Are you tired of having to replace your roof once every couple of decades? Has your previous roof lasted less than 10 years? If you want to invest in durable materials for roofing Barrington homes, the following options should help you out:

• • If you’re on a budget, it might be a good idea to limit yourself to architectural shingles. These shingles won’t last much longer than asphalt shingles, but they are superior in craftsmanship, require less maintenance, and still have a slightly longer lifespan.
  • Metal roofing is great if you want something more modern and unique. Metal is also extremely practical and energy-efficient, and some types of metal roofing products are not too expensive either. Most importantly, a metal roof can last for up to 75 years without needing too much maintenance.
  • Finally, it’s a good idea to try natural slate if you want to go all out. Not to be confused with faux slate, since the difference between the two is staggering, natural slate is the single most durable and reliable roofing material in the world, easily lasting more than 100-120 years and outlasting its synthetic counterparts.

Even if you don’t have enough money to buy an exquisite copper roof or a durable slate roof, you can still consider a few other durable roofing materials. These include steel, concrete, terracotta and clay.
