| In shopping for roofing products, one must consider the durability of the products, the cost, and whether or not the products fit the architectural style of the home. Asphalt shingles have dominated the market. Yet now, shingles are also available in materials like clay tile, concrete tile, metal, and other types. There are also many other roofing choices such as sheet metal, cement tile, and slate. Remember that roof slope and structure makes a difference in the type of roof you can use. Roof framing must support the weight of the product you choose, so consult your builder or architect. Siding is available in materials like wood, vinyl, masonry, brick, and aluminum. Some of these products provide long-lasting benefits and little maintenance. As with roofing products, it would be wise to consider the type of climate your home is in to evaluate the product's energy-efficiency. Some good advice from a leading builder in Texas is to : "Check to make sure that the Homeowners Association in your community does not have restrictions on the type of material you can use for roofing and siding before you build."
