What is a composition roof?

Choosing the right roof isn’t just about what looks good—it’s about what performs well, lasts long, and fits your budget. That’s why more and more homeowners are turning to one solution: the composition roof.

At Roof Smith, we’ve seen it all—from metal to tile to flat roof systems. And when it comes to balancing value, protection, and curb appeal, the composition roof continues to lead the way.

So, What Exactly Is a Composition Roof?

A composition roof is built using asphalt-based shingles that are reinforced with fiberglass and coated in protective granules. But it’s not just about the mix of materials—it’s about the smart engineering behind it.

These roofs are designed to stand up to harsh weather, defend against UV damage, and shed water efficiently. In other words, a composition roof works hard while looking great.


3 Reasons a Composition Roof Makes Sense

Let’s break down why a composition roof might be the right move for your home:


1. You Get Performance Without the Premium Price Tag

Homeowners love that a composition roof can mimic the look of high-end materials like slate or shake—without the cost or weight. You get long-term performance at a fraction of the price of tile or metal systems.

2. It’s Built for Texas & New Mexico Weather

From hailstorms in Amarillo to UV exposure in Lubbock, homes here take a beating. Composition shingles are impact-rated and wind-tested to hold up under the stress of our local climate.

3. Future You Will Thank You

A composition roof is low-maintenance, repair-friendly, and often backed by industry-leading warranties (especially when installed by a Platinum Preferred Contractor like Roof Smith). That means fewer headaches, fewer surprises, and more money saved over time.


Why Roof Smith Recommends Composition Roofing

We don’t just install roofs—we help homeowners make informed choices. That’s why we often recommend Owens Corning Duration® shingles for composition roof installations. They offer:

  • SureNail® Technology for better grip and wind resistance

  • Algae protection for a longer-lasting clean appearance

  • A variety of rich, dimensional color options

Whether you’re replacing an aging roof or building a new home, we’ll help you create a solution that fits your home and your budget.


Ready for a Smarter, Stronger Roof?If you’re weighing your roofing options, don’t overlook the power of a well-built composition roof. It’s one of the most reliable investments you can make in your home’s value and protection.
