Asphalt Shingles
Lowest costMost popular and affordable roofing option. Easy to install and widely available, but has the shortest lifespan (15-30 years) and is vulnerable to high winds.

Tile Roofing
Premium option offering exceptional longevity (50-100 years) and distinctive aesthetics. Very heavy, requiring structural reinforcement, and the most expensive to install.
