Tiles coated with stone chips. Excellent for Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes. Also called “metal tile.”

Tulsa summer electric bills drop 10-25% with metal roofs. The reflective coating (cool roof technology) bounces back solar heat. Combined with proper ventilation, this significantly reduces AC workload.
Proof Construction offers manufacturer paint warranties of 30-40 years, leak-free warranties of 10-20 years, and workmanship warranties of 5-10 years. Ask about transferable warranties if you sell your home.

Choose shingles if: Budget is tight upfront, you’re selling in 5-10 years, or your roof needs replacement now.
