Tile Roofs

Tile roofs are available in clay or concrete and are beneficial because of their fire, rain, and high wind resistance. They are considered an investment as they can last up to 50 years with regular maintenance. However, some tiles can be more fragile than other roofing systems as they can break or crack when stepped on.

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingle roofs are the preferred option for many homeowners because of their durability and their price-point. As the name suggests, the roofing makes use of asphalt for waterproofing and is available in organic or fiberglass. When maintained properly, an asphalt shingle roof can last up to 20 years. A basic maintenance requirement is that the shingles are checked regularly to replace or repair pieces that are loose or damaged.

Flat Roofs

Flat roofs are almost completely level and are typically coated with layers of bitumen sheets, a single-ply membrane, or rubber. Flat roofs can last up to 20 years before they need replacement. They should be inspected at least twice a year to prevent everyday wear and tear. During hurricane season in South Florida, flat roofs should be inspected after every storm. (Continued)
