ROOFING MATERIALS & TYPES


Certainteed Shingles

3-Tab and Architectural style shingles are the most commonly used roofing material in North America mainly because they are economical and versatile, work well on steep-sloped roofs, are sunlight and weather resistant, require little-to-no maintenance and are reasonably priced. In addition, asphalt shingles are also easy to cut, fasten, and fit, as well as being compatible with many different kinds of flashing and edging products. While there are several types of asphalt shingles, at Walker Brown Roofing, we generally recommend architectural shingles because they are reasonably priced and offer great durability along with an extended warranty.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofs have become enormously popular, and are especially suiting for homes located on lakes and mountain settings due to its longevity. Metal roofs are durable, fire-resistant, and provide excellent strength to weight ratio which is why they are often used for very large buildings, stadiums, and other commercial structures. New metal roofing materials offer a stylish assortment of color and designs.

Tile & Slate Roofing 

A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass. Tile is a great roofing material for many reasons: it is strong, durable, and waterproof meaning that it isn’t vulnerable to rot as other shingles can be. Tile also offers great fire protection and comes in many shapes and colors for the artistically minded buyer. Tile and slate provide an aesthetic appeal difficult to match.

Flat Roofs (TPO & HydroStop)

TPO and HydroStop are great solutions for those difficult low slope or even flat areas. These single-ply roofing systems can be installed relatively easy over large or small areas. Flat roofs are increasingly common for commercial buildings, apartments, sunrooms, garages, porches, and even single-family homes. We can essentially paint on your roof with a rubber-like compound and is great for rooftop decks.
