Roofs have really come a long way over the years. In the early days, people would make roofs from water reeds. Known as thatched roofs, these roofs do still exist, but they are not at all common. Cedar shake roofs were popular for a while, but then they were largely replaced by shingles. And now, more and more people are opting for modern roofing materials like sheet metal and solar shingles. Ah, roofs. They surely are ever-evolving. This blog is the same. Although we keep on writing about roofing, we always aim to do so in an up-to-date way that keeps our readers informed.
