Residential Roofing Products include those products necessary to provide a quality roofing system typically for a consumer's home, garage or other residential applications. Residential roofing products are usually designed for steep slope application.

Residential Roofing vs. Commercial Roofing

While residential roofing applies to homes, commercial roofing applies to structures designed for retail or trade. Examples of commercial roofing include shopping centers, arcades, public facilities, and more. In addition to their respective purposes, other differences include:

Design
Compared to residential homes, commercial structures, such as shopping plazas, are usually larger in terms of square footage. Therefore, commercial roofs must be designed to support the structure’s extra weight and size. In contrast, residential roofing systems commonly have pitched design with a higher slope.

Materials
Both commercial and residential roofing systems must be made of durable material that can withstand harsh weather. Durable options include:

Metal
  • Asphalt shingles
  • Wood
  • Solar shingles
However, unlike residential roofing, commercial roofing incorporates elements like ventilation and air conditioning, which must be taken into account when choosing the right roofing material.

Maintenance
Residential roofing systems are easier to clean and maintain than their commercial counterparts thanks to their smaller size. They’re also easier to scan for storm damage since you have less area to scan.

Types of Residential Roofing

Every residential structure is different and therefore it’s important to have an understanding of different residential roofing systems, their qualities, and which would be the best fit for your home:

Shingle
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material because they are simple to install and are one of the more economical choices. These shingles are also incredibly durable and boast an average lifespan of about 15 to 20 years. They are also available in a wide selection of colors and styles.

Metal
Metal roofing systems are great for Utah homeowners with concerns about winter season, especially if you’re in a severe weather-prone area like Utah. Metal roofing systems must pass stringent wind and uplift tests that include simulated wind speeds that are over 150 miles per hour. Metal roofs are also fire resistant, and by having one installed on your home, you may be eligible for lower premiums on your homeowner’s insurance.  

Tile
Tile roofs are loved for their durability. Properly installed tile roofs can withstand rain, wind, and hail. They’re also fire resistant, like metal roofs, and can lower energy costs because they reduce heat transfer through air circulating under the tiles. Like shingles, they are also available in a variety of colors.
