Compare Roofing Materials

Start with the look you love, then compare the complete roof. Asphalt, steel and cedar differ in appearance, installation details and upkeep. The best fit depends on your roof, budget and how you plan to care for your home.

Put every proposal on the same footing

 

Compare tear-off and disposal, decking allowances, flashing replacement, ventilation, permits, cleanup and workmanship coverage. Ask what is included, optional or priced only if hidden damage is found. A warranty term is not an expected service-life guarantee. No roof covering alone corrects attic heat loss or ice dams.

Adding daylight?

 

VELUX skylights are a separate choice, not a fourth roof covering. Compare fixed or opening units, glass, shades, controls, compatible flashing and interior finishing. Coordinating skylight work with roofing can simplify the scope.
