Cost-Effective

Asphalt shingles are generally the most affordable roofing material, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners.

Wide Variety of Styles and Colors

Asphalt shingles come in a wide array of styles, colors, and textures, allowing you to customize the look of your roof to match your home's architectural style.

Easy Installation

Asphalt shingles are relatively straightforward to install, which can contribute to lower labor costs.

Shorter Lifespan

Asphalt shingles have a shorter lifespan compared to metal roofs, typically lasting 15-30 years, depending on quality and maintenance.

Susceptible to Damage

Asphalt shingles can be prone to damage from high winds, hail, and extreme temperatures.

Energy Efficiency

Asphalt shingles offer less energy efficiency than metal roofs which potentially lead to higher cooling costs in the hot Texas summers.

Exceptional Durability

Metal roofs are known for their exceptional durability and longevity, often lasting 40-70 years or more with proper maintenance.

Weather Resistance

Metal roofs are highly resistant to damage from hail, wind, fire, and extreme temperatures, making them a resilient choice for the Texas climate.

Energy Efficiency

Metal roofs reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs, which is especially beneficial in Texas summers.

Environmentally Friendly

Metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and are recyclable at the end of their lifespan.

Higher Upfront Cost

Metal roofs generally have a higher upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles. However, think of them as an investment as their long lifespan and energy efficiency can lead to cost savings over time.

Noise

Metal roofs can be noisier than asphalt shingles, especially during heavy rain. However, proper installation and insulation can minimize noise levels.
