Camden Roof Replacement Options: Cost, Pros & Cons

Key Takeaways

Camden homeowners have several roofing options, each with distinct advantages—metal roofing is durable and energy-efficient, slate tiles offer exceptional longevity, and asphalt shingles are affordable and easy to install.
Consider the initial costs along with the long-term financial benefits, such as durability and energy efficiency, when choosing the roofing material.
Different materials have unique maintenance needs and installation challenges; for instance, wood shingles require regular treatment to prevent damage, while slate tiles need specialized installation skills.

Roof Replacement Options in Camden

Asphalt shingles are a common choice among homeowners because they’re affordable and easy to install. They also come in a variety of colors so you can always find something that fits your home.

Another popular option are wood shakes—known for their natural and rustic look. These roofs are often found on traditional homes and they require more maintenance to prevent issues like mold, rot, and insect infestation.

Also popular are style and tile roofing—known for both durability and elegance—which can last over a century with proper care. While these roofs are more expensive, they are also more durable—plus they’re environmentally friendly.
