Two materials. One table. A source for every number.

Side-by-side comparisons of building materials, built from manufacturer warranties and data sheets, building codes and government research. No sponsored picks, no guessed prices.

Roofing

Documents, not opinions

Every row in a comparison links to the warranty, code section or study it comes from.

No price without a source

If no citable source publishes a cost, the page says so instead of estimating one.

Dated and corrected

Each page shows when its sources were last checked. Errors are fixed and dated.
