Wood Slate

What are the main differences between roofing materials???? Asphalt, slate, wood shingles, etc??

I am looking at purchasing a home that is in need of a new roof among other things, and was wondering if someone could tell me what the difference was between the different materials available for use. The house is in Pittsburgh, PA. The homes around the area seem to have either slate or asphalt. What is the life expectancy of each type? Are there certain benefits accompanied with each one? Any advice would be great.

Wood shingles are no longer allowed in California. They burn. They also blow off in storms. And your insurance cost more. Tile roofs are beautiful, but they crack if you walk on them.

You should consult a professional roofer for advice on what works best in your climate and what type of roof your house can support.

Most people here re-roof with asphalt when their roof needs replacing, because it is less expensive and not all trusses can support a heavier roof.
