COMPOSITION

If you’ve heard the term composition roof and weren’t sure what it meant, you’re not alone. Simply put, a composition roof refers to a roof made with composite shingles—usually a blend of materials like asphalt, fiberglass, and mineral granules. These shingles are designed to be strong, weather-resistant, and cost-effective.

As a homeowner, you'll typically choose from three main types of composition shingles:

• 3-Tab Shingles – The most basic and budget-friendly option. These have a flat, uniform appearance and offer reliable protection for a lower upfront cost.
   
• Architectural Shingles – A popular upgrade, these have a layered look that adds dimension and enhances your home's curb appeal. They're also more durable than 3-tab shingles.
   
• Presidential Shingles – The top-tier choice in composition roofing. These are designed to mimic the look of cedar shakes or slate while offering excellent durability and a premium finish.
   

Whether you’re replacing your current roof or building a new home, composition roofing offers a range of styles and price points to fit your needs.

 If you're looking for a roofing option that’s built to last and requires little upkeep, a metal roof is a smart investment for your home. Metal roofing systems are made from durable materials like steel alloys, zinc, or copper—designed to withstand the elements for decades.

One of the biggest advantages for homeowners is the low maintenance. Unlike other roofing materials that may need regular repairs or replacements, metal roofs are tough, long-lasting, and generally worry-free. They’re also lightweight, which means they won’t put unnecessary stress on your home’s structure.

Another bonus? Metal roofing can often be installed over your existing roof, saving time and reducing removal costs.

At Mays Roofing and Remodeling, we offer a wide range of metal roofing options to suit your style and budget. Plus, we provide ongoing support and maintenance services to keep your roof in top shape for years to come.

 If you're looking for a roof that offers both beauty and long-term protection, tile roofing is an excellent choice for your home. Known for its durability and weather resistance, tile roofing stands up to harsh conditions while adding timeless style to your home’s exterior.

Tile roofs are made from a variety of materials, including traditional clay, slate, and terracotta. In modern construction, you’ll also find options like concrete, steel, and even high-grade plastic—all designed to mimic the classic look while offering different levels of performance and affordability.

Among these, clay tiles remain the most popular choice. They’re incredibly sturdy, naturally pest-resistant, and offer a rich, glazed finish that gives your home a classic, upscale appearance with a touch of vintage charm.

In addition to their beauty, tile roofs are low-maintenance and built to last for decades—making them a smart, long-term investment in your home's value and curb appeal.

 Flat Roofing: A Modern, Budget-Friendly Option for Your Home

If you're looking for a clean, modern look with practical benefits, flat roofing could be the perfect fit for your home or business. It's a contemporary alternative to traditional concrete and tile roofs, offering a sleek design along with great performance.

One of the biggest advantages of flat roofs is that they’re water-resistant and stand up well to heavy winds. They're also cost-effective—both in terms of installation and long-term maintenance. Because they’re simpler to build, flat roofs can save you money upfront and are easier (and cheaper) to repair or clean down the line.

Homeowners also appreciate how easy flat roofs are to maintain, and how well they adapt to different home styles. There are several material options available, but PVC flat membrane is one of the most popular choices due to its durability and water resistance.

At Mays Roofing and Remodeling, we offer a range of flat roofing solutions tailored to your home or business and budget—and we’re here to handle everything from installation to ongoing care.

 If you love the idea of a warm, natural look for your home, wood shake roofing is a beautiful and practical option to consider. Made from high-quality wood like cedar or redwood, wood shakes are hand-split on one side and sawn on the other, giving your roof a rich, textured appearance that adds character and curb appeal.

Wood shakes aren't just about looks—they’re also known for their thickness and durability, making them a long-lasting choice for homeowners. Thanks to the premium wood materials used, they’re designed to stand up to the elements and age beautifully over time.

Another big plus: wood shakes are excellent natural insulators. That means they help maintain a more stable indoor temperature, which can lead to better energy efficiency and comfort in your home.

If you’re aiming for a classic, rustic, or high-end natural aesthetic, wood shakes bring both charm and performance to your roofing investment.
