Below are the best roofing materials for your Florida home.
Top Florida Roof Types
Clay
Clay or slate tiles are an excellent choice when it comes to deciding on the material used on your roof. This is because they have a long life span, and they won’t start to deteriorate when they get rained on. Clay tiles are often called low maintenance roofing.
This is because it is not uncommon for these tiles to sometimes outlive their owners. They may need a few repairs, or some general maintenance, but they are built to last for sure. The few flaws of this material are its cost and that it weighs more than your average roof.
Any home where a tile roof is installed needs to be able to withstand their weight.
Metal
A metal roof can also be quite strong and hold up well over the years. Metal roofing material is often valued in the Florida area because it can keep it together during high wind and storm seasons. This type of roof will also do fine in the tropical climate that we have here.
The drawback of a metal roof is also often the cost of the product as well as the install. It is also important to note that when it rains you will experience more noise from this style of roof.
