Great Alternatives to Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Although asphalt roofing remains the most popular choice for many homeowners, people are increasingly looking into alternative options. At Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, we offer a range of viable roofing materials in addition to asphalt shingles. More on them below.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofing is seeing a surge in popularity, specifically for homeowners seeking to establish a more modern aesthetic for their property. Flat roofs are characterized by having a minimal or complete lack of slope. Technically, flat roofing is just the membrane used to cover up the bitumen, but this is a stronger kind of roofing membrane built to withstand elemental damage, providing about the same level of protection as asphalt shingles.

Metal Roofing

Widely regarded as a direct upgrade from asphalt shingles, metal roofing boasts superior physical durability and elemental resistance. It’s also extremely low maintenance and requires only basic upkeep.

Metal roofs are also relatively easy to install because they’re surprisingly lightweight. In addition, metal roofing naturally reflects radiant heat from the sun, making it extremely energy efficient. In terms of aesthetics, it is available in an extended color palette, allowing you to customize your metal roof to your heart’s desire.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing is the cream of the crop when it comes to classic roofs. Both clay and concrete tile are the longest-lasting roofs available, with many lasting well beyond a hundred years. Tile roofs, because of their toughness, can maintain their rich color for decades and require minimal maintenance.
