Cedar Shake

This roof style provides a rich, thick visual appeal. It presents a rustic appearance because of the rough split in the surface and saw-back features. This style of shingle roofing installation is ideal for traditional ranch homes or vacation houses because its rustic flavor melds perfectly with the beauty of a natural landscape and natural scenery surrounding a home.

Natural Slate

This traditional type of roof is one of the longest-lasting of its kind. It is made from all-natural slate roof shingles comprised of natural stone. Natural slate material is quarried from the earth and provides impressive protection from fire, wind, hail, and other damages caused by weather and time.

Synthetic Slate

This particular style of roofing offers the timeless look of traditional materials while also providing flexibility and a light-weight covering. This roof type is extremely versatile in that it can take on the look of authentic shake roofing while rendering the safety and protection you expect from a quality roof. Synthetic slate can be applied to almost any style of house from modern to Victorian.

Metal Roofing

Most qualified metal roofing contractors will tell you that this is a spectacular medium when you want to present an impressive industrial look to a building or a home. Moreover, this type of roof is renowned for its resistance to damage and long lifespan. This roof consists of pieces of metal such as copper, zinc, or other steel alloys. When completed, the results are breathtaking and practically impermeable. We also install concealed fastener standing seam metal, which is not to be confused with exposed fastener systems or "barn tin", as we do not deem this to be a satisfactory system for any livable structure.

Asphalt Shingles

This is a very popular choice of roof because asphalt roofing features many colors, styles, and appearances. It is also a smart choice because it is quite affordable. This type of roof is designed to provide a home with adequate protection while requiring very little maintenance. 

EPDM / Rubber

This unique roof type is geared for low-sloping or flat roofing. It has superior durability and can be quite cost-effective. This is an option for industrial roofing or in residential applications; EPDM can be utilized to effectively roof carports and patios.

Tile

Aside from a tile being visually stunning, these types of roofs can be extremely durable. This style of roof is perfect when you need to achieve a certain look that stands out from the community and makes a bold statement. Because they are made from strong, man-made clay, these tiles can last a very long time in the right environment. Tile roofs have been reported to sustain high winds and hail, and they are even fireproof to an extent.
