Metal Roofing: That One You Can Count On
Tile Roofing: Traditional, Tough—and Heavy
SPF (Spray Foam) Roofing: Built-In Insulation for Flat Roofs
Asphalt Shingles: Affordable, But Work as They Age
Want to Enhance What You Already Have?
- Cool coatings —a light, reflective paint applied to asphalt, tile, or foam roofs that helps reflect heat and reduce indoor temperature.
- Radiant barriers —thin foil guards installed under attic decking that block heat transfer, improving comfort & efficiency.
How They Compare at a Glance
| Material | Pros | Cons |
| Metal | Reflects sun, lasts decades, low maintenance | More expensive initially |
| Tile | Traditional look, great heat resistance | Heavy, higher upfront & structural costs |
| SPF Foam | Seamless insulation, great for flat roofs | Requires recoating periodically |
| Asphalt | Budget-friendly, easy repairs | Less durable and heat-efficient |
