The first step in any roof installation or replacement project is to choose the right material. Hawaii residents have a number of roofing materials to choose from that will shield their home from the regional elements, including the following.

3 Sturdy Roofs for Hawaii Homes

1. Asphalt

Asphalt is one of the most common roofing materials used in Hawaii and the rest of the country because it’s cost-effective, fire-resistant, and easy to install. Asphalt shingles also come in a variety of colors and styles you can match to your home’s exterior design. The main drawback is that they have an average life span of about 20 years and require routine maintenance.  

2. Clay 

Clay is an attractive roofing option that comes in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. These tiles can withstand Hawaii weather conditions like strong winds and heavy rain, and are also fire and insect-resistant. Clay is costlier and heavier than asphalt; however, it can last up to 80 years and requires less maintenance.

3. Metal

Metal roofing is growing in popularity in Hawaii because of its ability to withstand even the harshest weather, including hurricanes, and its long life span. It’s sold in both plate and tile form with a variety of colors and textures. The main drawback to metal is that it can get noisy when it rains.
