Roof Materials: A Northeast Ohio Homeowner’s Guide
Roof Replacement Materials, Costs & Financing for Homeowners Across Northeast Ohio.
Every roof replacement starts with the same question: what’s it made of? Homeowners across Northeast Ohio have real options here — asphalt, metal, synthetic tile, Brava® tile, EPDM, TPO, and roof coating — and each one carries its own cost, lifespan, and look. Whatever material you land on, Hometown Roofing is here to make your next roof installation smooth and stress-free. That starts with clear answers before you commit to anything: what the material costs, how long it lasts, and which manufacturer stands behind it. Owens Corning®, Brava, and RhinoBond® are names you can look up yourself, not marketing labels. And if you’d rather pay over time than all at once, financing through Improvifi® is available on any material we install.

Roof Replacement Materials We Install
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement: The Common Standard
Asphalt shingles remain the most common roof replacement material for a reason — they’re straightforward, widely available, and priced to fit most project budgets. Hometown Roofing & Construction installs Owens Corning shingles, a manufacturer name you can check and compare against other brands yourself. Asphalt works well on standard residential roof replacement projects where the homeowner wants a proven material without a specialty price tag.
If your home needs a straightforward reroof, asphalt is usually the starting point for comparison. Ask about Owens Corning shingle options for your home, or see how we walk homeowners through shingle choices in more detail.
Metal Roof Replacement: Built for the Long Haul
Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt, but it also lasts longer and handles the exposure that rural and exurban properties see over time. For homeowners planning to stay awhile for decades, the math often favors metal once you look at total cost across the roof’s full life rather than just the install price.
Metal is a common choice for homeowners in Aurora, Hudson, and Bath who want to install once and be done with roof replacement for a long stretch. Compare metal against asphalt for your specific roof before deciding.
Synthetic and Brava Tile Roof Replacement: Style Without the Trade-Off
Synthetic roof tiles and Brava tile give a home the look of slate or cedar shake without the weight or the maintenance those traditional materials require. Brava is a named manufacturer we install directly, so you’re getting a specific, checkable product rather than a generic “designer shingle” claim.
This option fits homeowners in Solon, Chagrin Falls, and Broadview Heights who want a distinct exterior look tied to a real material spec, not just a photo. Ask to see Brava tile options or read our synthetic slate buyer’s guide before your estimate.
EPDM and TPO Roof Replacement for Flat and Low-Slope Sections
Not every roof is a simple pitched surface — additions, porches, and commercial buildings often have flat or low-slope sections that need a different material entirely. EPDM rubber roofing and TPO membrane roofing are both built for this, and we install RhinoBond TPO systems specifically because the fastening method holds up without penetrating the membrane repeatedly.
Commercial roofing property owners and homeowners with additions in Green or Jackson Township are the most common candidates for this material category. Ask which of these fits your flat or low-slope section.
Roof Coating vs. Roof Replacement: Extending What You Already Have
Roof coating isn’t a full roof replacement, it’s a maintenance option that can add years to an existing roof, particularly flat commercial roofing or TPO systems that are otherwise in decent shape. It’s worth asking about before assuming a full tear-off is the only path forward.
For a roof that’s aging but not failing, coating can be the lower-cost move that buys time before a full replacement roof project is needed. Ask whether your roof is a coating candidate or a replacement candidate.
Roof Replacement Estimate: What Materials Cost in Northeast Ohio
Material cost is one of the biggest variables in any roof replacement estimate, and the range is wide on purpose. Asphalt sits at the lower end, metal and Brava tile sit higher, and EPDM or TPO pricing depends on the size and complexity of the flat section being covered. Rather than quote a single number that won’t match your actual roof, we walk each homeowner through a real cost range tied to their specific material choice, roof size, and current condition.
A straightforward asphalt reroof in North Canton will cost differently than a full metal roof replacement in Kent, and that’s expected, the goal is a number you can plan around, not a surprise. For homeowners still weighing repair against replacement, our repair vs. replacement breakdown is a useful next read. Request a written estimate broken down by material.
Roof Financing Options: Financing Your Roof Replacement with Improvifi
Financing through Improvifi lets you spread the cost of a new roof over time instead of paying the full amount upfront — the same way you’d finance a truck, a tractor, or any other major purchase.
If a family-legacy home is on a tighter timeline for repairs, financing can also make a durability-first material choice, like metal or Brava tile, fit inside a working budget instead of forcing a downgrade. Ask about Improvifi financing options when you request your estimate.
Choosing the Right Roof Replacement Material for Your Home
There’s no single “best” roofing material. The right one depends on how long you plan to stay in the home, what you’re willing to spend upfront versus over time, and how much the exterior look matters to you. Asphalt covers the standard case well. Metal and Brava tile cost more but reduce how often you’ll deal with roof replacement again. EPDM and TPO solve a specific flat-roof problem that asphalt and metal can’t.
Not sure your roof needs replacing yet? Our 5 signs guide is a good place to check before you commit. The most useful next step is a no-pressure estimate that walks through your roof’s actual condition and gives you real numbers for two or three material options side by side. Schedule an estimate to compare materials for your home.
