Synthetic roofing materials offer a practical and versatile roofing solution for homeowners looking for an alternative to natural materials. With their blend of durability, aesthetic appeal, and relative ease of installation and maintenance, they represent a viable option for those looking to balance cost, appearance, and longevity in their roofing choice.
Synthetic roofing materials are modern alternatives to traditional roofing, made from a variety of materials including rubber, plastic, and polymer composites. These materials are engineered to mimic the appearance of natural roofing materials like slate, wood, or clay, while offering enhanced durability and flexibility.
Synthetic roofing materials come in various types and styles:
Synthetic Slate: Mimics the look of natural slate.
Synthetic Cedar Shakes: Resembles wood shakes but without the risk of fire.
Synthetic Barrel Tiles: Offers the appearance of traditional clay tiles.
Installation of synthetic roofing materials is generally straightforward and can be less labor-intensive than natural alternatives. Maintenance typically involves routine cleaning to remove debris and moss.
The average lifespan of synthetic roofing materials can range from 40 to 50 years, with some products lasting even longer. The cost varies based on quality and style but is often comparable to or slightly higher than traditional materials when considering longevity and maintenance costs.

THE COOPERATIVE ADVANTAGE: BUYING POWER & MUCH MORE
A cooperative business belongs to the people who use it... people who have organized to provide themselves with the goods and services they need to succeed. Across America, 120 million people are solving problems and enjoying a better life because of their co-ops. People have formed 47,000 cooperatives for farming, banking, housing, childcare, health care, electric and telephone service, food retailing and other goods and services. They trust their co-ops to help them find solutions.
To achieve success in this jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise, there is a basic set of principles that cooperatives practice. These are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.
A cooperative is one way for independent business owners - the backbone of Main Street USA - to prosper and effectively meet the challenge of chain stores and big box competition.
