Tile
Tiled roofs are beautiful as well as durable. Traditionally, most roofing tiles were made from fired clay or terra cotta product, but today's tiles are made with a range of materials, from tinted concrete to molded composites. Tile roofs are the best choice for a Southwest, Spanish, or Mediterranean style home. They are also heavy and expensive, which is why we recommend most homeowners choose composite tiles. Companies like Paragon Roof Systems offer the best performance, looks, and cost, all while retaining an old-world appeal.

Impact Rating
Thousands of homeowners lose their roofs to wind and hail damage each year, but some areas are more affected by damaging storms than others. Homes in areas that experience stronger, damaging storms will benefit greatly from impact resistant shingles because they offer long-term roof protection.
Impact resistant roofing materials do cost more initially, but they pay for themselves in the long run. Typically, these shingles cost 10-20% more than their non-impact counterparts. That being said, they reduce a homeowner’s maintenance costs and may even prevent premature roof replacement.
