What Are the Best Wind-Resistant Roofing Materials?

Strong winds are fairly common in New England, so your home’s roof needs to be durable enough to remain intact when being battered by intense gusts. 

For this reason, you might be wondering which roofing materials are best for your home in terms of wind resistance. Below, we examine some of the most popular residential roofing options and help determine which ones will help you avoid wind damage to your roof.

  • Metal Roofing: Metal is often a consideration for high winds, but the cost of metal roofs can be prohibitive for homeowners on a budget. Yes, a metal roof is a contender in terms of durability and lifespan, but you’ll likely be paying for a metal roof for many years.
  • Tile Roofs: Tile roofs are extremely heavy, which helps them stay intact during strong winds. However, they can be especially vulnerable to damage from wind-blown debris.
  • Slate Roofs: Slate roofing is exceptionally heavy, to the point that the roof deck will require extra reinforcement prior to installation. While a slate roof is a great option in strong winds, it is also prohibitively expensive and requires specialized installation skills that many roofing contractors don’t possess.
  • Asphalt Shingles:  No other roofing material offers such an attractive combination of affordability, durability, and curb appeal. Of course, in terms of wind-resistant shingles, you get what you pay for.

Why are Asphalt Shingles the best for residential roofing?

There’s a good reason why close to 90% of residential roofing systems feature asphalt shingles. Of course, in terms of wind-resistant shingles, you get what you pay for. Many standard asphalt shingles have a wind rating for speeds up to 80 miles per hour, while premium architectural shingles can handle winds up to 110 miles per hour.

Look to NEWPRO for Your Roofing Needs

Quality of the windows was superior to the others we looked at. Now, our windows tilt in, so it's going to be much easier to clean them.

Pool House Doors Project

Cold stays out in the winter. Cold stays in during the summer.

The best thing I love is the craftsmanship from NEWPRO. You'd never know we had the old door cut out because it was rotted from the New England weather.
