Deciding what type of roof can be almost as hard as finding a good contractor. Here are some helpful steps to help you and your contractor find the right roof system you. First is the ugly one money. You need to know your budget. Here are some categories to help.

1 high end  roof like tile, and pricy custom metal. Can range from 10,000 to 20,000 (on an average home)

2 mid level low end metal and lifetime shingles. Can range from 6,000 to 10,000 (on an average home)

3 economy level 50yr, 40yr, 30yr and 3tab (20yr) range from 6,000 to 1,700

The mid to economy are more common residential roofs. Once you have an idea of your budget call a licensed contractor to help you with your needs. They will tell you what you can and should put on your home. I hate to say it but you get what you pay for. So make sure you find a contractor that will tell you in detail what they propose to do. Whether a tear off or a recover. Make sure you know what’s going on to your home before you sign or write any checks. Next what ever you decide to put on you roof know that roofing is a very labor intensive job. It’s messy loud. Make sure that you contractor takes the right prepositions to prevent damage to your landscape home. And that they do good final cleanup an inspection. I hope this will help you in your search for a roofing contractor.

i would say metal. bacouse metal seems to hold up better to uv rays. rubber dosent seem to do as well. and when your exposed to the elements like a roof i think somthing that holds up good to uv's is going to give you a better product last a lot longer. and if it gettes cold there rubber tens to lose its flexibility.

Hi

Would have to agree, metal roofing will last longer than rubber. The biggest issue with metal is noise during rain. I personally like the sound off rain on tin, but if you don't you can strap the roof and put a layer of Styrofoam or put a layer of house wrap to absorb some of the sound. Also adds some more R factor to your roof.

Depends on the application and the environment it's being installed in.  For pitched roofing, it's hard to argue against slate.  It lasts indefinitely and looks great.  Metal will last a long time, depending on the finish.  You get what you pay for!
