Shingle vs. Tile vs. Metal: Which Roof Is Best in Orlando?
By Daniel Reyes ·
The short answer
Architectural shingles are the most affordable and the most common. Tile lasts longest and suits Mediterranean-style homes. Metal costs more up front but reflects heat and handles high winds best.
Cost and lifespan
As a general range, shingle roofs last 15–25 years, metal 40–60 years, and tile 40+ years (with underlayment replaced around year 20–25). Your home’s size, pitch and HOA rules will narrow the choice.
