Slate- Slate roofing has been around for a very long time. These slate tiles give off a classic natural look while also providing protection.

Spray Foam- Spray Foam roofing is becoming more and more popular here in Phoenix, Arizona for it’s protection against roof leaks and extreme heat. The foam roofing adds a layer keeping the sun’s heat from passing through into the home.
Metal- Metal roofing is surprisingly effective in redirecting the heat away from your roof leaving the home cooler. This roofing material is durable and can last a very long time with proper maintenance.
Shingles- Shingle roofing is typically the go-to and most common. Shingles have an appealing look and are beneficial in keeping your home cooler. In comparison to other roofing materials however, they aren’t as durable after constant exposure to the extreme heat.
