Roof shingle types — Raleigh, NC
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Several things change the final bill when you replace a roof. The total area of your home is the biggest factor, followed by the specific materials you choose, like asphalt shingles versus metal or tile. We also look at the pitch or slope of your roof and how many layers of old material need to be pulled off before we start. If there is hidden wood rot or damaged decking underneath, that adds to the labor and supplies required.

What are rolled roofing shingles?
Rolled roofing is a type of asphalt roofing. It comes in large rolls, making it easier to install on low-slope or flat roofs. It's often a more budget-friendly option. However, it might not offer the same lifespan or aesthetic appeal as other shingle types. Consider its use for specific roof areas.
Is corrugated metal roofing a good choice for Raleigh homes?
Corrugated metal roofing is durable and can withstand Raleigh's weather. It's lightweight and can last a long time. It also offers a distinct look. However, it can be noisy during rainstorms if not installed with proper underlayment. It's a practical option for many homeowners.
What are metal roof panels and how do they differ?
Metal roof panels are typically larger and have a more defined profile than corrugated metal. They offer excellent durability and a modern appearance. Panels often come in various styles, like standing seam, which provides superior weather resistance. They are a long-term investment for your home.
