Picking the best roofing material for homes depends on several factors. Your budget matters, but so does how long you plan to stay, what your neighbors have, and how your roof handles weather. There's no single "best" material—just the right fit for your situation.
We've helped homeowners navigate roofing material options for over 25 years in Ohio and 3 years in Michigan. Some prioritize curb appeal. Others want storm-ready roofing materials that handle wind and hail. We'll walk you through the trade-offs so you can decide what works for your home.

Asphalt shingles are made from a fiberglass base coated with asphalt and mineral granules. They're the most popular residential roofing materials in the U.S. because they balance cost, appearance, and performance well.

We install stone-coated metal shingles that replicate the look of traditional roofing but deliver superior durability. These are not the standing seam commercial panels—they're residential profiles designed to look like asphalt or wood shakes while offering the strength of metal as one of the most durable roofing materials available.

"Flat" roofing is actually low-slope roofing—there's a slight pitch for drainage, but not enough for traditional shingles. We use single-ply membrane systems (rubber-like materials) on porches, additions, and low-pitch areas where other types of roofing for houses won't work.

Material choice affects price, but so do roof size, layers to remove, and details like chimneys or skylights. Asphalt is typically the most budget-friendly upfront. Metal costs more initially but often lasts longer. Flat roofing depends on the membrane type and how complex the drainage setup is.
Understanding how different roofing material options compare in cost helps you plan your budget. Our roofing cost calculator gives you a ballpark estimate based on your home's square footage and the types of roofing for houses you're considering. Flexible financing options make it easier to fit the project into your budget without compromising on quality
