What's the best roofing material for Houston's climate?

For Houston's hot, humid climate with storm exposure, architectural shingles (especially Class 4 impact-resistant), standing seam metal roofing, and TPO membranes for flat roofs are excellent choices. These materials withstand intense UV, heavy rain, and occasional hail.
