Although it may seem trivial to some, the roofing material has a large impact on a home, in many ways. Its quality, costs and how it affects the price of the roof installation, but also the impact on the value of the house in the future are some of the factors that matter when we talk about the best residential roofing materials.

A high quality roof that uses the best materials can add serious value to a property. It could take more than 60 years for the owners to replace such a roof. On the other hand, a cheaper roof may require repairs in 5-10 years, and will likely have to be replaced after about 15 years.

In addition, the style of the roof should not be neglected. Each roofing material has its own distinct appearance; some materials are more suitable for traditional houses than modern properties, for example.

But first of all, the best residential roofing material is the one manufactured to withstand the type of climate in the area where the house is located. For example, if you live in a region where storms are common, you will need a windproof roof; if the hail falls frequently, you will need an impact resistant roof; if you live in an area at risk of wildfires, you will need to consider installing a roof that offers the best fire-protection.
