The right shingle roof for your project is the one that balances all of those considerations. Asphalt shingles take over an overwhelming share of the U.S. residential roofing market. These shingles can be either organic or fiberglass materials. Although shingles reinforced with organic felts have a longer history, fiberglass-reinforced products have become a more common choice.

EPDM is easily adaptable for a variety of application techniques such as ballasted, fully adhered or mechanically fastened, enabling a EPDM roofing system to be applied to virtually any roof surface-flat, spherical, curved or slanted.
