Types of Roofing

Our roofing expertise consists of residential new construction, replacement roofing, and roofing repairs - large and small. We are Maryland's Certified CertainTeed Select Shingle Roofer, a distinguished accreditation given only by the CertainTeed Corporation to a select few roofing companies in the industry.


	Asphalt Shingle Roofing Standard three-tab asphalt shingles are one of the most widely used roofing covers because they are long lasting, readily available and most economical of all roofing types. The typical asphalt shingle is a 36 by 12-inch three-tab strip shingle composed of asphalt saturated mats made from organic felts or fiberglass. Standard shingles are estimated to last 15-20 years.

	Synthetic Slate & Shake Synthetic slate and shake shingles are made from engineered polymers along with other fillers and modifiers. Synthetic shingles offer homeowners significant cost and maintenance savings. They look just like real slate or cedar shake and come in a wide variety of colors, thicknesses, blends and widths. A synthetic roof is estimated to last 50+ years.

	Metal Roofing Metal roofing is one of the most durable and beautiful roofing products that can be installed on your home. Metal roofing products come in a wide variety of colors and styles, they're highly fire resistant and require very little maintenance. The materials used in a metal roof may include steel, aluminum, tin, copper, or a combination of one or more of these metals. A metal roof is estimated to last 40-50 years.
