Gable roofs are some of the most common roof types in the US and have been for a long time. As a sloped roof type, a gable roof is perfect for a variety of roofing materials like shingles and metal roofing. While your local roofing company has experience with gable roofs, homeowners need to understand their roofs.
SRS Exteriors Roofing Options for Gable Roofs
At SRS Exteriors, we want our Chicagoland property owners to understand their roof type and how that affects their roofing services. Since a gable roof is simpler than other roof types, a roof replacement or new roof installation can be less expensive than a hipped roof. Since it is a sloped roof style, certain roofing materials are also better on a gable roof than others.

Asphalt Shingles
Roof shingles are a cost-effective, lightweight, and versatile type of roofing material that protects a gable roof without being too heavy or costly to install. Shingles come in a huge variety of colors and finishes so your gable roof can match your home exterior.
-
Metal Roofing
Metal roof systems, often called standing seam metal roofs, are made of metal panels welded together with waterproof seams that direct snow and rain off the roof. This type of roofing is attached to the roof with fasteners. Though a more expensive roofing option, metal roofing is also versatile and impressively long-lasting.

Wood Shake Roofing
Natural wood roofing like cedar shake is a beautiful and classic option, but today we have modern composite materials called “wood shake” that is waterproof, fireproof, and algae-resistant, unlike natural wood. A reputable roofing company that also does wood-style siding will have access to this kind of luxury roofing material.
