If it’s time to replace your roof, you’ll have many options to choose from. Recent roofing innovations make it possible to get more from your home’s first line of defense. To help you select materials and additions that provide aesthetic and functional benefits, here are a few of the roofing trends popular today.

4 Roofing Trends for Your Renovation

1. Reflective Roofs

White and light-colored roofs are energy-efficient. These options reflect rather than absorb heat, keeping you comfortable in your home and reducing your reliance on your HVAC system. If you don’t like the look of white metal, beige, taupe, and light greens and blues will have the same effect. 

2. Skylights

Skylights are popular for their aesthetic appeal. They provide a source of natural light to reduce energy bills while also making your home appear more spacious and airy. Depending on your needs, a contractor can install an individual fixture in your roofing or create glass panels over an entire area.

3. Green Roofs

Also known as living roofs, green roof installations involve placing vegetation to fully or partially cover your roofing. Although they are initially complex to install due to waterproofing and drainage needs, they contribute to a healthier planet. In addition to absorbing carbon emissions and other air pollutants, these roofs conserve energy by insulating your home. 

4. Flat Concrete Roofs

Concrete provides a strong, extremely durable surface that withstands high winds and heavy rainstorms. Its resilience and waterproofing properties also make it virtually impervious to ice or hail damage. A flat surface over your home, this roofing system tends to last 60 years or longer.
