Roofing Materials for Popular Louisiana Home Styles: Asphalt Shingles

The most popular roofing material used for Louisiana style homes, are asphalt shingles. Shingle popularity is due to a couple of factors, longevity, affordability, and tastefulness. CertainTeed shingles are known to last. The company, CertainTeed, offers the top shingles on the market, along with some of the best warranties in the roofing industry. Roofing shingles are often used because they are affordable for just about any homeowner. However, choosing the most reliable roofer and roofing materials, is not always that simple. CertainTeed shingles can complement any architectural style because they have various color and style options. Choosing the right style and color for your home, may not always be easy, but with the proper guidance from a roofing company, can help narrow down your decisions. Traditional architecture homes featuring Colonial Revival or Federal architecture, look great with three-tab asphalt shingles. If your home is built in a more ornate style like Victorian, Craftsman, or Gothic Revival that traditionally features wood shakes, dimensional shingles like the GAF Timberline® shingles are ideal. CertainTeed has many options meant to fit the needs of any homeowner. Matlock Roofing & Construction can answer any questions you have about shingle warranties, prices, or style and color options.

Metal Roofs

Metal is another roofing material popular for Louisiana style homes. Metal is known to be an extremely versatile roofing material. If you’re thinking about installing a residential metal roof, you should know that metal roofs are available in several styles that mimic traditional ones, including tile and slate. We recommend stone-coated metal shingles if you want to retain a traditional look while taking advantage of the benefits of metal roofing. Metal roofs are becoming more popular because metal boasts supreme durability. If you have questions about installing a new metal roof, contact Matlock Roofing Construction.

Tile Roofs

Tiled roofs are both beautiful and durable. Roofing tiles can come in many shapes: flat, fluted, curved, or interlocking. Tile roofs are known as a defining feature of Mediterranean- or Spanish-style architecture. The red hues are often used with stucco siding. Ranch style homes are known to make an easy transition to tile roofs because of their sprawling floor plans and sloped roofs. Tile roofs can be made of clay, concrete, or slate. The options are endless when it comes to tile roofs. For more information on tile roofs, call Matlock Roofing Construction at 601-620-4162

Flat Roofs

Flat and low-slope roofs are a staple of contemporary architecture. There are several options for flat roofing depending on how you intend to use your roof: traditional built-up roofing (also known as “gravel roofs”) and modified bitumen roofs, ideal if you expect high foot traffic on your roof. Single-ply systems like EPDM and TPO are seamlessrnsolutions for thin roofs and are more energy-efficient thanks to their outer layers that can reflect sunlight, reducing the amount of heat absorbed through the roof. Whether you are in the market for a shingle, metal, tile, or flat roof project, Matlock Roofing & Construction is equipped to answer your questions and hopefully solve all of your roofing problems.
