Asphalt Roofing

Shingles stand as one of America’s most popular roofing materials, valued for their affordability and easy installation. With a history spanning over a century, asphalt shingles offer versatility with a wide range of styles and colors, making them suitable for nearly any home.

There are two main types of asphalt roofing: organic and fiberglass. Organic shingles typically feature a base of paper or wood fiber saturated with asphalt for waterproofing, while fiberglass shingles utilize a resin-coated fiberglass base, boasting a higher fire rating but are more prone to algae growth.

Within Shingles roofing, there are also distinctions between 3-tab and architectural shingles. 3-tab shingles are lighter and more affordable but offer less protection and a shorter lifespan compared to the thicker and more durable architectural shingles. Architectural shingles, bonded in layers for a dimensional appearance, offer better longevity and resistance to harsh weather conditions.

While architectural shingles may come with a higher initial cost, they provide enhanced durability and longevity, making them a preferred choice for homeowners in regions prone to severe weather.
