The Basic Roofing Materials

Your choice of roofing materials often depends on your locality, as much as on your own personal taste.

Wood shake shingles can be used for steeper pitched roofs but are not suitable for flatter, low-pitched roofs.

Common choices for residential roofing include:

Asphalt composition shingles:  These are cheap and easily obtainable, but they are less attractive than other options due to their flat appearance. This is by far the most popular type of roofing material.

  • Wood shakes or shingles: These are pricey but attractive shingles. They have great durability but aren’t a good choice in regions where there is a fire danger.
  • Metal Roofing: Metal roofs made of steel or aluminum have become more popular in recent years, due in part to their durability and because they are fireproof.
  • Slate roofing: This is a highly attractive, high-end roofing option, but it is expensive and very heavy.
  • Composition slate: These synthetic tiles made from 95 percent recycled materials, including rubber, are gaining in popularity.
  • Clay or ceramic tile: Long the most predominant image in Southern California and Florida, the so-called Spanish-style red tile roof is still common but is being gradually replaced by metal and composite materials that mimic the Spanish tile look.

Tear off or Second Layer?

Weight: The main argument against laying additional layers of asphalt shingles is that the row

Telegraphing: Another problem with shingling over existing shingles is that you are essentially repeating some of the surface irregularities that may already be present.

Work and waste reduction: The primary advantage of layering is that it reduces the work involved.

Manufacturer’s warranties: Some types of roofs and manufacturers require that roofs under warranty be completely stripped in order to comply with the rules and restrictions of the warranty.

Understand the Roofing Process

Remove all existing shingles, and deposit them in a roll-off dumpster.
Make minor repairs on the roof if it is in good condition.
Install ice dam protection in regions that require it.
Lay down asphalt roofing paper over the roof sheathing.
Apply metal drip edging around the edge of the roof, both the eave sides and gable sides.
Where necessary, apply a new valley flashing along with areas where two roof planes meet:
Apply the tab shingles, starting at the eaves and working upward toward the peak:
Apply the flashing around all areas where leaks might come into the house—against the chimney, around skylights and stack vents, etc.
Install the ridge vent.
