Reasons to Install Asphalt Shingles on Your Home

Asphalt shingles dominate 70% of the market because they offer a variety of attractive options and while protecting homes from the elements. Plus, they’re affordable. That’s why many American homeowners turn to their local roofing contractors to supply their homes with this ever-dependable roofing option.

Here are the best reasons for choosing asphalt shingles for your roofing system, whether organic or fiberglass.

Affordability

Many homeowners favor asphalt shingles because they provide their home with a decent level of protection for 12 to 17 years, all for a modest upfront cost. With proper maintenance and care, you can even extend their longevity and make the most of your initial investment.

Durability

Expert commercial roofing contractors will tell you outright that you can depend on asphalt shingles to shield your home from rough weather. Organic shingles are made from paper saturated with asphalt, coated with adhesive salt and topped with ceramic granules, making them reliably waterproof.

Variety of Styles

In spite of their cheap cost, asphalt shingles do not lack style. In fact, they are available in three profiles: 3-Tab (basic and least costly), Laminated (Architectural or Dimensional), and Premium. So, there is always an option that will perfectly match your home’s style.

Relative Ease of Installation

Any knowledgeable roofing contractor can properly install asphalt shingles. Also, asphalt shingles are lightweight enough to be installed on almost any roof without requiring any additional structural support. A typical asphalt shingle roof can be installed in a few days.
