WHICH ROOF MATERIAL IS RIGHT FOR ME?
The following list describes the various roofing options and a cost estimate from the least to the most expensive.
Asphalt is perhaps the most common roofing material and is often the least expensive of all the roofing types. There are two forms of asphalt roofing: standard and laminated. While similar, the laminated asphalt tiles cost more due to their more textured look.
STANDARD
Life: 15-25 years
Cost: $50-$150 per square
Laminate
Life: 25-40 years
Cost: $100-$400 per square
OTHER ROOFING MATERIALS
Clay Tile
