Slate!

You'll need a second mortgage to afford it... but you'll be the only guy on your block with a slate roof! :-)

...and it will make an exciting noise as the entire roof flies one way and the house goes another way during the next earthquake.
Yeah! That'd be cool! ;-)

(part of that second mortgage would be for structural upgrades to hold up a bunch of slabs of rock on your roof....)
