Depending on your preference, you can use architectural or three-tab shingles. You will pay more for higher-grade shingles because they are thicker and heavier. With proper installation and maintenance, your asphalt shingles can last up to 25 years. You can go for wooden cedar shingles if you are looking for a rustic appearance on your roof. These shingles can serve you up to 50 years if you install and maintain them properly. You will, however, have to incur more than double the expense of installing asphalt shingles. Metal panels are great if you are looking for a durable and weather-resistant roofing alternative. These panels are made of either steel, copper, or aluminum. You can also galvanize or coat them with lead. Metal is the most expensive roofing option. You, therefore, need a top-notch roofer to create a roofing plan that can serve you effectively without being too costly.
