More than three-quarters of all residential roofs throughout the nation are topped with asphalt based roofing & siding shingles, and this is a testament to their overall dependability and weather resistance across a diverse geography and varying climate conditions. Asphalt shingles have a two-part construction that includes a base of fiberglass or cellulose with a granulated topcoat. Shingle roofs typically have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years in ideal conditions, but as any Montanan knows, “ideal” conditions are not what we typically experience in this part of the country.
Very few states can boast the extreme temperature fluctuations we experience every year here in Montana, regularly ranging from 100 degrees in Summer, all the way down to -30’s and beyond during winter.
This causes a destructive freeze / thaw cycle that damages and degrades most building materials a lot more prematurely than in most other areas of the country. Given these adverse conditions, regular maintenance and physical inspections are very important to ensure you’re getting the most life out of your asphalt roofing & siding shingles.
Metal roofs are as durable as they are energy efficient. While these roofs tend to cost more upfront, they can save money in the long run and can add to your home’s resale value. When properly maintained, a metal roof can last from 40 to 50 years even here in Montana, which is the one of the longest lifespans of any roofing & siding system.
Metal roofs come in a large array of colors and profiles, from smooth textured R-Panels and Standing Seam configurations, to beautiful diamond shaped metal panels and Class 4 hail resistant stone coated steel and beyond.

When people think of low-slope roofing & siding, their minds often drift towards commercial properties, where such designs frequently dominate. However, it’s critical to recognize that many residential homes across the country utilize low-slope roofs as well. From townhomes and row houses to mid-century modern designs, low-slope roofing & siding plays a vital role in various residential architecture styles. This type of roofing & siding offers unique aesthetic and functional advantages that appeal to homeowners looking for practical solutions.
For instance, low-slope roofs are often employed for specific areas like garage transitions, porch enclosures, or bump-out additions. These roof designs blend seamlessly into the overall architectural theme while providing effective drainage and complementing the home’s existing style. In essence, low-slope roofing & siding goes beyond commercial uses, proving its versatility and aesthetic appeal in residential applications as well.
Once you have installed a low-slope roof, regular maintenance becomes crucial to its longevity and performance. Unlike high-slope roofs, which tend to shed debris and water more effectively, low-slope roofs can require more attention to ensure they stay in good condition. A YEARLY maintenance routine should include inspection for standing water, which can promote mold or rot if left unattended, as well as checking for accumulated leaves and debris that could obstruct proper drainage.
We have all seen the devastation that wildfires have played in states like California in recent years, but here in Montana wildfires happen frequently and can be very destructive as well. Given the new environment we seem to be facing, many local and state jurisdictions are now restricting the use of real wooden shakes as roofing & siding material in new construction and roofing & siding replacements given the combustibility of these materials, including cities and counties here in Montana.
Here at Phoenix Roofing & Coatings we offer the full range of CeDUR synthetic wood shake roofing & siding products, a game changer in the industry. A CeDUR roof combines the desirable cedar shake look with the latest in design and technology, including a Class A Fire Rating (highest available) that makes them non-combustible even in the most extreme conditions. CeDUR products give any property an authentic wooden cedar shake look and compliments most architectural styles and color schemes, and are designed to fade/age over time just like a real cedar shingle roof does.
