Need a new roof on my single family rental property
Hello,
What type of shingle or other material is best when redoing a roof on a rental property? I am trying to get some ideas as I am new to this. Thank you.

Depnds on the size of your roof and your area. You might want to conform to other properties in the area, so you should take a look at what they are using. I'm a fan of asphalt architectural 30 year shingles. If you have a huge roof, the 30 year will be more costly than 20 year, but isn't a huge difference in a smaller roof.
