They handle both residential and commercial projects—everything from roof installation to repairs and beyond. If you're in the market for a new roof there are many options to consider, so it helps to narrow it down to a few of the most popular materials. 

When you need a roof built from scratch, here are a few of the common materials used and the advantages that come along with them: 

• Metal Roofing: Metal roofing materials include steel, aluminum, and copper, all of which offer increased durability. Metal roofs are also fireproof and are often made from recycled materials, making them a green option both before and after you're done with them. 
• Shingles: There are a variety of shingle options available, with the most prevalent being asphalt composition shingles. These are easy to work with and relatively inexpensive. While they do degrade over time, pros such as those at Action Roofing Services will gladly help with any re-roofing work. Other options include wood shingles, which are slightly more environmentally-conscious and tend to be cooler in general, and slate shingles, which are created from sedimentary rock.
• Clay Or Concrete Tile: While tile roofing materials are generally more expensive and much heavier than other options, they'll end up providing you with durable, long-lasting coverage that's low on maintenance. Tile roofs also tend to offer great insulation and energy-efficiency value.
