Shingles Are a Smart Choice

As mentioned before, a new roof is a great way to dramatically change the appearance of your home. Just like siding, roof shingles come in a large range of styles, colors and finishes, making it all but impossible NOT to find something that perfectly suits your home and its particular needs. For example, asphalt roofing shingles are a popular choice for homeowners across the country, because they are inexpensive and relatively easy to install. They are also durable, as the widespread hurricane damage that the country suffered in the 90s prompted shingle manufacturers to up the wind force the shingles can withstand without tearing.

Asphalt shingles come in two forms – organic and fiberglass (sometimes also called “glass fiber”). The organic shingles are made from paper that is made waterproof by being saturated with asphalt, and then another coat of adhesive asphalt with ceramic granules is applied over the top. If copper is also mixed in, then the shingle also becomes resistant to algae and moss. The fiberglass shingles are made from randomly laid fiberglass bonded to resin, and then coated in asphalt to make them waterproof. A qualified, skilled contractor will know how to install roofing of either type of shingle and help you decide which is best for you and your home.
