Asphalt Shingle Roofing Vs. Metal Roofing

Roofing

Whether it be pelting rain, piling snow, rough winds, or continuous exposure to harsh UV rays, there is no denying that your roof bears the brunt of all Mother Nature has in store. Considering this, you want to make sure your roof is in top-quality condition. This is especially important, as a worn roof will leave your home vulnerable to costly water damage, such as mold and mildew growth.

No homeowner wants to put up with the headache or expenses of these issues. So instead of grimacing at unfavorable weather conditions and hoping against all odds that your old roof will provide your home with the protection you require, instead consider the benefits of a roof replacement.

Weighing Your Options

Roofing

Having a new roof installed on your home will provide you with peace of mind knowing your residence has a secure and dependable protective barrier in place. However, when opting for a roof replacement, you may wonder which type of roofing system is best for your property. There are multiple options on the market, such as asphalt shingles and metal. So, how do you narrow down your options and choose the right system?

First, consider each roofing material and what they may offer. For example:

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

This roofing system is known for being a cost-effective choice that homeowners love. Asphalt shingles are also known for their impressive durability, and exceptional energy efficiency, and are available in a wide selection of attractive colors and profiles. Whether you are after a rustic, modern, or traditional look, you’ll likely be able to find a shingle style that matches your exact preferences.

If this sounds like a roofing system that would meet all of your needs, make sure you partner with a roofing company that installs asphalt shingles that are sourced from industry-leading manufacturers, such as CertainTeed, GAF, and EcoStar. These brands are celebrated for crafting best-in-class products that homeowners can rely on.

Metal Roofing

Thick-gauge metal offers impressive strength and extraordinary insulation as it reflects radiant heat. And due to its energy efficiency, metal roofing can help your home maintain a consistently comfortable temperature throughout the year and reduce stress on your HVAC system, which may lead to lower energy expenses.

There are also various types of metal roofing systems to consider, such as:

  • Steel roofing
  • Copper roofing
  • Aluminum roofing

With various options to choose from, you can easily find something that will complement the architecture of your home and your personal taste.

Customer Reviews

Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work.

Nancy P.

Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!

Laura M.

Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!

Scott C.

Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work.

Ryan H.

I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work.

Hassan W.

Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough.

Erin M.

Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!
