What is roofing?

Roofing is the general term for the craft of covering a building with a protective layer or covering. This protective layer is called a roof, and the goal of roofing is to protect buildings from the elements, such as rain, snow, sunlight, and extreme temperatures. Common roofing materials include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, slate, and wood shakes. The choice of material depends on factors like cost, aesthetics, durability, and climate.
