Asphalt Shingle Roof
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material used on residential homes across the United States & Canada.

Asphalt shingles also come in variety of color and style options making them an attractive option for the most discerning homeowners
Asphalt shingle roofs are among the most affordable options available when it comes to roof replacement. In fact, new asphalt shingles can even be installed over older shingles if the roof deck, the structural surface underneath the roofing system, is in good shape. This eliminates the need (and expense) for tearing off the old roofing. Ask your contractor if this is a feasible option for your roofing project to save money.

Metal Roof
Metals like aluminum, copper, steel, tin, and zinc are used to make metal roofing. They can be found as tile, slate, or corrugated metal roofs. Due to its longer life span, sturdiness, low maintenance requirements, and excellent return on investment, having a metal sheet installed on the roof can be advantageous if you’re looking to make a long-term investment. Depending on the type of metal used, it is a one-time investment that can last 50 to 80 years or longer.

Slate Roof
The most environmentally friendly, long-lasting, and attractive roofing material is natural stone, or slate. Slate is unfortunately uncommon on commonplace homes due to its high cost and weight issues. Slate roofs are most frequently found on churches, libraries, and public and academic buildings.
Slate roof tiles provide a completely fireproof option for your roof and won’t become saturated with water. A slate roof can last up to 150 years or more because it is made of stone, which is resistant to weather, sun, heat, and cold.
On the other hand, the most common type of roof on American homes, asphalt shingles, only lasts 15 to 30 years. However, it is significantly less expensive than a premium slate tile roof.
How much does a slate roof cost?
The cost of a slate roof will depend on the size of your roof and the kind of slate tiles you select. Slate roofing for a home typically costs $6.75 to $12.80 per square foot. However, depending on where you live, the overall cost of replacing your roof can change.
This particular roof installation needs to be done with the utmost skill and care because slate is a heavy material. Your labor costs for installing a slate roof will probably range from $150 to $250 per roofing square. The price may increase if your current roof needs to be removed or if your roof structure is complicated.
You might pay $100 or more per roofing square for additional supplies like drip edging, underlayment, and specialized tools. The lifespan of slate tiles can be increased by properly installing them. Ask each contractor specifically about their experience with slate roofing when you call them so that you can be sure they have the necessary experience.

Clay Roof
Homes in hot climates frequently choose clay roof tiles. Clay tile roofing can go with almost any style, but it is most frequently found on Florida or California roofs. A striking, beautiful architectural juxtaposition can be created by combining one of the most conventional building materials with more contemporary ones, such as glass, metal roofing, or wood roofing, to really make your home design stand out. Furthermore, clay tiles retain their rich, warm earth tones for at least 100 years because they are made entirely of natural materials.
Additionally, clay tiles are class-A fire rated and do not burn. Since clay roofs are thought to be an energy-efficient roof type, they are simple to maintain and you may be able to find a state or federal tax credit for their installation.
How much does a clay roof cost?
The average price to install a clay tile roof will range anywhere from $23,000 to $43,000, depending on the size, slope, and pitch of your roof.

Solar Roof
Solar shingles are a relatively new invention that mimic the appearance of standard asphalt roof shingles. They safeguard your roof, possess the same resilience and adaptability as standard shingles, and use solar energy from the sun to power your house. Depending on the solar shingle brand, each solar shingle will generate between 13 and 63 watts of energy. Like regular shingles, solar shingles are lightweight and simple to install and are made to withstand rain, wind, and hail. They could be a great option for your home’s roof in terms of energy efficiency.
Here are a few benefits and drawbacks to think about if you were trying to decide between installing solar shingles or installing conventional solar panels on your roof. Solar shingles have several advantages over bulky solar panels, including being more aesthetically pleasing, being more cost-effective (if you need to replace your roof anyway – 10% to 15% more cost-effective per watt of solar energy), and being movable.
The drawbacks of solar shingles are that they occasionally perform less efficiently than conventional solar panels, you need a specific roof slope with high sunlight exposure, their lifespan is shorter, and many solar installers do not yet offer solar shingles because of their relatively newfound popularity. Comparing the price of solar installation to the energy produced per watt by conventional solar panels, the former is also more efficient.
How much does a solar roof cost?
Depending on your roof’s slope, pitch, and size, installing a solar shingle roof typically costs between $60,000 and $75,000 in total. A typical sized single story home will cost between $21 and $25 per square foot, or between $2,100 and $2,500 per square installed. The price of the local solar roof contractor will affect costs.

Stone Coated Steel Roof
A stone-coated steel roof might make sense for your house if you want a roofing system that offers the traditional beauty of slate, clay tiles, or fashionable shingles without the premium price. You can have a lovely, long-lasting roofing system that will provide superior protection for your home without any of the structural drawbacks of other roofing materials for a mere fraction of the price of slate or clay tiles.
A stone-coated steel roof offers superior durability compared to other roofing materials because it won’t bend, curl, split, crack, warp, or absorb water. The roof’s interlocking structure makes it resistant to wind uplift, freezing and thawing cycles, snowfall, and heavy rain.
How much does a stone-coated steel roof cost?
Installing a stone-coated metal roof on a residential property typically costs on average between $9.50 and $16.50 per square foot. — The total installed cost consists of all materials, labor, permits, and warranties.
