  • Wood Shingles & Shakes – Beautiful but high-maintenance, which can lead to ongoing costs if not properly cared for. If you’re prepared for upkeep, it adds charm and character.
  • Clay & Concrete Tiles – Clay and concrete tiles demand low maintenance, but they last over 50 years and help cut down on cooling expenses. Perfect for warm climates where energy efficiency matters.
  • Slate – The highest upfront cost, but it lasts over a century, meaning fewer replacements and increased home value. If you’re thinking about generational value, this is a top-tier option.
