Shingles remain as some of the most popular and classic building blocks that constitute a roof. Finding the right type of shingle roofing involves weighing several factors, including: 

• Aesthetics: An important part of the selection will rest on your aesthetic sensibilities. For a less flashy look that is familiar and appealing, asphalt shingles are a great option. Tile shingles, are less understated, evoking a historic Spanish style. For something more modern, metal roofs have become increasingly prominent. Wood may seem like a dated material for a roof, but the unique character of the grain creates a beautiful presentation. Some homeowners fall in love with slate roofing because of its impressive stone layering, but no matter what you decide, the options are endless. 
• Cost: The most affordable shingles are made from asphalt. Depending on the type of wood you select, wood shingles are usually more expensive. With metal and slate, you’re paying a bit more while tile shingles generally represent the most expensive option. 
• Durability: Long-lasting shingles are a dream come true since it’ll be many years before you have to replace them. Asphalt shingles are the most inexpensive, so it’s no surprise they only last about 30 years. Wood shingles are more durable, averaging closer to 40 years. The real standouts in durability are the slate, metal, and tile options, which have a strong chance of pushing five decades with little repair.
