Every homeowner has unique needs — and every home deserves the right roofing system. Here are the three primary types we install across the Southeast.
Compare the details, ask questions, and choose the option that fits your home—not a one-size-fits-all package.
Architectural shingles are thicker and built to withstand tough weather while adding serious curb appeal. Southern Exteriors installs GAF architectural shingles… the most trusted name for architectural shingles.
Heavier and more durable than 3-tab
Wide range of colors and styles available
Backed by strong GAF (and in-house) warranties
3-tab asphalt shingles are the most cost-effective way to replace your roof with trusted GAF quality. Though lighter and simpler in design, they still provide solid protection when properly installed. We recommend them for more budget-conscious homeowners.
Clean, uniform look
Affordable without cutting corners
GAF-backed performance and durability
Metal roofs are the ultimate in strength, longevity, and energy efficiency. We install them for both residential and commercial properties across the Southeast. This option is perfect for homeowners who want decades of peace of mind.
Lasts 40-70 years with proper care
Energy-efficient and resistant to fire
Excellent in high-wind and storm conditions
All three roofing types deliver trusted performance, protection, and curb appeal. Use the chart below to compare features and find the roof that best matches your home and goals.

Homeowner experience
★★★★★Google Verified review“Southern Exterior recently completed all the roofing and guttering on my 49-building complex, and their work was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, strong communication, and true craftsmanship. What truly set this project apart was their management staff. They were organized, responsive, and incredibly engaged throughout the entire process. Their leadership kept the project running smoothly, addressed questions immediately, and ensured every phase stayed on track. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every decision they made. Handling a project of this size is no small task, yet Southern Exterior executed it with ease—delivering consistent, high-quality work across all buildings. Their crews were respectful, efficient, and clearly take pride in their craft. It’s rare to find a company with this level of reliability, coordination, and excellence. I couldn’t be more impressed or more satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Southern Exterior to anyone needing top-tier roofing or guttering work. They absolutely earned this five-star review.”
★★★★★Google Verified review“My wife and I were looking to build our dream home and after working with multiple home builders, no one was able to bring our vision to life. Then we stumbled upon Southern Exteriors; they were truly a one stop shop for all of our exterior needs. From the beautiful Hardie board and batton siding to the custom cedar trim and metal roofing, they did it all! It was such a pleasure working with our dedicated field representative who answered and handled all of our questions. We recommend Southern Exteriors to all of our family and friends.”
