Here we have the most common roofing materials in the US. -

Solar Tiles

Slate

Slate roofs come in many different shapes, pigments, and textures to give a unique look to every home. Also, slate roofs can last up to 100 years with proper installation and care.

# Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt is the most popular roofing material across the nation due to their low cost, effectiveness, and high resistance in all environmental conditions.

Clay Tiles

Clay is a long-lasting material that can resist rain, wind, and even fire. While it can be a heavy and expensive building material, it has a life expectancy of 60 years or more.

# Metal

This strong material can resist heavy rain, winds, and even snow for more than 40 years. Metal roofs can boost your home's appeal and pair well with every other color and design.
