BLOG How to Choose the Right Roofing Material for Your Texas Home Jul 15, 2025

Choosing the right roofing material is one of the most important decisions for your home’s protection, appearance, and energy efficiency. In Texas, the weather demands roofing that can withstand heat, storms, and hail. At E & E Roofing, we help homeowners select the best roofing materials based on their budget, style, and durability needs.

Popular Roofing Materials in Texas

  1. Asphalt Shingles
  2. The most common roofing material in Texas. Asphalt shingles are affordable, easy to install, and available in various colors and styles. They perform well in heat but may need replacement every 15-20 years.
  3. Metal Roofing
  4. Metal roofs offer superior durability and fire resistance. They reflect sunlight, keeping your home cooler, and can last 40-70 years. Metal roofing can be more expensive upfront but often pays off in longevity and energy savings.
  5. Clay and Concrete Tiles
  6. Ideal for homeowners looking for a classic or Mediterranean look. These tiles are heavy but extremely durable and fire-resistant. They handle heat well and can last over 50 years.
  7. Synthetic Roofing
  8. Synthetic materials mimic the appearance of wood or slate but with better durability and lower maintenance. They’re lighter and often come with strong warranties.
  9. Wood Shingles and Shakes
  10. Less common in Texas due to fire risk but appreciated for natural aesthetics. Require regular maintenance and treatment for fire resistance.
