Shingle Roof
One of the most common types of roofing and ideal for homeowners who are going for a very particular aesthetic look to compliment their home design. Shingle roofing is made up of dozens or hundreds of individual shingles, which are flat, rectangular pieces of roofing material. These shingles can be made from a wide variety of materials, including: wood, asphalt, fiber cement, slate, metal, plastic, or flagstone. Shingle roofing can come in a wide variety of colors and styles, which allows for extensive customization. Shingle roofing is also durable and inexpensive to maintain.
Flat Roof
Flat roofs are a fixture in both residential and commercial construction. Often found atop multi-story buildings, flat roofs are level instead of sloped. They are probably one of the most inexpensive roofs, however they are convenient and accessible in a way that sloped roofs are not. The space on a flat roof can be used for things like roof top gardens, solar panels, and cozy entertaining space. Since flat roofs have a tendency to trap water, they are typically covered with a waterproof membrane, which is vital to the structural integrity of the building.
Rubber Roof
The two most popular types of rubber roofing used on construction properties are EPDM and TPO. EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, which is a synthetic rubber, black in color. TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, which is a type of rubber white in color. Rubber roofing can be used on both sloped and flat roofs and is well worth the cost. Rubber roofing is highly durable and can help owners save on energy costs. It reflects the sun, which in turn cools your home allowing you to cut expenses on things like air conditioning. Rubber roofing is also inexpensive, with EPDM in particular being one of the least costly roofing materials on the market. Rubber roofs are also naturally impervious to water, because of its lack of seams.
Euroshield® products contain 70% crumb rubber from tires and approximately 95% recycled content. Making them an environmentally friendly choice in roofing.
EuroSlate® and EuroShake® are the original rubber roofing products and feature our unique interlocking “tongue and groove” panel system. They present a thicker profile (3/4” at the butt edge) and weigh approximately 3.4 lbs per square foot. Light enough for any standard roofing application without the need for added truss supports. Other options are available.
Metal Roof
Very common in commercial applications and becoming more popular in residential applications. The most popular types of metal used in roofing include copper, galvanized steel, tin, zinc, and aluminum.
Both commercial large panel and residential metal roofs provide strength, durability, and efficiency in a low-maintenance solution. Although a flat-roofed ultra-modernist concept might be able to accommodate an industrial style large panel metal roof, we now have options for the traditional elements of elegance preferred by the majority of high-end homeowners that look for distinctive classic beauty of shakes, shingles, or tiles. A great choice is- DECRA's innovative process , which incorporates stylish and colorful stone-coating over layered steel providing the design and installation versatility architects and builders need to enhance the most sophisticated roof designs. Metal roofing provides a much more suitable lifetime alternative for stately sustainable homes intended to last a century or more because they are impervious to wind, rain, hail, snow, and even dry sunny climates. Metal roofs provide a tighter envelope over the home reducing the entry of outside air which results in energy savings in all seasons. Homeowners report energy savings up to 20% after installing metal roofs. In hot climates, the exceptional thermal emittance characteristic of metal roofing is far superior to asphalt shingles which continue to radiate heat long after the sun sets. Metal roofs are often 100% recyclable, contributing to LEED projects and reducing construction waste in landfills. Another very important consideration now is lightweight metal roofing which has a host of benefits for every project including:
- Eliminate tear-offs and costly waste disposal expenses for remodeling or refurbishment of existing roofs while diverting waste from landfills.
- Unmatched strength to weight ratio which adds shear strength to the roof, especially important in hurricane or earthquake-prone regions.
- No reinforcement required for supporting decks. The average DECRA steel roof weighs between 3,500 and 4,500 pounds, compared to 45,000 pounds for a comparable asphalt shingle roof.
Slate Roof
Slate roofing is almost exclusively found on residential properties. Slate is 100% natural stone, giving a home an elegant look. It can come in a range of colors, shingle sizes, and thicknesses. Slate roofing is higher in cost when compared to other roofing types, but well worth the investment. Beyond looks, it is long-lasting and with proper maintenance and care, slate roofs have been known to last for more than a century. Slate is dense, making it waterproof and fireproof. This means less maintenance than other roofing types; an excellent choice that tends to increase the home’s resale value.
Wood Shake Roof
Wood Shake roofs are a specialized type of shingle also primarily chosen for residential properties. A shake is a wooden shingle made from split logs. Though shingles can be made from many types of materials, shakes are only made from wood. The primary benefit of wood shakes is its beauty. It provides homes with a rustic look, differing from that of manmade roofing materials. When maintained well, these shingles can last for decades. Homeowners need to take proper precautions with mold and mildew. Also, wood shake roofs are easy to install and repair; making individual shakes easy to replace. This brings the overall wood shake roof cost down dramatically. Many types of wood can be used to create shake, but the most common is cedar.
Silicone Roof
100% Silicone creates a seamless membrane to seal and repair existing roofs and permanently protect against leaks, permanent ponding water and the damaging effects of severe weather. Available in several colors to enhance the aesthetics of any roof. Versatile for flat and sloped roofs as well as large and small buildings, homes, garages and patio covers, sheds and barns.

TPO Roofs
What Is a TPO Roof? TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, a single-ply roofing membrane that covers the surface of the roof. The name is a bit misleading, because rather than being a plastic, TPO is actually one of a few different types of rubber, usually a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin is a single-ply roofing membrane that is one of the fastest growing commercial roofing systems on the market. TPO roofing systems are made up of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim that can be used to cover flat roofs.
TPO membranes are manufactured in sheets that are 10, 12 or 20 feet wide. These sheets are then rolled up and taken to the commercial facility. TPO has gained industry acceptance with the natural reflective surface to reflect UV rays. As reported by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) TPO takes up about 40% of the commercial roofing market share.
- Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) – The most used insulation type for roofing applications, Polyiso is more expensive but pays off with a higher R-value rating.
- Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) – With the highest R-value per dollar, EPS is used for roof, wall and floor insulation. EPS can be used for ground contact and does not retain water over time.
- Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) – Usually defined by the blue, green or pink color, XPS falls in-between Polyiso and EPS in the range of price and performance. XPS is semipermeable with a perm rating of 1.
The TPO membrane can be attached to the cover board with a bonding adhesive or mechanically fastened. When the membrane is rolled out, the contractor then returns and uses a hot-air gun to hot air weld the seams together.
Built-Up Roofs
Built up roof membranes, referred to by the acronym BUR, have been in use in the U.S. for more than 100 years. These roof systems are commonly referred to as "tar and gravel" roofs. BUR systems generally are composed of alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics that create a finished membrane. The number of plies in a cross section is the number of plies on a roof: The term "four plies" denotes a four ply roof membrane construction. Sometimes, a base sheet, used as the bottommost ply, is mechanically fastened. Built up roofs generally are considered to be fully adhered if applied directly to roof decks or insulation.
Fluid Applied/Roof Coating
