Metal Roofs

Wood Shake

Even though wood shingles or shakes can look amazing, they can also be very problematic. Moss buildup is actually the smallest problem you can find yourself in. Moss can deteriorate your shingles and ruin your roof, but this roof has a bigger problem. It is extremely prone to burning, so if you live in an area with wild fire, avoid this roof. It will take 360 dollars to fix it.

Tiles

The biggest problem with tiles is that they can easily brake or crack. Cracks cause a protection layer to deteriorate you the water can come through.  Also, be sure that the UV rays can’t harm your roofing system.
