If a roof is going to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance, it needs to be structured and supported by high-quality materials. We specialize in asphalt shingles, tiles, slate, metal, plastic, and special TPO & EPDM flat roofing systems. How can we make your roof better today?

Asphalt shingles are probably the most common roofing system in the industry today. They're aesthetically appealing, can be designed to mimic the look of pricier materials, and come in many different colors. With roof coatings, asphalt shingles can be fireproof and waterproof, increasing their longevity.

It doesn't matter what type of home or business building you have, because asphalt generally looks create on any structure. When asphalt shingles are installed correctly, they can last close to 30 years or more.

In the past, asphalt shingles typically only "hung around" for 15 years or so. That's not the case anymore, especially when a high-quality brand is used. Do you think asphalt shingles are the way to go? Take a look and call us now. We'll hook you up with a FREE estimate.

Have you ever seen an abandoned building that hasn't been used for decades but isn't deteriorating like other ghosted buildings? Check out the roof. Chances are, the structure is topped with a slate roofing system. Slate is widely known for its preservation properties. In fact, ancient castles that are still standing today have slate roofs. Benefits of slate include:

• Gorgeous & unique appearance
• Increases curb appeal & home value
• Durability - fireproof, waterproof, & weatherproof
• An excellent insulator (castles didn't have HVAC systems)
• Natural slate is an eco-friendly option

Initially, slate is a pricier roofing type and material, but here's the thing, slate lasts forever. We can guarantee your slate roof will be around long after you're gone, and the kids inherited the home. So, in time, your slate roof will pay for itself. You can learn more about the qualities of slate roofs by visiting our blog.

Have you ever wanted to live in a home that resembled houses from old country magazines or perhaps a cottage from your favorite fairytale? Now you can with charming cedar shakes. This type of roofing system is rustic and natural-looking, which is why it's perfect for cabins, cottages, and farmhouses. However, it can definitely work on your townhouse, too.

There are two types of cedar roofing available: cedar shakes and cedar wood shingles. When you choose the shingles, you'll still get the great look of wood, but it won't be as detailed and rough-looking as shakes. Cedar shake roofing in Garland is easy to install, moderately priced, and enhances the curb appeal of your home. Visit our blog today to learn more.

When it comes to metal roofing, many people imagine it sitting atop a commercial or industrial building. Now, it is true, many businesses opt for metal roofing, but the buck doesn't stop there.

The Garland Roofers always enjoy installing a brand new tile roof on a customer's home or office building. Tile is unique in appearance and always stands out in the crowd of homes in your neighborhood. Check out the benefits of a tile:

• Made from completely earth-friendly materials
• Weather-resistant & very durable
• Raises your property's Energy Star Rating
• Acts as an excellent insulator
• It is quite easy to install 
• Low- maintenance

Garland, TX, is often hit with extreme temperatures and weather patterns, making it an excellent option for any homeowner. Tile stands up to strong winds, heat, and many other elements without a problem. Plus, it lasts for decades.

Rubber roofing, otherwise known as TPO & EPDM, is a common material used on commercial and industrial buildings. This type of roof material is easy to lay on flat roofs because it rolls onto the surface. TPO roofing can be cut and manipulated to accommodate chimneys, AC systems, and other equipment that might be found on top of a commercial building.

Not many people know this, but rubber is a sustainably sourced organic material that is natural and eco-friendly. When you choose a rubber roof, you're helping to care for the environment. Rubber roofing systems are generally affordable and will end up paying for themselves over time because they are long-lasting, especially with a roof coating applied.

The Garland Roofers offer specially treated roofing systems that consist of high-quality coatings. These coatings extend the life of your roof by offering an extra layer of protection from the elements, fire, and water damage. Here are the five most common types of coatings that we use:

• Silicone
• Acrylic
• Polyurethane
• Bitumen
• Asphalt

Of these five, we tend to use acrylic the most because it has excellent weathering properties. However, our contractors will determine which coating will suit your roof the best during your FREE consultation.

Plastic roofing, otherwise referred to as roof panels, is most commonly seen in commercial buildings. You may have looked up at the ceiling in an office building and saw the sky. Surprisingly, the window you saw most likely wasn't glass but a plastic panel.

Plastic roofing is typically composed of polycarbonate or PVC material. The panels are removable, come in different colors, and allow you to see the sun and moon from inside of your residential or commercial property.

Another place where roof panels look amazing is sun porches, indoor patios, and pergolas. If you're curious about plastic roofing systems, get in touch with our team to learn more.
