Roofing Options

In Texas’s hot, often humid climate, metal roofing (steel or aluminum) is a top choice for its high reflectivity, durability, and energy‐saving “cool roof” benefits, while asphalt shingles remain the most budget‐friendly option—often with reflective granules to meet energy codes. In hill country or Spanish-style homes, clay or concrete tile roofs are prized for their longevity and aesthetic appeal, and for flat or low-slope commercial buildings, TPO and modified bitumen membranes provide reliable waterproofing and heat resistance.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material, particularly in the United States. They are used on sloped roofs and are made of a fiberglass or an organic mat base and topped with mineral granules for color and protection. It has a lifespan of 15-20 years depending on the climate conditions.

Clay Roofs

Clay tile roofs are known for their durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal, often associated with Mediterranean and Spanish architectural styles on the Texas landscape. They can last from 50-100 years and are excellent at shedding water and resisting fire.

Metal Roofs

Metal roofing offers exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and sleek, modern style. Made from materials like steel, aluminum, or copper, metal roofs can withstand harsh weather, resist fire, and last 40–70 years. Their reflective surfaces help reduce cooling costs, making them a smart, eco-friendly choice for both residential and commercial buildings.
