What style of roofing is right for my home?

The three factors that determine the roofing choices for your home are:

  • Personal preference

  • Structural support

  • Budget

If structural support isn’t an issue and your budget is flexible, then you can choose exactly the type of roof you want .

Structural support can sometimes limit the use of heavier roofing materials including clay, slate and cement tile. A structure must be engineered to withstand the weight of heavy-duty tiles. If your roof does not support heavier tiles, you can have an engineer evaluate your home to see if structural support can be enhanced. If it can’t be modified, there are still alternatives.

One option for homes in this category is stone-coated steel. Sturdy metal tiles are coated with stone material and present a vibrant, aesthetic appearance without the extra weight.

Another stylish option is synthetic wood shake roofing. Organic wood shake is made from cedar blocks. However, Colorado’s sometimes dry weather and fire codes make wood roofing inadvisable. The good news is that synthetic shake is durable, aesthetic and fire resistant.

Overview of roofing styles

Fidler on the Roof Colorado specializes in installing specialty and diverse roofing materials, including clay and concrete tile, slate and steel.

Clay tile

Clay roofing tile is a classic, durable specialty roofing material that has been used around the world for centuries. This organic material comes in a wide variety of colors and styles, from historic to contemporary.

Slate tile

You can’t get any more natural than slate. Like clay, it offers a variety of colors and styles. Slate roofing materials are quarried, not manufactured.

Cement tile

Cement tile is a popular, versatile and aesthetic roofing material. Cement roofing tiles are sometimes mistaken for slate or other roofing surfaces because they are customized and produced in diverse colors and textures.

Stone-coated steel

Stone-coated steel has a stylish and striking appearance but is lighter than stone and tile. This makes it an option for homes of almost every size and build.

Synthetic wood shake

Synthetic wood shake shingles possess the appearance of cedar shake shingles, but are made from manufactured material. These have a unique value proposition in Colorado, where fire codes may preclude actual cedar shake. Synthetic shake brings strong curb appeal to a home.

Standing seam

Standing seam metal is a highly durable roofing material that is installed in strips instead of shingles or tiles. This metal roofing can be ordered in a variety of colors.

Composition roofing

Composition is the most popular type of roof in the United States. The name comes from the fact that these durable shingles are a composite of materials. Generally, this is the most budget-friendly option. However, composite roofs come in a diverse variety of shapes and colors so you can customize them to your preferences.

TPO commercial roofing

TPO waterproof roof coatings are usually sought for commercial roofing. This coating keeps out water and minimizes solar and environmental damage. In addition, sometimes TPO can be applied instead of a roof replacement.
