How to choose a roofing style?

Choosing the right roofing style involves balancing aesthetics, budget, and performance needs. Key factors include:

1. Climate – In Florida, metal and tile roofing are excellent for withstanding heat, humidity, and hurricanes.
   
2. Home design – Asphalt shingles fit traditional styles, while metal and tile roofs enhance modern or Mediterranean architecture.
   
3. Longevity – Shingles last 15–25 years, while metal and tile can last 40–50+ years.
   
4. Energy efficiency – Light-colored or reflective materials help reduce cooling costs in Florida’s hot climate.
   
5. Budget – Asphalt shingles are the most affordable upfront, but metal offers better long-term savings.
   

A roofing professional can walk you through samples, durability ratings, and how each style complements your home’s curb appeal.
