Asphalt Shingles

Appearance: Classic granular finish in a wide colour range.
Typical applications: Most pitched residential roofs; the standard replacement choice.
Maintenance: Periodic checks for lifted or missing shingles and moss growth.
Trade-offs: Versatile and widely available; surface granules wear gradually with age and weather.

Architectural Shingles

Appearance: Layered, dimensional profile with deeper shadow lines.
Typical applications: Homes wanting a more substantial, premium roof appearance.
Maintenance: Similar to asphalt shingles, with attention to valleys and ridge lines.
Trade-offs: Heavier and thicker than basic shingles; cost and performance vary by product line.

Standing seam metal roof on a modern home

Metal Roofing

Appearance: Clean standing seams or panels in matte and metallic finishes.
Typical applications: Modern homes, commercial buildings and low-slope sections.
Maintenance: Check fasteners, seams and coatings periodically.
Trade-offs: Distinctive look and robust surface; noise, cost and repairability depend on the system chosen.

Tile Roofing

Appearance: Curved or flat clay/concrete profiles with strong character.
Typical applications: Homes designed for tile weight and Mediterranean or classic styling.
Maintenance: Replace cracked tiles promptly; keep valleys clear.
Trade-offs: Heavy — the structure must be assessed first; individual tiles can crack under impact or foot traffic.

Slate Roofing

Appearance: Natural stone finish with varied tone and texture.
Typical applications: Premium and historic-style homes with suitable structure.
Maintenance: Specialist inspection; replace slipped or cracked slates.
Trade-offs: Heavy and specialist-installed; repair requires matching natural material.

Flat roofing system on a commercial building

Flat & Low-Slope Systems

Appearance: Smooth membrane surfaces with detailed edge and seam work.
Typical applications: Commercial roofs, extensions and modern flat-roof homes.
Maintenance: Keep drains clear; inspect seams and ponding areas regularly.
Trade-offs: Drainage design is critical; performance depends on detailing and upkeep.
