Roofing Options We Offer
Before you can decide which roof replacement material to choose for your home, it’s helpful to learn more about the different options available to you.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles combine value, architectural style, and reliable weather protection. C&W installs IKO shingles in several performance levels, giving homeowners options based on budget, appearance, and storm-protection priorities.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing offers long-term durability, low maintenance, and a distinctive appearance. It can be a strong choice for homeowners prioritizing longevity and weather resistance.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam systems feature raised seams and concealed fasteners for a clean appearance and fewer exposed fastening points. They are a premium option for homeowners seeking long-term performance and architectural appeal.
Which Roofing Material Is Right for Your Home?
There isn’t one roofing material that is right for every property.
Consider asphalt shingles if you want:
- A budget-conscious roofing option
- Numerous colors and architectural styles

- Multiple performance levels
Consider metal roofing if you want:
