Best Roof for My Home: A No-Bull Guide to Choosing the Right Roofing System

When homeowners ask, “What type of roof is best for my home?” they’re usually hoping for one clear, easy answer. But here’s the truth — there is no single roofing material that’s universally “best.” Your home, your property, and your long-term needs determine the right roofing system… not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

That’s why we install every major roofing system used today:
shingle, metal, TimberSteel, TPO, EPDM, tile, PVC, and liquid-applied coatings.
Every option has its strengths, and because we service the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, we see just about every scenario a homeowner can run into — steep pitches, coastal winds, flat sections, sun-baked roofs, shaded roofs, storms, you name it.

Most homeowners only replace a roof once or twice in their lifetime. We do this every day. So rather than pushing one material, here’s how we help you find the best one for your home.

We Don’t Believe One Roof Type Is Better Than Another

Some roofers push one material because it’s all they install or because it’s the easiest option for their crews. That’s not how we operate.

In our experience, no single roof type “outperforms” all others across all homes and climates.
A roofing system only performs its best when it matches:

• the design of your home
  
• the pitch of your roof
  
• the layout and property conditions
  
• your goals for durability, appearance, and budget
  

That’s exactly why we install every system… because your home deserves more than a cookie-cutter solution.

A Look at the Roofing Types We Install — and When Each Makes Sense

Asphalt Shingles

Shingles remain one of the most popular choices because they’re reliable, familiar, and cost-effective. We primarily use GAF, a manufacturer we trust for consistent performance in both coastal and inland climates.

Best for: traditional homes, balanced budgets, strong overall value.

Metal Roofing

Metal is a great fit for homeowners looking for longevity, energy efficiency, and a modern aesthetic. It performs incredibly well in storm-prone areas.

Best for: homes needing long-term durability, low maintenance, or elevated curb appeal.

TimberSteel

This is where strength meets style.
One homeowner wanted the durability of metal but didn’t love the industrial look. After walking them through samples, they chose TimberSteel — a stylish, upgraded metal look that gave them both beauty and performance. It was exactly what they were envisioning; they just didn’t know the option existed until we showed it to them.

Best for: homeowners who want high-performance roofing without sacrificing design.

TPO, EPDM & PVC (Flat/Low-Slope Roofing)

These systems are commonly used for flat sections, porch tie-ins, additions, and commercial buildings. We install GAF, IKO, Duro-Last, and Mule-Hide depending on the structure, slope, and long-term needs.

• TPO — energy-efficient and great in hot climates
  
• EPDM — known for long-term durability and simplicity
  
• PVC — highly resistant to chemicals and standing water
  

Best for: flat roofs, commercial structures, or homes with low-slope areas that shingles aren’t suitable for.

Tile Roofing

Tile is beautiful, premium, and incredibly long-lasting. It also performs extremely well in hot climates.

Best for: homeowners wanting a luxury look and maximum lifespan.

Liquid-Applied Roofing

This can extend the life of certain roofs when a full replacement isn’t necessary yet. It seals, protects, and adds years of service to aging roofs.

Best for: commercial roofs or homeowners looking for a cost-effective extension before replacement.

How We Determine the Best Roof for Your Home

Because we offer every major roofing system, our process is simple, thorough, and completely tailored to you:

1. Full Inspection

We get eyes on the roof — structure, slope, trouble spots, ventilation, and wear. Every recommendation starts with understanding your home as it is today.

2. Education First

We break down the differences between materials in plain language. No pressure, no pushing you into something you don’t need.

3. Samples in Your Hands

Seeing and feeling shingles, metal, TimberSteel, or membrane samples helps homeowners understand the true differences.

4. Talk Through Your Goals

Longevity, style, budget, resale value, property layout — every factor matters.

5. Our Honest Recommendation

Based on everything we see and everything you want, we give you the recommendation we’d make if it were our own home.

Straightforward guidance. No guesswork. No bull.

The Best Roof for Your Home Is the One That Fits Your Home

There isn’t one “best” roof type.
There’s only the best roof for your home, your design, and your needs.

Whether it’s stylish TimberSteel, reliable GAF shingles, long-lasting metal, flat-roof systems like TPO/EPDM/PVC, or even tile, the right roof is the one that’s chosen through:

• proper inspection
  
• honest education
  
• real sample comparisons
  
• and a recommendation backed by experience

That’s how we help homeowners make confident decisions — no bull.
