50 to 100 years. - Wood Shingles and Shakes
