Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than any other roofing material. This roofing material is versatile and provides excellent protection. Starr offers a wide variety of asphalt shingle styles and colors that are a great option for your Texas roofing system.
What are asphalt shingles?
An asphalt shingle consists of a fiberglass or organic mat coated with asphalt, then covered with colored mineral granules for protection against the elements. Asphalt shingles are available in a range of grades. The better the grade, the longer the life expectancy, which can range from 15 to 30+ years.
Additional advantages of this roofing material include:
Concealed fastener metal roofs are an increasingly popular style in Central Texas. All screws and other fasteners are covered by the panel overlaps, preventing water intrusion and giving this roof type its name. Starr Roofing has extensive experience in the installation and repair of concealed fastener roofing systems. Durable and built to last, these roofs come in a variety of colors and profiles.
Additional advantages of metal roofing include:
In addition, our metal roofing systems come with extended manufacturer warranties that provide the peace of mind the comes with knowing your roof is protected while it is protecting your home and family.
Tile is among the most durable and environmentally sustainable Texas roofing choices. Most tile roofs have warranties ranging from 40-50 years, though some clay tile roofs in Europe have lasted hundreds of years. Starr is the Texas roofing contractor with extensive experience in the installation of clay and concrete tile roofs.
Other advantages of tile roofing materials include:
Clay roof tiles are durable, strong and resistant to all weather conditions. They are baked in kilns at extremely high temperatures, which allow the tiles to retain their strength and color for up to 100 years. Clay tiles are available in an array of shapes, sizes and textures, and in many fade-free colors.
Concrete roof tiles have become a very popular choice due to their durability and lower cost. The average lifespan of concrete tiles is about 50 years, and cost is likewise about half that of clay tiles. Concrete tile is a very durable and fire-resistant roofing material, and available in a wide range of colors and designs.
Shingles and shakes made of wood have been a preferred choice for protecting homes for hundreds of years. Today, homeowners choose wood roofing for a variety of reasons, including achieving a traditional look or a desire to use natural materials or for historic accuracy.
More advantages of wood roofing materials include:
Many homeowners ask us about the difference between wood shingles and wood shakes. Wood shingles are sawn or cut to be uniform in size and thickness. Wood shakes are more irregular in appearance and have at least one split face. Both are usually available in varying widths, one of the features that give a wood roof its rustic appearance.
With its unique texture, natural tones and unmatched durability, slate is the perfect combination of practicality and beauty, and will give your home an elegant traditional look. Modern variations of slate roofing tiles are being made thinner and of lighter weight to achieve the look and feel of slate for a lower cost, and with less complicated installation requirements.
