Are you in the market to replace your roof and are wondering what the most popular roof types are in Atlanta?
In Atlanta’s diverse roofing landscape, asphalt shingles and metal roofing stand out as the reigning champions. These two roofing types not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of homes but also offer unmatched durability and resilience against Atlanta’s varying climate. Investing in an upgrade to either of these roofing materials can significantly elevate your home’s value while fortifying it against the local weather in Atlanta.
In this article, we’ll dive into:

Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Benefits
Affordability: Asphalt shingle roofing is one of the most affordable roofing options on the market.
Variety: Asphalt shingles are available in a wide range of textures, colors, and styles allowing you to customize your dream home.
Durability: Asphalt shingles will typically last around 20 to 25 years and will effectively shield your home from a variety of harsh weather conditions.
Types We Install
Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles: Three-tab shingles are the most cost-effective roofing material choice. They get their name from how they have three tabs and a uniform appearance. Three-tab asphalt shingles don’t typically last quite as long as some of your other shingle options, but they are a practical and reliable choice if you want something that is cost-savvy and will effectively protect your home from the Atlanta climate.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles: When choosing a type of shingle for your roof, architectural asphalt shingles are a great choice due to their durability and visually appealing aesthetic. These types of asphalt shingles introduce depth and elegance to your roof while also ensuring exceptional durability against the local climate. Overall, they can withstand extreme weather and are built to last. It makes sense that architectural asphalt shingles are so popular!
Premium Asphalt Shingles: Premium asphalt shingles, or luxury shingles, are known to stand out and are a great choice for your roof and are the pinnacle of quality and aesthetics. This type of asphalt shingle is made with high-quality materials and offers long-term reliability and protection. Typically, the initial cost of premium asphalt shingles is higher than standard asphalt shingles. However, premium asphalt shingles are a great choice if you are looking for a high-quality shingle choice.
Impact Resistant Asphalt Shingles: Impact-resistant shingles are engineered with extreme weather in mind. These shingles have long-lasting resistance against natural elements, such as wind, hail, and other storms. Impact resistant shingles do tend to have a higher range of cost than other shingles, but they require less maintenance and are extremely durable.
Metal Roofing
Benefits
Weather Resistance: Metal roofing is exceptionally durable and will stand against the harshest of weather conditions, including heavy storms and high winds.
Low Maintenance: Metal roofing only requires a little maintenance and you’ll end up saving time and money if you have a metal roof installed for your home.
Environmentally Friendly: Are you looking for a roof that will be environmentally conscious? Metal roofing is made mostly from recycled material and can be recycled at the end of its lifetime!
Types We Install
Standing-Seam Metal Roofing: Our standing-seam metal is crafted with precision and installed by experts. Standing-seam metal roofing has a sleek appearance and its interlocking panel design means that it can stand against a variety of bad weather. Standing-seam metal roofing is a great choice if you want something with durability and a modern look.
Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing: If you’re looking for a metal roof that will have long-lasting resistance to extreme weather and is both incredibly functional and affordable, then exposed fastener metal roofing is for you. This type of metal roofing can withstand hailstorms, harsh winds, and rainstorms. In addition, this type of metal roofing is easier to install than a lot of other metal roofing types.
Corrugated Metal Roofing: Are you looking for a roofing system that is low-cost, durable, and long-lasting? Then, a corrugated metal roofing system is a great choice for you! This system with a distinctive wavy pattern is easy to install and lightweight, making it a great choice for residential homes and properties. In addition, its unique design helps reduce energy costs by reflecting heat away from your home.
Metal Shingles: Metal shingles offer a unique aesthetic. These shingles will upgrade your home’s curb appeal and are made from durable metal. In turn, they are resistant to impact and fire and have long-lasting resistance to the natural elements. Ultimately, metal shingles will help reduce your monthly energy costs by reflecting heat away from your house.
