  • What does East Texas Roofing and Repairs believe the best roofing material is?

    The best roofing material for your project depends on what you’re looking for in terms of style and longevity. Metal roofs – especially copper roofs – last much longer than other materials. However, they are more susceptible to damage from hail and flying debris.
