Versatile Roof Types for Texas Homes

A roof defines more than just the outline of your home—it provides year-round defense against Texas weather, affects energy efficiency, and creates a lasting impression. Choosing the right roof type impacts your home’s safety, comfort, and value for decades.

Next Gen Roofing and Construction offers multiple roof types, each designed for strength, longevity, and visual appeal. Our team provides expert guidance to match homeowners with the roofing material that best fits their property, budget, and performance goals.

Architectural Shingle Roofing

Architectural shingles combine multi-dimensional beauty with long-term performance. Their layered design casts natural shadows across the roofline, giving homes a premium appearance that stands out in the neighborhood. Beyond their style, they are engineered for reliability against Texas heat and seasonal storms.

Key benefits of architectural shingles include:

• Enhanced curb appeal with dimensional, layered patterns that elevate your home’s look
• Improved wind and storm resistance thanks to thicker materials and strong adhesive seals
• Extended lifespan and reduced maintenance compared to basic three-tab shingles
• Better energy performance when paired with proper attic ventilation
• Increased property value through a combination of beauty and durability

Architectural shingles typically last 20–30 years, offering an excellent balance of cost, style, and performance for homeowners seeking an upgrade without switching to a specialty material.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing offers a high-performance, modern solution for homeowners seeking long-lasting protection and energy efficiency. Panels or standing seam designs provide excellent resistance against hail, wind, and sun exposure.

Benefits of metal roofing include:

• Exceptional durability that can last 40–70 years with proper care
• High wind, hail, and storm resistance suitable for Texas weather challenges
• Energy-efficient performance by reflecting solar heat and supporting lower cooling costs
• Minimal maintenance needs and superior fire resistance
• Modern aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary homes

Metal roofs are ideal for homeowners prioritizing longevity and efficiency, offering some of the lowest lifetime costs among roofing materials.

Low-Slope Roofing

Low-slope roofs are commonly used in modern home designs, additions, and certain residential structures where a subtle pitch allows for controlled water runoff. These roofs require professional installation and materials specifically engineered to manage moisture and support effective drainage for long-term reliability.

Benefits of low-slope roofing include:

• Efficient use of space while maintaining a slight pitch to encourage proper water flow
• Cost-effective coverage using specialized materials such as modified bitumen and single-ply membrane systems
• Clean, streamlined appearance that complements contemporary and transitional architectural styles
• Custom drainage solutions designed to reduce water buildup and protect the underlying structure
• Improved performance when paired with routine inspections to maintain water-tight integrity

Low-slope roofing offers a balance of design flexibility and functional drainage, making it a dependable option for properties that require durability without steep roof angles.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofing systems are widely used on commercial buildings, multifamily properties, and modern residential designs, especially where space efficiency and contemporary aesthetics are priorities. In regions with intense sun, storms, and variable weather, proper material selection and professional installation are key to durability and long-term performance. 

Benefits of flat roofing include:

• Versatile design that accommodates rooftop equipment, HVAC systems, or future deck spaces
• Compatible with a range of membrane materials like TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen for tailored performance
• Simplified roof layout that can reduce material waste and installation complexity
• Professional drainage solutions that redirect water away from the structure to prevent pooling and leaks
• Easy access for maintenance and repairs compared to steep roofs

Flat roofing requires routine inspections and maintenance to protect against leaks and weathering, but when installed with quality materials and attention to drainage, offers a practical and adaptable roofing solution.

TPO Roofing

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing is a type of single-ply membrane specifically engineered for flat and low-slope roofs. It has become one of the most popular commercial roofing materials because it balances energy performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for modern buildings in hot climates or areas with variable weather. 

Benefits of TPO roofing include:

• High energy efficiency from its highly reflective surface, which can reduce heat absorption and help lower cooling costs
• Durable, heat-welded seams and reinforced membranes that resist wind, rain, and UV exposure
• Cost-effective installation and lifecycle compared with many traditional flat roofing systems
• Broad compatibility across building types, including offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and multifamily properties
• Often recyclable at the end of its service life, supporting environmentally conscious building choices

TPO roofing offers long-term performance when installed by certified professionals and maintained through regular inspections, making it a strong choice for energy-efficient, watertight flat roofing projects.
