Several factors can influence the overall cost of asphalt shingle roofing

Long-term Considerations

Despite their many advantages, terracotta clay roofs do come with some considerations. One potential downside is their weight. Terracotta tiles are heavier than many other roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, which means that the supporting structure of a building may need to be reinforced to handle the additional load. Furthermore, while terracotta is incredibly durable, it can be brittle and may crack if walked on carelessly or subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations.

1. Types of Asphalt Shingles Asphalt shingles come in three primary types—three-tab, architectural, and luxury. Three-tab shingles are the most basic and cost-effective option, usually priced around $90 per square. Architectural shingles are thicker and offer better durability and aesthetics, typically costing between $100 and $120 per square. Luxury shingles, designed to mimic more expensive materials such as wood or slate, can range from $150 to $250 per square.
