The age old question that any home owner will ask themselves is this, “Do I go with Shingles or Metal on my new roof?” The answer will differ from one person to the next, however the type of roof that is chosen should reflect the goals that you have in place for your home. Some people will look to own their home for short period of time, and others will look to build the home of their dreams. The difference in home ownership should dictate the type of roofing system you install.

The Cadillac of the roofing world is the metal shingles and/or shakes. This material will set your home apart from the rest. With all the benefits of a regular metal sheet roof, plus the cosmetics of a traditional shingle or cedar shake look.
