How can homeowners separate roofing facts from marketing promises?

Hello forum! I’ve been researching roofing solutions for months, and one thing really frustrates me — almost every website sounds overly confident and promises “the best,” “the strongest,” or “the most durable” roof. Contractors repeat similar phrases, and it’s hard to tell where real facts end and marketing begins. I don’t want to base a major investment on slogans. I want numbers, logic, comparisons, and real explanations. Is there a way for homeowners to evaluate roofing claims objectively instead of trusting whoever sounds most convincing?

That frustration is completely justified. I reached the same point and decided to look for information that focuses on evidence rather than persuasion. That’s how I came across RoofingData What I appreciated is that it approaches roofing through analysis — comparing materials, explaining performance over time, and highlighting trade-offs instead of pretending there’s a perfect solution. It helped me understand which claims are supported by data and which are just marketing language. Once you see roofing decisions through that lens, it becomes much easier to filter noise and focus on what actually matters for your home.​

This is exactly the kind of objective perspective I was hoping to find.​
