Asphalt shingle roofs are one of the most popular residential roofing systems in the United States and are relatively inexpensive with simple installation. One of the perks is the materials flexibility. If a repair needs to be done, asphalt shingle repair is fast and affordable. The flexible nature of the asphalt residential roofing materials makes for great practicality while installing shingles on angles and roof accessories.
Asphalt shingle roofs are also called composition singles and are one of our most popular roofing choice. We specifically recommend Title 24 compliant cool roof shingles.
Deciding upon which shingle type is best for your roofing needs is an important decision. There are three categories of asphalt shingles:
- Three-tab shingles
- Architectural shingles
- Luxury shingles
Each has their own benefits. As you move down the list, the more expensive the tiles are. Asphalt shingles can last between 15-25 years. Asphalt shingles also provide protection against harsh weather conditions and, if damage does occur, make for fast repairs.
Wilson Brothers Roofing provides asphalt shingles as residential roofing materials that are environmentally friendly as well as durable. Our asphalt shingles come from Malarkey Roofing Products and Owens Corning, shingle manufacturers who both focus on sustainability and durable materials.
Another one of the residential roofing systems Wilson Brothers Roofing provides is tiles. Tiles come in a variety of designs to fit your style. Not only do they provide beautiful design to your home, but they are also:
- Energy efficient
- Durable
- Fireproof
The lifespan of tiles depends on the type but can range between 50 and 70 years. Types of roof tiles include:
- Metal
- Clay
- Concrete
- Stone
- Copper
- Composite
- Ceramic
Tiles can provide a unique look to your roof based on the specific tile. For example, clay tiles offer a classic style that give your roof a charmingly rustic appearance while also providing quality and safety to your home. Wilson Brothers Roofing has tiles in a variety of different colors and sizes that will best suit your residential roofing project.

Residential Roofing FAQs
What Is Residential Roofing?
Your roof makes a statement about your home as well as protecting your family and keeping you safe from the elements. Residential roofing can take many forms. We provide residential roofing services for your home, shed, garage, and just about any residence you need roofing for.
Compared to commercial roofing—which typically involves low-pitch roofing that requires materials like silicon roofing—residential roofing materials are designed for steeper slopes that are more popular for home design. Residential roofing focuses more on design than commercial roofing, which typically cannot be seen from street view.
However, if you do need a residential flat roof repair, we can take care of that for you with the proper roofing materials.
What Is the Most Durable Roofing?
We work with ASC building products to cover your your residential home, patios, and garages, and agricultural structures. Metal roofing is a durable, long-lived material that can last between 40-70 years. You choose your thickness, color, and design, and we install it for you.

How Do I Choose the Right Bakersfield Roofers for My Project?
Ask Around for Referrals
The best way to choose a roofer you can count on is by asking friends, family, and neighbors for referrals. We stand by our work and are certain our previous customers will too.
We’ve provided a few additional tips for finding an experienced and reliable roofer.
- Ask two-three companies for a proposal and be sure to ask as many questions of each as is necessary for you to feel comfortable.
- Compare pricing before jumping to the lowest bidder.
- Get everything in writing.
- Find out when payment is due.
- Find out how many layers of roof you already have and what they plan to remove.
- Make sure all parts have a warranty.
- Ensure the roofer will fix any mistakes.
Make Sure Your Bakersfield Roofer Is Licensed and Insured
If your contractor doesn’t have a proper license and insurance—not to mention adequate experience or a good reputation—we strongly advise you not to use them.
Read Online Reviews and Check Credibility
The internet is filled with reviews, not all of them equal. Read them thoroughly, and determine which ones seem valid.
Look for a Roofer Who Is Knowledgeable and Willing to Help
Your homeowner’s association (HOA) will often have great roofers—like Wilson Brothers Roofing, Inc.—to recommend. And we are here to answer any questions you may have.
Warning Signs of a Roofer to Avoid
It can be difficult to tell if your roofer has left you with a mess over your head. Sometimes you might be able to notice an error from the ground, but most mishaps take time to show themselves.
- There may be uniformity errors. Normally, a roofing system will wear on the sides slowly. If the shingles are various sizes and colors, then something is likely wrong.
- Sometimes rooftops might start to sag or misalign. Check for dips and curves in the roofing.
- It is possible your roofer used the wrong sized nail, which can lead to leaking.
- Check for a drip edge beneath the roc’s edge. If it is missing, it can result in rotting, staining, molding, flooding, and erosion.
- A missing underlayment of tar beneath the shingles will result in water leaks.
Unlicensed or Uninsured Roofing Contractors
If something on your roofing project goes wrong or is delayed, the financial responsibility should fall on the roofer and their insurance company. If you don’t hire a licensed/insured roofer, you will be the responsible party.
For example, if your uninsured roofer damages a power line, YOU are responsible. Even worse, if they don’t have workers’ compensation and are injured on your roofing job, YOU are responsible. This is more than a cautionary tale—it can be a sad, frustrating reality.
High-Pressure Sales Tactics
A reputable roofer will have fair prices and a good reputation. Scammers tend to offer low rates only if someone immediately signs a contract. It is likely that this “low” rate is much higher than competitors’ rates.
In short, don’t sign anything if you feel pressured. Always check if a company is accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
