A roof replacement is the one chance in 20 years to change how the top of your house looks. Most people put back what they had. Here are some ideas worth considering first.

Designer shingles
Heavier, thicker shingles that imitate slate or hand-split shake give a house a more custom look without the weight and cost of real slate or wood. Lines like GAF Camelot and Grand Manor and CertainTeed Belmont are common on higher-end homes in North Texas.
Metal accents
Standing-seam metal over a front porch, bay window or entry, with shingles on the main roof, adds contrast and a modern farmhouse look. It costs far less than an all-metal roof.
A full metal roof
Standing-seam metal lasts decades, sheds rain and wind well, and reflects heat. It suits modern, farmhouse and rural homes. Large hail can dent it, so ask about thickness and impact ratings.
Tile
Clay and concrete tile suit Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. Tile lasts a long time and handles heat, but it is heavy, needs framing designed for it, and costs more. It can crack under large hail or careless foot traffic.
Flat and low-slope roofs
On modern homes, flat or low-slope sections create clean lines. They need a membrane like TPO, careful drainage design, and regular maintenance to keep water from ponding. White membranes reflect heat well.
