Materials
Compare popular roofing materials
3-Tab Asphalt Shingles
15–20 yearsThe budget standard. Great choice if you plan to sell within 10 years or need to replace a roof fast.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
25–30 yearsThe default recommendation for most U.S. homeowners in 2026 — better lifespan and looks for a small premium.
Metal (Standing Seam)
40–70 yearsPremium long-term choice. Common insurance discounts in hail/wind regions offset the cost over time.
