Composition Roofing

If you’re seeking higher durability, composition roofing shingles can deliver high performance to last in more inclement weather. Providing durable, dependable, and affordable protection while looking great— the material is a solid choice for many homeowners. Composition shingles, commonly known as asphalt shingles, come in two categories:

• Organic- Manufactured from cellulose fiber made from recycled paper and wood fibers. This base is saturated with asphalt and given a mineral coating on one side to resist weathering.
• Fiberglass- Instead of an organic core, these shingles have a fiberglass core, which is more flexible and stronger. It is also saturated with asphalt and has a mineral coating.

All composition tables are available in a variety of colors and are rated by overall life expectancy. Across composition roofing shingles, the life expectancy is between 30-50 years.

Metal Roofing

Available in various styles and colors, metal roofing provides the most durability on the market. A versatile roofing material, it is a popular alternative to roofing materials as it is lightweight, hardy, and can be crafted to give a variety of looks. Coming in either shingles or panels, these roofs have a life expectancy of around 30 years.

However, due to the material, metal roofing does have a higher cost than some other roofing materials. That said, they require little maintenance and have an excellent fire rating. You can learn more and see some of the metal roofing Landmark Roofing and Siding has installed on the Metal Roofing page.
