Real Roofing Options That Hold Up to New York Weather

When it comes to protecting your home, the right roofing material makes all the difference. It’s not just about looks—your roof has to stand up to harsh weather, keep your home comfortable, and deliver lasting value year after year. At Big Apple Renovators, we offer three trusted roofing options that combine durability, style, and performance so your home stays safe and looks great no matter what New York throws at it.

Metal Roofing That Does the Heavy Lifting

Metal roofing is one of the most durable and low-maintenance options available, making it an ideal choice for New York homeowners who want a long-lasting solution that can handle extreme weather. It reflects heat in the summer, helping reduce energy costs, and easily sheds snow and rain in the winter, preventing damage from moisture buildup.

Metal roofs can last 40 years or more when properly installed, giving you peace of mind and fewer worries down the road. Beyond performance, metal roofing comes in a variety of styles and colors to match both modern and traditional homes. With its fire resistance and strong wind tolerance, it’s built to protect your home in every season.

Wood Shingles and Shakes with Natural Character

Wood shingles and shakes offer a timeless, natural look that enhances the character of any home. Made from durable cedar or other quality woods, they provide excellent insulation and help regulate indoor temperatures, which can improve energy efficiency.

While both are crafted from wood, shingles are machine-cut and smooth, offering a uniform appearance, whereas shakes are hand-split and thicker, giving a more rustic and textured look. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to maximize their lifespan, but when done right, wood roofs can last for decades.

Slate Roofing That Goes the Distance

Slate roofing is the ultimate choice for homeowners who want unmatched durability and timeless elegance. Made from natural stone, slate offers incredible resistance to fire, wind, and extreme temperature changes, making it one of the toughest roofing materials available. When properly installed, a slate roof can easily last 75 to 100 years or more, providing decades of reliable protection with minimal maintenance.

Beyond its strength, slate adds a distinctive, upscale look that can boost your home’s curb appeal and overall value. However, installing slate requires specialized skill and experience, which is why it’s important to trust a certified expert like Big Apple Renovators.
