Copper
One of the most attractive and expensive roofing materials on the market. Copper roofing is unique because the panels can gently change color over time when exposed to the elements. This process can dramatically alter the look of your roof, adding to its visual appearance to potential clients or buyers.
Aluminum
Aluminum, like other types of metal roofing, is resistant to fire, wind, moss, and rot. Rain and snow flow off freely, ridding you of the many roof leaks commonly associated with composition shingles. Aluminum roofing panels are very lightweight and minimize your roof’s load-bearing weight stresses.
