Specialty roofing and exterior systems for homes that need a different solution
Metal roofing, rubber roofing, cedar shake, and exterior cladding each solve a different homeowner need. This page helps you understand where those systems fit and when they are worth considering.
Standing seam and performance positioning
Metal roofing
Metal roofing is a long-view option for homeowners who want a crisp architectural finish, excellent weather performance, and a material that feels distinct from traditional asphalt systems.
It is often the right conversation when the homeowner wants a modern appearance, a specialty material profile, or a longer-horizon investment approach.
Low-slope and specialty roof applications
Rubber roofing
Rubber roofing is a strong choice for low-slope roof sections, additions, and select specialty applications where a different waterproofing strategy is required than a conventional steep-slope shingle roof.
For the right roof geometry, it provides practical weather resistance and a clean, functional finish that matches the technical needs of the structure.
Natural character and standout curb appeal
Cedar shake roofing
Cedar shake roofing is for homeowners who want a warm, distinctive roofline with natural texture and a more custom residential look than standard asphalt systems provide.
It works best when curb appeal, character, and a more handcrafted exterior feel are part of the decision, especially on homes where a natural material look fits the architecture.
Roofing and exterior protection
Siding and exterior cladding
Siding belongs alongside roofing in the Shield & Armour story because exterior protection is not limited to the roof alone. Quality cladding improves weather defense, finish quality, and overall curb appeal.
This category supports homeowners who want the house to feel complete, protected, and visually consistent after the project is finished.
How the categories differ
Each specialty category serves a different homeowner priority
These systems are grouped separately so it is easier to see which options match the roof shape, the architectural style of the home, and the performance goals of the project.
Metal roofing
Best for homeowners seeking a crisp architectural look, a distinct long-term material choice, and a roof system that feels materially different from asphalt.
Rubber roofing
Best for low-slope or specialty roof areas where the geometry calls for a waterproofing approach that differs from a steep-slope shingle installation.
Cedar shake roofing
Best for homeowners who want a natural material look, warmer character, and stronger curb appeal from a roof that feels more custom than standard shingles.
Siding and cladding
Best for homeowners who want to improve their home's exterior protection and appearance beyond the roof, creating a complete and cohesive finished look.
