Roofing Materials Explained
Each roofing material comes with its own pros and cons. Choosing the best one depends on your home’s architecture, budget, and long-term plans.
Asphalt Shingles
- Most common and cost-effective
- Easy to install and maintain
- Ideal for homes across Sacramento, Folsom, Carson City, and beyond
Many homeowners who originally had tile roofs choose to switch to asphalt shingles because they’re easier to maintain and more cost-effective. It’s a practical upgrade without sacrificing protection or curb appeal.

Metal Roofing
- Energy-efficient and extremely durable
- Ideal for wildfire-prone areas like Auburn and Placerville
- Increasingly popular for mountain and rural homes
Homeowners often consider switching from composition shingles to metal due to its strong reputation for longevity. However, we always caution that if fire protection is your only concern, Class A fire-rated composition shingles offer the same fire resistance. Metal roofing should only be installed by a reputable, specialized contractor to ensure proper performance and longevity.
