Asphalt shingles and metal are the two most common residential roofing choices in Texas. Both have real strengths — the right pick depends on your budget and priorities.
- Upfront cost — asphalt shingles are more affordable to install.
- Longevity — metal roofs can last 40–70 years vs. 15–25 for asphalt.
- Energy savings — metal reflects heat and can lower cooling bills in the AZ-like Texas summers.
- Curb appeal — both offer great looks; it comes down to the style you want.
