Roofing materials come in a very wide array and new materials join the already long list every year – here are the most common choices right now:

• Metal roofs – back in the day, all metal roofs consisted of large panels. Nowadays, the choice is much wider, allowing buyers to choose from smaller panels, shingles, even tile-shaped components. Metal roofing materials are made from different alloys, but they all offer durability, resistance to the elements as well as to pests, easy installation and longevity without too much maintenance;
